Best of this; top 20 that; breakthrough the other. At some point in our ever-comprehensive year-end coverage, especially after a pretty great movie year like this one, we simply get sick and tired of scanning our thesauruses for synonyms for “awesome.” And when that happens, we like to aggregate a list of splat-rated films, bloated follies and our own personal loathe objects, and hate-watch the shit out of them in preparation for this feature, which serves as the Kylo Ren to our Best of 2017’s Jyn Erso, or maybe the poop emoji to the rest of our coverage’s thumbs-up smiley face.

“You haven’t lived until you’ve died:” oxymoron or an admittedly great tagline for what is an unnecessary, possibly terrible sequel? Either way, the new trailer for “Flatliners” hints at a sense of imagination that its predecessor lacked, if only in the film’s marketing.

I’m no scientist, but it seems to me that if you experiment with the line between life and death, there’s going to be some repercussions. Well, some attractive, rebellious science types learn that the hard way in “Flatliners.”

The remake of the 1990 horror movie that everyone is suddenly nostalgic for, brings together Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton and Kiersey Clemons for the chilling tale of paranormal freakiness.

Since directing the immensely popular “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” in 2009, director Niels Arden Oplev hasn’t been hitting the big screen that much aside from the largely panned “Dead Man Down.” Instead, he’s been cutting his teeth across the television landscape with popular series’ such as “Mr. Robot” and genre fare like “Under the Dome.” That’s about to change with his latest film “Flatliners,” a somewhat odd choice for his first film since 2013 but one that he’s acquired quite a cast for.

LAS VEGAS – The big showstopper from Sony Pictures’ CinemaCon presentation was supposed to be a sneak peek of “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” And, yes, the new Peter Parker himself, Tom Holland, director Jon Waitts along with producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal were on hand to introduce footage, but it turned out to be the same trailer you will likely already have seen by the time you read this story.

There are few genres as enduringly popular — and profitable — as the horror flick. Superheroes and disaster movies and spy actioners and movies based on a holiday featuring Julia Roberts as part of an ensemble cast come and go, but since the silent era, people have consistently liked to go to the movies to have the shit scared out of them.

“The Dark Tower” starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey will now open on July 28, 2017, taking over the release date previously held by “Jumanji” which will now hit cinemas on December 22, 2017.

While I was surely aware that a “Flatliners” remake has been brewing, of the movie projects that are in development it was far from the most compelling, but somewhere along the way, this redo got interesting. It has assembled a pretty strong ensemble including Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton and Kiersey Clemens, and in perhaps the most intriguing twist, a cast member from the 1990 original is coming back.
