Does Ashley Greene need a new agent? It’s hard to say. On the one hand, of her five widely released movies, four are among the biggest blockbusters of the last decade. On the other hand, those four were the Twilight movies. The fifth is The Apparition, a truly terrible horror movie that earned only $7 million worldwide.

The end of the world is apparently scary enough, because 2012 has been an extremely disappointing year for horror movies. The Woman in Black showed promise, until it didn’t. The Devil Inside made me want to go to hell. Many others failed to deliver, too. V/H/S, on the other hand, manages to buck the trend by teaching you not to have a threesome with a demon.

A boy named Norman sees dead people. He battles an evil witch and a pack of zombies. But Norman isn’t in a horror flick; he’s the main character in the family film ParaNorman, a beautifully crafted and imaginative stop-motion-capture movie that, while far from groundbreaking, is fun to watch.

Your wife has been murdered. Your baby has been kidnapped. And you’re not sure if it’s all in your head, or if demonic children who feed on fear really are responsible for it all.

Abraham Lincoln is often regarded as the greatest president to have served the United States of America. He helped abolish slavery. He sacrificed the lives of many Americans to reunite the north and south. He singlehandedly saved the country from a legion of vampires.

A vintage 1990′s classic made its Blu-ray debut last week. Disney said, “so what?”

Arachnophobia is the best spider movie of all time, and it still stands the test of time. Yes, it’s a bit goofy, a bit cheesy, but even still it makes you want to check that popcorn before you stick your hand in the bowl and the shower faucet in the morning. As silly as it is – John Goodman plays a wisecracking exterminator – the movie lives up to its name.

Paramount Pictures has released a new movie trailer for Paranormal Activity 4, which has the possessed chick and her kidnapped nephew (if I remember correctly) wreaking havoc on a teenage girl who lives nearby. Plot is really immaterial as you know what you’re going to get, but I still find these movies at least a little exhilarating, even if they are predictable.

Uh, yeah, that just happened. Paramount Pictures just released the first look movie trailer for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, which stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the title characters who, after burning that sweet old gingerbread house witch alive, got a taste for witch blood and became supernatural bounty hunters.

Though the service has gotten hammered over the last couple years, it still has a rich database of streaming movies as long as you’re willing to reach into the past. Here are a few movies and television shows that caught my eye…
