So when it came time to put together the ensemble for the 80s-set follow-upX-Men: Apocalypse, of courseEvan Peterswas going to return, and in an expanded role no less....

One year ago, with the 31sta Friday, Halloween weekend saw just two films reach $10 million:OuijaandNightcrawler. This year, Halloween falls on a Saturday. If just one of this weekend’s three new releases was expected to break out that might not be so bad.

The over two-hour movie sets out to follow the life of its titular character, a young woman growing up in the second half of the 20th century in Italy....

It’s hard enough to makeonegreat movie, let alone a sequel to said great movie. More often than not, trying to capture lightning in a bottle twice just doesn’t work out (The Godfather Part IIis a miracle), and in the worst cases, the horrible drop-off in quality can retroactively taint the original film. Which is why most great movies just leave it at that. One and done. There are, however, a number of examples of bad sequels made from genuinely great movies....
