Dismiss By Monica Dux Save Normal text size Advertisement When my kids were small, they came to expect outbursts of sudden weeping from their mother.

It’s about a boy, Johnny ...

Nearly three decades after its release, Paul W.S. Anderson’s 1995 ‘Mortal Kombat’ is still celebrated among viewers for being one of the best video game adaptations ever. So it’s safe to say that expectations for this new version are pretty high. And while first-time director Simon McQuoid does a great job of updating the film for the modern day, it fails just a tiny bit in reaching the lofty bar set by the original. But the good news first. McQuoid’s ‘Mortal Kombat’ will no doubt...

BlacKkKlansman, Channel 4, 9pm Spike Lee’s 2018 film is based on a 2014 memoir by retired Colorado Springs police officer Ron Stallworth, the first African-American on the city’s force, in which he tells how he infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in the late 1970s. Hence the spellcheck-taxing title. Unsurprisingly given the premise, Lee’s adaptation is a black comedy. Stallworth is played by future Tenet star John David Washington. We first meet him in the early 1970s as he’s reassigned fr...

50 Movies with the Worst Ratings on Rotten Tomatoes By Tom Fish On 4/3/21 at 7:00 AM EDT Rotten Tomatoes is an easy way to check whether a movie deserves two hours of your time. But although movie makers always aim to create a memorable experience, they sometimes release something that attracts attention for all the wrong reasons. Because aggregation review site Rotten Tomatoes allows film fans to provide a Tomatometer rating on every movie, the curious can just as easily discover which flic...

In that first look, Sub-Zero dismembered Jax’s arms using ice magic, Scorpion threw a kunai through the back of an assassin’s skull, and Kano ripped out Reptile’s still-beating heart.

But it seems equally challenging to convince a major studio like Warner Bros. to invest in...

Mortal Kombat is credited with being one of the first games to create backstories and extended universes for its characters and one of the first Western games to feature Asian characters as heroes.
