Movie Review – Alpha
—
Alpha blew me away. This movie was amazing. There are a ton of points I want to make, but I’m going to hit upon the ones that I think may sway your decision to go see it, otherwise we’ll be here all day. First up, there is violence against animals. If this bothers you, it…

Movie Review – Slender Man
—
Over a year. Seriously, I have been waiting for this movie for over a year now. With the amount of material available on the internet about Slender Man it should have provided the writers and makers of this movie infinite ideas. The final cut was lacking in almost every aspect. It starts off okay. Not…

The Origin of Slender Man
—
in HorrorI can’t wait to see Slender Man. My adult daughter and I have been hearing stories about “The Slender Man” for years, and my inquiring mind wanted to know more. OriginsBelieve it or not, he isn’t centuries old, being kept alive by generations of families passing down the warnings and stories around a candlelit table. No, this…

Movie Review – Eight Grade
—
Eighth Grade is most definitely going to be enjoyed by its target audience. The trials and tribulations that adolescents go through are very well demonstrated in this movie. The acting was spot on. I can’t think of one person that didn’t bring their best. Most notably, Josh Hamilton. He plays the father, and my heart…

Movie Review – Unfriended: Dark Web
—
Not what I was expecting. At all. I saw the first Unfriended and absolutely hated it. My feet were dragging going into the theater, but coming out I had a happy pep to my step. You are looking at a monitor during the entire movie. Windows and chat boxes fill the screen at all times.…

Movie Review – The First Purge
—
The First Purge was not what I was expecting. I’ll be honest and say that the last two really didn’t appeal to me. Luckily, they took a different approach on this one and it worked much better. I don’t want to give anything away by explaining how they tied the movies together, but I will say…

Movie Review – Uncle Drew
—
Uncle Drew was surprisingly charming. I was ready for a slapstick basketball movie but was surprised with a movie that has substance. There are a lot of touching moments that make you smile with warmth, and also moments that made the crowd slap their sides — they were laughing that hard. It’s got a little…

Movie Review – Gotti
—
This movie was a muddled mess. This biographic piece couldn’t quite pick up steam or really even figure out what it wanted to be. I was waiting for the big moment but there was none. It was just two hours of a lot of names thrown at you, never fully explaining anything. On a positive…

Movie Review – Hereditary
Hereditary wasn’t terrible. I was really on the fence about seeing this movie. The trailers made it look really good but I’ve been burned by that so many times I’ve lost count. I’m not a fan of A24 — the company that released the movie. I haven’t liked a single one of their movies. So…

Movie Review – Action Point
—
I’m a huge Johnny Knoxville fan; I’ve seen every one of his movies at least five times. It kills me to say this, but I probably won’t watch this one again. It lacked in a way that I can’t quite define. I wasn’t all hyped up after this one, and felt a little blah during…
