If you’re going to have an Amp House Massacre, first you need to have an Amp House. Mario Stillwell, the biggest YouTube influencer in the world, provides that. Having made millions with his videos, he buys a mansion for himself and Janelle and dubs it Amp House.

Now they, along their entourage of famous for being famous internet celebrities including, Hunter, Tiffany, and Lonnie have a place they can use for filming all their obnoxious videos, of which we see as seemly never ending montage of leading up to a lavish first anniversary party. A party that ends with Mario floating face down in the pool, dead from an overdose. And then another montage of tribute videos following it. This may be the...

I’m not sure what’s more surprising, that I’m reviewing a movie called Death Rider in the House of Vampires or that, after Verotika, somebody put up money for Glenn Danzig to make another movie. But here we are.

As the film opens Death Rider is riding through a desert filled with warning signs and crucified bodies. He leads another horse, with a bound, topless woman on it. She is his entrance fee to Sanctuary, one female virgin. She looks like she probably couldn’t remember when she actually was a virgin but that’s besides the point.

After riding for what seems to be hours and running into some trouble from Bela Latigo he arrives...

Tiffany Haddish is in talks to star in the film adaptation of M.T. Anderson’s “Landscape With Invisible Hands” for MGM, Annapurna and Plan B, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.

The dark, surreal comedy will be written and directed by Cory Finley and will be set in a “deeply stratified, alien future.” This will be one of the announced projects by Plan B as part of their recently signed deal with MGM.

There are a few subgenres to sports movies and TV series. You have the classic underdog story like “Rocky.” There’s also the “coach learns about life from his players” story as we saw recently with the film “The Way Back.” And then, on a more lighthearted path, there’s the “misfit team led by a grouchy coach” story that was classically shown in “The Bad News Bears” and now, the upcoming Netflix series, “Hoops.”

As seen in the new teaser trailer for “Hoops,” the series showcases a hapless team of misfits that are being coached by a foul-mouthed loser that probably shouldn’t be around impressionable children, let alone teaching them things on a basketball court.
