‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ (the movie) Review

In recent film history, there's been a trend of taking iconic cartoon characters and putting them in the real world through CGI. It's never really resulted in good movies, aside from Bumblebee, although that's mainly because it pulled more from E.T. and The Iron Giant than The Smurfs or Alvin and the Chipmunks. When it … Continue reading ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ (the movie) Review →

Reunion

The ride home was silent, until it wasn’t. “Heh,” Milo said, "I guess you could say there was blood on the dance floor.” Angie wasn’t having it, and neither were the guava pastries from the high school reunion. “You think this is funny?” “I mean, a little bit—” “Well it’s not, Milo! It’s not fucking … Continue reading Reunion →

Another Think-piece About Spider-Man’s Future On Film

EDIT: Well, this post is now irrelevant. That was fast. Chances are if you're reading this you already know about the Sony/Disney Spider-Man kerfuffle. I'm not really interested in going in depth about the big picture legal stuff here, so here's my brief opinion on that stuff: both Disney and Sony are big evil corporations, … Continue reading Another Think-piece About Spider-Man’s Future On Film →

‘Child’s Play’ (2019) Review

Up until a couple of years ago, I was scared of Chucky. I never had a problem with other classic slashers, but Chucky got to me for whatever reason. At some point, the fear became mild discomfort, and my dad encouraged me to watch the original Child's Play during my Halloween movie marathon last year. … Continue reading ‘Child’s Play’ (2019) Review →

‘Brightburn’ (2019) Review

This review contains spoilers for Brightburn. So I really liked Brightburn. It's a good horror movie that does some interesting stuff with the slasher and superhero genres. This is one of the few times where the slasher is also the protagonist, and it makes for a more emotional experience than most of its contemporaries. Brandon … Continue reading ‘Brightburn’ (2019) Review →

‘Hellboy’ (2019) Review

I'm going to try to avoid talking about the Del Toro movies in this review. Wish me luck. The two big selling points for this reboot were 1. being more accurate to the comics and 2. the R rating, and you can kind of tell that's all they cared about when making this movie. I'm … Continue reading ‘Hellboy’ (2019) Review →
