    Answering the Call with the Black Phone 2

    Black Phone was one of the best horror movies I saw in 2022. From the concept alone, I was excited about it and wanted to see it. The movie was not only incredible but also put Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw on my radar. Their performances were amazing, and little did I know we would…

    Only the Strongest Survive in Predator: Killer of Killers

    Animated spin-offs of established franchises are a great way to expand the audience’s knowledge and introduce new characters and worlds. We have seen this work with the Spider-Verse movies and the expanded Star Wars Universe in Clone Wars, Rebels, and the Tales of series. Predator: Killer of Killers follows this trend and gives the audience…

    Bring Her Back will keep you awake at night

    Bring Her Back is a messed-up look at loss that keeps you glued to your seat. Sally Hawkins is fantastic, nurturing, horrifying, and steals the scenes she is in.

    Red One Review

    Christmas movies usually have one thing in common: there is a character that has lost their way or “Christmas Spirit”. Throughout the movie, we see this character being shown images from their past, shown people in the Christmas spirit, and by the end of the movie they have found their way again. Red One is…

  • Venom: The Last Dance

    Venom: The Last Dance

    I remember when Venom was first introduced in the comics. This character was just so awesome that you felt conflicted about liking him. Eddie Brock was a bit of a jerk but once he connected with the symbiote and became Venom, you started looking at him differently. In Spider-Man 3, which came out in 2007,…
