    Night Swim Review

    In 2014 Rod Blackhurst and Bryce McGuire released a short film called Night Swim that showed a young woman swimming in her pool. The short lasts about 4 minutes and scares you by showing how helpless you are in a pool when there is no one around. If you have a moment search for the…

    Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Review

    When we last saw Aquaman he was face down in a puddle of water after having one too many drinks in The Flash. This scene did not give us any hints of what was to come for Arthur Curry but it at least let us know that in some form he was still around the…

    Wonka Review

    Just to be honest, Gene Wilder is my Willy Wonka. I grew up watching him perform this role and always loved watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory whenever it was on the television. While he will always be my Wonka I know that people might enjoy the other version of Wonka and that is…

    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…

    Pencils vs Pixels Review

    As a fan of animation watching Pencils vs Pixels not only brings about a feeling of nostalgia but also a feeling of awe. I grew up with 2D hand-drawn animation. Going to see the latest Disney movie at the theater was an experience on its own. Sitting there in the dark and getting lost in…
