Review: Edgar Wright Reintroduces The World to THE SPARKS BROTHERS
“50 Years. 25 Albums. 345 Songs. Unlimited Genius.“ The tagline of Edgar Wright’s new documentary on the band Sparks is impressive enough to capture the attention of anyone who may not know them. The question is, how could you not be familiar with such an accomplished pair of musicians? That’s the answer Wright seeks to […]

MOVIE REVIEW: THE HITMAN’S WIFE’S BODYGUARD Starring Ryan Reynolds, Salma Hayek, Samuel L. Jackson
Listen, I get why they make a lot of sequels; it’$ not tough to deduce the rea$on. But i think we all can agree that some movies just don’t necessarily warrant a sequel. Either the plot was sufficient to end on a high note or the writers used up their best material in the first, […]

Movie Review: THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT Starring Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga
The Conjuring films have been highly successful and well reviewed for the most part, so the third film should be another strong horror film according to the track record of the first two films.

Movie Review: SPIRIT UNTAMED Starring Isabela Merced, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marsai Martin
Spirit: Untamed looks like something you would find on a kids television channel – which is to say young ones will probably enjoy it perfectly fine, but it is nothing beyond forgettable and disappointing for anyone over 10 or so. When I review a film, I generally base my criticisms on what the film sets […]
Movie Review: A QUIET PLACE PART II Starring Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Cillian Murphy
Rarely does a horror sequel live up to the original. A Quiet Place Part II is one of the exceptions, as the film is just as good as the original. Like the original, the sequel is still very quiet throughout the film and it’s still quite scary. The cast all returns, led by Emily Blunt, […]
Movie Review: Disney’s CRUELLA Starring Emma Stone, Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser
You don’t always need a backstory for a popular big-screen villain. But there are also times where you cant help but wonder – why is this person so evil? In the case of Cruella de Vil – the evil, fur-wearing villain from 101 Dalmations we grew up watching steal puppies to make a fur coat […]
