Nosferatu, Dracula, Edward Cullen. These are some of the most popular figures that come up when talking about vampires. “What We Do In the Shadows” turns the classic image of vampires on its head and replaces it with the quirky lives of Viago (Taika Waititi, “Green Lantern”), Deacon (Jonathan Brugh, “How to Meet Girls from a Distance”) and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement, “Flight of the Conchords”). Clement and Waititi, who play Vladislav and Viago respectively, direct, write and star in this hilariously clever film.

It tries to do too much at once and ends up accomplishing nothing at all.

When Roger Ebert announced his leave of presence from his website on April 2, 2013, no one expected that would be his last entry. At that point, the production for “Life Itself” had barely started and filming was still in its initial stages.

Aliens versus humans. A conflict that is the basis of so many movies that making another would be like beating a dead horse. If so, ”Edge of Tomorrow” is beating that horse a hundred more times, then bringing it back to life.

Few movie franchises are as well-known as Godzilla. That being said, going into a Godzilla movie comes with a few expectations. Lots of action, lots of nonsensical dialogue and monsters. Lots and lots of monsters.
