Black Phone was a pretty good horror suspense/thriller type of movie, but boy oh boy, Black Phone 2 here completely shit the bed. If there was ever an excuse for a cash grab, this would be it. After having watched the sequel, I’m wondering why this was even needed. What could this movie bring to…

The Astronaut I think is another one of those movies that exists but one that makes movie viewers, especially viewers who have watched a lot of movies in their lifetime, question just why the movie existed in the first place and how it got to be. I usually think these types of things during the…

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt is a coming-of-age fiction novel that won the Pulitzer Prize in 2014. It’s a wonderful novel but one that requires patience, being that it is over 700 pages long. It explores the grief and sadness of a young boy as he is forced to grow up having lost his mother…

YAASOMWMOMNN – Yet Another Alien Series or Movie We May or May Not Need. This is what I always think first when I see anything regarding this franchise.

From what I remember, it was serviceable for fans and, regardless, these movies are just plain ol’ wacky, over…

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon chronicles a journalist’s exclusive one-year police “internship” in 1988, within Baltimore’s homicide investigative department. This is truly a remarkable piece of journalism. It’s hard and gritty, something you’d obviously expect coming into the book, but the author makes reading all six hundred pages a breeze.…

This was a pretty good series. It’s always fun to watch a cat and mouse game between either a serial killer/assassin and a detective or FBI agent hellbent on catching them. In the series, however, I did wish there were just a bit more “close encounters” between The Jackal and Bianca. It was still exciting…

What are we doing here, folks? Like seriously, what the hell is going on here? One of the most anticipated horror releases in the horror film community, and we get… this. Let’s be real here. 28 Days Later was ahead of its time. It obviously wasn’t for everyone, but it set up the franchise with…
