Pamela Anderson makes a triumphant return to the screen with The Last Showgirl , her first film in nearly a decade, and one that often rests squarely on her shoulders. It’s a role that demands quite a bit from her, and she more than rises to the challenge, delivering a performance that has earned well-deserved awards buzz and caught a jaded industry by surprise.  The film takes place in Las Vegas over a period of two weeks as a long-running showgirl revue is slated to close, making way for something new and fresh. It’s the last show of its kind on the strip, now outdated and irrelevant. At the center of our story is Shelly (Anderson), a dancer who has been with the review for decades. She’s become a surrogate mother to the younger girls (Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka), but she has an estranged daughter of her own (Billie Lourd) that she’s trying to patch things up with. Shelly’s closest friend and mentor is Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), a former showgirl who aged out of the revue six y...

Bryan Bertino’s The Monster is a fantastically-fun monster movie in a genre that is  filled to the brim with questionable offerings. Bertino has a command of his writing and director  skills like few in the industry manage. He is the total package when it comes to what he seeks to  do. Many will remember his incredibly effective and terrifyingly-chilling movie The  Strangers from 2008. The Monster is no less spectacular and tension-filled. This is a little movie  that hits every bullseye it aims at. The film is a study in tension and the unknown. It is  fantastically acted with brilliant practical effects. This is a film that feels more like a late 70’s or  80’s movie that deals with contemporary issues. The film is gorgeous and makes use of powerful  storytelling. This is more than a terror-driven story. It is a story of the inner workings of the  human heart. I love it when a horror movie transcends the genre into something more than j...

The fantasy genre is often overlooked in cinema. Of course, we have huge stories like The Lord  of the Rings. However, for the most part, fantasy remains the least used genre. In recent years, Game of  Thrones broke down the doors to many possibilities, yet fantasy still remains firmly on the fringe. One must certainly consider that many movies have fantasy elements, but in general, those elements are rarely acknowledged. After all, what are Freddy Kruger and Jason? They are horror icons to be sure, but they could not gain this status without the use of fantasy. When thinking about this genre, I generally find myself nostalgic for films like Conan the  Barbarian, Red Sonja, Dragonslayer, Willow, or even something like Ralph Bakshi’s Fire and  Ice. Most of these film types hail solidly from the ’80s and have a tremendous following. I am one of those devotees, and I often think modern fantasy is deficient in fundamental ways. The films of yesteryear did lack bi...
