John Wick 3: Parabellum is One of The Best Action Films of The Past Decade, Maybe Ever (Review)
Guns.... Lots of guns.... It's so awesome to hear Keanu Reeves utter that iconic line again. First hearing it back in 1999's Sci-Fi classic The Matrix, it appears not too much has changed with Reeves as he continues to be a huge action star. John Wick 3 is the third...
Pokemon Detective Pikachu is Visually Rich & Highly Entertaining (Review)
For those Pokemon fans out there, I apologize. I’m the worst possible person to review Pokemon Detective Pikachu. I know nothing about Pokemon and that’s going to show with every sentence in this review. Literally I’ve only heard the word and know that there was some...

Long Shot is a Consistently Hilarious Instant Classic (Review)
Long Shot is 2019's first comedy hit. Not only is it a hit in 2019, but it'll go down as one of the best comedies of the 2000s. Overall, it is a pleasant surprise that'll make you cry from laughing in one scene, and then be surprisingly touching in another. Who knew...
The Curse of La Llorona Cares about Story, Characters & That Depth of Emotional Investment Pays Dividends (Review)
This week I saw The Curse of La Llorona. There wasn’t a lot of hype over this one; the trailers played for a few weeks beforehand and then here it is, sandwiched in the week between Hellboy and that new Avengers movie. I wasn’t that excited and it looked like nobody...
Hellboy is Beautifully Gruesome & David Harbour is Excellent (Review)
I’ve been looking forward to a new Hellboy since I first heard about it. I was a humongous fan of the original two Hellboys (and also director Guillermo del Toro) and even though he wasn’t directing this latest reboot, it looked like it was going to be awesome. Then...

Pet Sematary is Legitimately, Unrelentingly Terrifying (Review)
God I love Stephen King. I’ve been looking forward to Pet Sematary since I saw the trailer. I’ve never read the book but I saw the 1989 movie, which would be handy for comparison if I could remember anything about it. Sadly, that was 25+ years ago so all I remember...
