Dateline: 1988. I was a 12 - year old kid growing up in the quaint, even sleepy town of Abbeville, LA.

AMC has come through each year with a great lineup of horror movies, and this year is no different.

I don't care how old, or young you are. You've almost certainly seen "Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory." It's one of those timeless classics, like "The Wizard of Oz." It took some persuasion to land Gene Wilder in the title role...

About a year ago, my longtime friend & colleague, Debbie Ray, and I were having a conversation about the Deepwater Horizon disaster. I commented, "I just can just imagine what that was like for the people on that rig." She replied, "No, you can't."

Deadpool is not for kids. At all. YMMV, though, and I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your children.

All summer movie seasons end with a whimper and 2015 was no different. The final weekend of August was a pretty sad display across the board, with Straight Outta Compton nabbing the number one spot by default while just about every new release faltered. You know it’s a slow weekend when a movie promoted exclusively to faith-based audiences nabs the number two spot.

Lafayette will host its first comic book convention when the Louisiana Comic Convention comes to the Cajundome Convention Center in October.

Character faces painted on faces. Cute!

The major motion picture 'The Free State of Jones' will be filming in Washington, La on Monday, and paid background actors are being sought for the shoot.

Everything that goes wrong in Poltergeist stems from an act of desecration; the building of a cookie-cutter housing development on top of an old cemetery. Some might find the sheer act of attempting a remake of Poltergeist similarly disrespectful; the 1982 original is something of a masterpiece of suburban terror. But if viewers can look past the sheer audacity of attempting another Poltergeist, they’ll find a solid modernization, the cinematic equivalent of a decent cover version of a great rock song. It’s totally superfluous, and not nearly as satisfying as the original, but well-performed and effective in its own way. It’s nice (or, in this case, deeply unsettling) to revisit an old classic in a new arrangement.

In one of the strongest box office weekends of 2015 so far, both Home and Get Hard opened strong while Insurgent and Cinderella continued to perform well. This was the rare weekend that literally offered something for everyone, with R-rated comedies and animated family fare exceeding expectations.

Since Michael Bay decided to make Transformers: Age of Extinction his last directorial outing with the franchise, it’s been unclear just where the series is heading. We’d heard talk of Mark Wahlberg returning to continue the storyline that began with last summer’s film, but little else since then. Taking a cue from Disney’s Star Wars plans (along with every other major studio’s “expanded universe” attempts), Paramount has hired Akiva Goldsman to create a “writers room” and brainstorm new sequel and spinoff ideas.

Three new movies hit theaters this week: the sequel to a beloved '90s comedy, a romantic drama and a piece of big-time Oscar bait. Choose wisely!
