Often times, horror movie posters turn out to be better than the films they’re selling. While we’re just as ready as the next folks to admit that some of our all-time favorites come from the horror section, it seems fair to say that the vast majority are very poor. That’s certainly what struck us while [...]

Those movie-going environmentalists over at TreeHugger have compiled a helpful listicle that could just as easily read “Top 5 Food Movies of 2008.” For the year that saw the new localism go global (”glocalism”?) and widespread awareness of what’s at stake in the shifting debates over how we produce and distribute our food, it makes [...]

Creepy kid movie characters have some strange power over our collective imaginary. Maybe it’s the sudden realization that people we typically assume are cute and harmless might actually be vessels of unspeakable evil. Maybe they tap into some subconscious parenting gene in all of us, making us think: “If only I’d been raising him or [...]
