20 years ago, 'The Departed' was Martin Scorsese's biggest success. It also almost broke him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Are you still acop?” That question, asked by Jack Nicholson to Leonardo DiCaprio, is one of the first things that comes to mind when I think about “The Departed.” Directed by Martin Scorsese, “The Departed” is a riveting crime thriller about cops, criminals, and the lies, deception and loyalty that come with the territory. The star-studded cast includes Nicholson, DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, Vera Farmiga and Martin Sheen. If you thought “The Departed” lost a step, think a
7 best Robert Pattinson movies, ranked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Robert Pattinson is fearless. The 40-year-old actor isn’t afraid to take risks. One moment, Pattinson is the Caped Crusader, and the next, instead of resting on his laurels, he’ll play a dishonorable coward. What I admire about Pattinson is how he uses his movie star prowess for good. He’ll star in the blockbuster and use his fame to get an independent movie made with an interesting director. Pattinson’s busy 2026 continues with “Primetime,” where he plays television host Chris Hansen in a drama
25 years later, 'The Fast and the Furious’ franchise has lost its soul — but it can get it back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Outrageous. Ridiculous. Excessive. It’s fair to use all three words when describing the current state of the “Fast & Furious” franchise. 25 years ago, those adjectives would never be used to describe the first movie in the franchise, “The Fast and the Furious.” I’ve seen every single movie in the “Fast & Furious” saga, including the spin-off, which relied more on comedy than racing. Considering what the movies have become, I miss the days of tuna sandwiches, 10-second cars, and Race Wars. There
20 years ago, Samuel L. Jackson threatened to walk off 'Snakes on a Plane' — here's why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m a sucker for a terrible movie on cable. I’m not sure if there’s a better feeling than sinking into your couch on a Sunday afternoon and flipping through the channels to find a mediocre movie on TNT or FX. This feeling is why I refuse to cut the cord — at least until I can’t afford it anymore. “Snakes on a Plane” is a bad movie, but it’s not a typical bad movie. I like watching “Snakes on a Plane” because it's unapologetically ridiculous and wickedly entertaining. It’s a “so bad it’s good” mo
40 years later, James Cameron's 'Aliens' still beats Ridley Scott’s original. I said what I said (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1986, Ellen Ripley teamed up with the Colonial Marines to fight terrifying extraterrestrial creatures in “Aliens.” Written and directed by James Cameron, “Aliens” is the sci-fi sequel to 1979’s “Alien,” Ridley Scott’s groundbreaking horror that first introduced audiences to the Xenomorph that wreaks havoc on the unlucky humans who cross its path. “Aliens,” which celebrates its 40th anniversary in July, is a landmark film. It’s probably not as influential as “Alien,” but Cameron’s entry in the
