Incredibles 2 is The Family Reunion You’ve Been Waiting For (Review)
If there’s one sequel audiences have been clamoring for years, it’s one for 2004’s The Incredibles. Regarded as one of Pixar’s best films, it was met with high praise for its animation, story, and cast of memorable superheroes; it also happened to come out before the...
Hereditary is Brilliant & Deliberate With its Slow Crushing Suspense (Review)
This week I saw Hereditary, a new horror film that I’d heard very good things about. It had been compared to The Witch (one of my very favorite horror films) and was supposed to be this decade’s The Exorcist. The trailer didn’t make Hereditary look like much but...
Hereditary Inflicts Emotional Terror and Cements Itself as an Instant Horror Classic (Review)
It is very easy to see why Hereditary had an incredible amount of buzz after this year's Sundance. New director Ari Aster comes onto the scene and has one of the most confident horror visions and well-crafted screenplays EVER. Not just in the past 10 years, but of all...
Hotel Artemis is Fun, But Never Takes The Step Towards Greatness (Review)
Sometimes you go see a movie that is entertaining, but the entire time you're watching it you just know that you'll forget about it in a few days. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but that movie usually falls into the "I'd watch it if it was on Netflix"...

Action Point Looks Like it Was More Fun to Make Than it Was to Watch (Review)
I wasn’t paying attention when I saw the trailers for Action Point. If I had, I would have seen that it was made by Johnny Knoxville, co-creator and star of Jackass and that might have helped me make a more informed decision. But I missed that and really didn’t want...

Solo: A Star Wars Story is One of The Strongest in a Franchise That Keeps Getting Better (Review)
2018 keeps delivering. This week it was Solo: A Star Wars Story. I had my doubts about whether Disney could deliver its promised one Star Wars movie per year. I thought maybe the quality might start to slip or something but it feels like the opposite is true. The...
Ron Howard Defies the Odds with Solo: A Star Wars Story (Review)
The famed smuggler, scoundrel and hero Han Solo once said long ago in a galaxy far away to, “Never tell me the odds.” I can only imagine that was the same thing director Ron Howard kept telling himself when he was brought on board for Solo: A Star Wars Story after...
