You couldn’t set Speed in Boston, there’s no stretch of road that an MBTA bus would ever be on where it could possibly reach 50 mph

After #PredatorBadlands, Dan Trachtenberg is now three-for-three with Predator movies. Don't let the PG-13 rating fool you, this movie kicks as much ass as the rest. (And Elle Fanning's agent must be fielding a LOT of calls now.)

#REC 4: Apocalypse was a solid sendoff to a fun series of zombie movies. It felt like they were running out of ideas and losing the series' identity, but it was still a fun movie that felt like the finale of a Resident Evil game.

The third #REC film is unfortunately the worst of the bunch. It has its moments, but it tries too hard to be "awesome" and falls flat, and I can only recommend it for series completionists and diehard zombie fans.

Now the spooky season really begins. #REC and its sequel are a pair of damn good found footage zombie movies that deserve the hype, filled with claustrophobic terror and a neat twist on the zombie movie formula.

Starting the spooky season off with the latest Stephen King adaptation, #TheLongWalk. It's not quite a horror movie, but it's still a grueling dystopian thriller that feels like the King version of The Hunger Games in the best way.

A lot of the tech industry’s plutocratic rot isn’t a corruption of the utopian “information wants to be free” ideals of the hacker culture it was built on, but those very ideals taken to their logical conclusion, and that’s a discussion I don’t think a lot of people are ready for.
1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

#UntilDawn was a film I'm glad I waited for Netflix to watch, but enjoyed anyway. The story was garbage and had almost nothing to do with the game, but oddly enough, it captured the feeling of PLAYING a video game really well.

The entire American Conservative political project, from the White House to the FBI and parts of the Army, is currently being run as though a bunch of wrestling fans who DO NOT KNOW the sport is staged took over WWE and started crippling eachother doing hardcore matches UNSCRIPTED.

#KPopDemonHunters is a damn good movie. The plot gets kind of wobbly towards the end, but there's a reason why it took off the way it did. The characters, the visuals, the music, the action, it's all a standout.
