"It's alive," radical scientist Victor Frankenstein (James McAvoy from the X-Men series, where he's known as Professor X) whispers to Igor (Daniel Radcliffe, who hasn't left the dark rooms since Harry Potter) when the monster comes to life. But who is the monster, we ask ourselves when we watch the first trailer for the horror film Victor Frankenstein? Scientist or monster? Is it a noble vision of helping humanity, or is the idea of immortality an obsession with dire consequences?

Is 2016 the year of Leonardo DiCaprio after all?

The Night Before is neither a 1988 movie nor a Beatles song. It is a film coming out at the end of 2015 from the creators who gave us Neighbors and "almost" The Killer Interview, so it should be pretty clear what kind of comedy it is. Especially if we add to that that it stars Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie as a trio of best friends who have spent the last 14 Christmases together. But in the meantime, the boys have grown up and decided that the fifteenth Christmas will be their last together.
