If you used to buy movies at the mall, it’s a lock you did your shopping at once place: Suncoast Motion Picture Company. Informally known as Suncoast Video to most of its customers, the chain was ubiquitous in malls all over the United States in the 1990s. The stores stocked hundreds of titles on VHS and later on DVD. They also sold music, and various movie and pop-culture related toys and collectibles. All the stores had the same distinctive red neon sign hanging over the entrance. If you grew up loving movies in the ’90s, just that logo alone will probably make you nostalgic. I worked in a m...

It’s almost showtime for the new Beetlejuicesequel. Cleverly titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the film finally continues the story of Tim Burton’s classic 1988 horror comedy. Decades of development has led to this continuation, directed by Burton and starring three of the original film’s stars: Winona Ryder as Lydia, Catherine O’Hara as Delia, and Michael Keaton as the ghost with the most, Beetlejuice himself. The trailer does a reasonably good job of explaining how Beetlejuice finally returns after being dispatched by Lydia and her ghostly pals, the Maitlands, at the end of the first film more...

There are bombs, and then there are bombs like Madame Web, a movie so bad it not only got an 11 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and it is not only Sony’s lowest-grossing Marvel movie by a margin of $60 million, its own star made it very clear she did not care for her own movie while she was supposed to be promoting it during the film’s press tour. That would be Dakota Johnson, who plays the title character. Johnson fired her agents shortly after Madame Web’s trailer premiered — never a great sign! — and then during its press tour she was about as candid about the final product as you’ll ever see f...

He will not return to direct the next kaiju blockbuster in the series. Work has already begun on the movie’s screenplay. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wingard and Legendary’s split was “amicable” and was mostly due to Wingard turning his attention to another project outside the MonsterVerse; an original genre movie called Onslaught that A24 is planning to release in the fall.

Hardcore fans of Disneyland love the park, but they dream for years about going to one specific place: Club 33. The exclusive establishment, first built into the New Orleans Square section of Disneyland in 1967, can only be accessed by paying members and their guests. And membership isn’t cheap; it supposedly costs thousands of dollars a year after an initial membership fee of more than $50,000, according to the Club 33 Wikipedia page. Although Club 33 is fairly obscure outside the world of Disney maniacs, the company is now developing a movie loosely based on the club.Goosebumps screenwriter ...
