Evil Dead Rise Review
I remember watching the first Evil Dead movie at home with my family. I was 8 years old and my father had rented it from the local video store. I was excited to see it but also nervous because I remember how spooky the image on the VHS box looked. Once the movie got into…

Showing Up Review
Growing up I was enamored with the artist lifestyle. I wanted to be a photographer and a writer and after high school, I went to Columbia College. Columbia was/is the school for those wanting to go into arts. During my time there I met musicians, artists, writers, and those who had the same dream as…

Mafia Mamma Review
When I first saw the trailer for Mafia Mamma the first thing that came to mind was the 1999 movie Mickey Blue Eyes. That movie revolved around an art dealer who finds out that his girlfriend’s father is a mob boss and how he gets entangled in their business while trying to get married. Mafia…

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Review
Super Mario has been a part of my life since I played the Mario Bros arcade machine. I remember spending a good amount of quarters playing that game. When Mario and Luigi finally came home on the Nintendo Entertainment System I would have to go to my friend’s house to play the game. I never…

Enys Men Review
Earlier this year the horror film Skinamarink showed that not all horror movies need to have a psychotic killer or blood splashed everywhere to scare the audience.

John Wick Chapter 4 Review
Growing up my father always took us to see the latest action movies in the theaters. Whether it was Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson, or Sylvester Stallone, we were there to see what action these guys would get into. As the actors changed and the movies got more exaggerated we slowly stopped going and would just…

Boston Strangler Review
In the vein of great investigative dramas like Zodiac, All The President’s Men, and Spotlight, Boston Strangler shows us how the reporters working behind the newsdesk are able to break the story and assist the police in catching the killer. What makes Boston Strangler different is that this story is about Loretta McLaughlin and Jean…

Creed III Review
Confession time: I have not seen the previous Creed movies. I watched half of the first one, and bought parts 1 and 2, but have never had the time to sit down and watch them. This was corrected after I watched Creed III in IMAX earlier this week. I will say that while it is…

Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania Review
As a parent, our time is limited compared to that of our children. We spend too many hours at work. We spend too many hours driving our kids from one activity to another and then the day ends and pretty much repeats throughout the month. It’s only when we sit down and take a moment…
