Trolls Band Together Review

I remeber when the first Trolls movie came out I was a little curious as to see how it would turn out. The thought of making a movie about Trolls seemed weird but boy was I wrong. The story had a lot of heart and humor in it that it became of one my family’s…

Rudy 30th Anniversary Review

Rudy is one of those movies that I stop what I am doing whenever it is on television. No matter how many times I watch it I always tear up when he runs out on the field in full gear. Yep, even after its release 30 years ago I still get teary-eyed watching Sean Astin…

Five Nights at Freddy’s Review

Growing up there were two pizza places that you wanted to have your birthday party at: Showbiz Pizza Place and Chuck E. Cheese. While the arcade games were always fun to play the big draw were the characters themselves. Seeing the band pop up from behind the curtain and perform a song was always a…

Killers of the Flower Moon Review

America does not have a pretty past. We know that the people who came to this country slowly started taking advantage of the Natives who lived here by taking their land and eventually their lives by giving them diseased blankets. While this is just a small speck of the horrors that were done to them,…
