Stream it. It’s hard to believe The Conjuring series has come to an end. That’s not to say the series as a whole is over, but the main story that kickstarted that devilish $2.5 billion global gross, including the spinoffs and sequels combined, has. Although it’s known when famous paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren…

Stream it. A nice adult thriller, but loses it’s footing. Relay is the kind of movie that would have been a Gene Hackman or Dustin Hoffman vehicle in 1975. The air tight writing engulfs dark, mysterious characters that only the writer knows like the back of his hand. Pretty surprising considering screenwriter Justin Piasecki’s last…

Stream it: Not bad, not good: Somewhere in the middle. It would appear that rashomon style of story telling is making a resurgence. The term was coined (and used) because of the 1950 Akira Kurosawa film of the same name. In the movie, a horrific event takes place and the audience views the event through…

Ever since last year’s smash surprise hit The Substance rocked theaters and award ceremonies with its artistic photography, well-crafted actors in self-aware roles combined with killer body-horror-gross-out effects, everyone in Hollywood has been eager to jump on the train. I get it: Why not have fun while making a movie?…

Watch this ASAP (it’s streaming on Netflix) OK, so what exactly are you thinking this will be? I’ve read a lot of reviews (mostly mixed), but honestly, what were you expecting to see? Go ahead, send me your DM’s. I wanna know. Because Happy Gilmore 2 is literally everything I expected, wanted, and craved in…

Stream it. The dating scene is just so crap. It really is. You go out, wear nice clothes, pretend to put on a show, talk about yourself to someone who you may not even like by the end of the night. The best thing that could happen is you wind up with someone who’ll likely…

The COVID-19 crisis hit the whole world like a sledgehammer to a Lego set. No one knew what was going on. Chaos was almost immediate and the whole world was scared. We all were convinced we were experts, but we only just heard of these experts and why do we care if the neighbor who…
