April Fool’s Day
Over the top, cliched, melodramatic, and often poorly acted, both the original April Fool’s day in 1986 and the 2008 “remake” have their issues. However, they still prove to be fun viewing, especially if you watch them in theme with the day. So, if you’re looking for something mindlessly fun to watch this April 1st, either April Fool’s Day fits the bill.
DetailsWestworld
It’s the sci-fi twist on a concept that the fantasy genre has long thrived on—the escapism, the promise of more—and it’s laid out beautifully in the film’s plot. Westworld draws the audience in with a desirable catharsis, enticing us with the endlessness of the story’s possibilities and encouraging us to give all of ourselves over.
DetailsColor out of Space
Richard Stanley’s Color out of Space drops Nicholas Cage into the world of H.P. Lovecraft and takes viewers on a wild ride.
DetailsRadioactive Dreams
Doubtlessly, most of you have never heard of Radioactive Dreams, but it definitely fits the “so bad, it’s good” category. It is a wacky post-apocalyptic movie that is pure 80s! Even though it’s next to impossible to find, if you like fun, weird post-apocalyptic movies, you should seek this one out.
DetailsThe Hunt
Blumhouse’s new movie follows an elite group of rich liberals who kidnap and hunt to kill people they deem as “deplorables.” Modeled after the story from The Most Dangerous Game, this movie is a blast to watch.

DetailsThe Invisible Man
Smart, socially relevant and most of all, truly frightening, The Invisible Man captures the terrors of what made this character a horror icon while putting a fresh spin on the material to tell a story that is simply captivating.
DetailsSonic the Hedgehog
While Sonic made a couple of changes for the sake of the storyline, the movie stuck to the pure fun of the games.

Superheroes allow us to see what we care about most in the world. They help us come to terms with the human experience and the results are in: the human experience is love.

The most famous couple in all of Marvel Comics is surely Spider-Man and Mary Jane. Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman are close runners up, but Spidey and MJ’s only true competition in comics would be DC’s first couple, Superman and Lois Lane. Thanks to those Toby Maguire movies and that famous upside-down kiss, though, I think this pair is advancing even on Lois and Clark.
