Keep Watching: How ‘Creep’ And ‘Creep 2’ Revitalize Found Footage Horror By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 25, 2017 11:00 am EST The found footage horror film is, for the most part, dead.

The Best Movie Animals Of 2011, Or: Hey Look! Cute Animal Pictures! By Angie Han/Dec. 28, 2011 10:00 am EST Maybe it’s just because I got a cat this year — the first living, breathing creature I’ve owned since I failed to keep a hamster alive circa 1995 — but I couldn’t help noticing that the films of 2011 featured some damn great animals. Some were the stars of their films, like Rango (Johnny Depp) in Rango, while others played second fiddle to less interesting, or at least less adorable, human stars, like Rosie (Tai) in Water for Elephants, but all deserve special mention in my book....
