‘Bullet Train’ Review: Derailed by dumb jokes

<p>There’s a lot to love about a train movie. Though planes and boats are inherently more cinematic from the exterior (and why would they not be?), trains have a few key things that make them worthwhile. For one, their journeys are longer, even if it’s a runaway train, but still propulsive. They’re segmented into cars, each with its unique environment, which is a far cry from the static nature of the passenger plane’s interior. They derail real nice, as well: […]</p>

‘Prey’ Review: The ‘Predator’ franchise, reinvigorated

<p>Unlike some other genre-film heads, I’ve never believed it was impossible to make a good sequel to Predator. Arguments against that statement typically hinge on the force of personalities involved– indeed, none of the four films released since John McTiernan’s classic hit screens in 1987 have had a ragtag group of leads as solid as the combo of Schwarzenegger, Weathers, Ventura, Duke, and Black, among all.
