Halloween is A Terrifying & Timely Return To Form (Review)
In 1978, the horror genre was changed forever when John Carpenter came out with Halloween, but its legacy was followed by a series of sequels and remakes that ranged from watchable (Halloween II, Halloween: H20) to straight-up abysmal (Halloween: Resurrection). But...
Bad Times at The El Royale is Arguably Chris Hemsworth’s Sexiest Movie (Review)
I’ve been wanting to see Bad Times at the El Royale since I saw the trailer. I’m a sucker for films around that time. The decor, the music, the clothes, the cars, I love it all. And you could put Chris Hemsworth on anything and I’ll probably watch it at least once....

Venom is as Lazy & Unforgettable as Comic Book Movies Get (Review)

Smallfoot is Entertaining, Energetic & Has Surprising Depth (Review)
I didn’t have high expectations for Smallfoot. It looked like another animated kid’s movie, which usually means something forgettable. Family/Kid’s movies are easily the most forgiving genres - parents don’t care how good the film is because the kids will like it...

Night School Review: The Amount of Kevin Hart Short Jokes is TOO DAMN HIGH
In the past few years, there have been a solid mix of well-written comedies and the cliche and lazy comedies. Director Malcom D. Lee delivered us Girls Trip in 2017, a refreshing and genuinely funny film. When we found out he was directing a comedy with Kevin Hart in...
