For years, countries like China, India, and Japan have been producing top-tier films for both local and international audiences. From horror to drama, there is no shortage of great Asian movies to watch.

However, the decade was also punctuated by an emphasis on intelligent thrillers to the point that even IMDb was rather confused about the true borders between horror and thriller films.

The 2001 original spawned three sequels. While the second is one of the greatest films of all time, the 3rd and 4th have been met with far more hostility. Across the four-film nine-year franchise, they bump into their fair share of continuity errors....
Agnès Varda died on March 29th at the ripe old age of 90, leaving behind a formidable filmography spanning six decades. Known affectionately as the “grandmother of the New Wave,” she was a pioneer in the creation of a truly female cinematic language and voice.

Because while it may not factor into the story very much, it gives the audience a more fleshed out world that’s easier to invest in. This is especially pertinent for science-fiction, since the genre is rooted in what humans can achieve as opposed to what they can’t. So when we get something like the economy in Total Recall, it’s hard to take seriously....
