When you wish upon a star

After 11 years, Puss is back. (Spoilers)

The plot of Puss In Boots: The Last Wish kicks off when the title character (Antonio Banderas), a dashing feline who laughs in the face of death, discovers that he’s blown through eight of his nine lives. So yeah, a children’s movie about coming to terms with your mortality. Brace yourself, because if you thought Shrek (Mike Meyers) It’s a Wonderful Life-ing got dark, you ain’t seen anything yet.

A Child’s Plaything Part 2

**A review of Chucky season 2. (Spoilers)(NSFW)**

After a brief prologue, season two of Chucky picks up six months after the last season left off. Jake Wheeler (Zackary Arthur) has moved away with a new foster family, though he and Devon Evans (Björgvin Arnarson) decide to keep in touch after a steamy goodbye.

Prepare to be triggered (Spoilers)

Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch) is a photo editor and wannabe journalist who fakes going on a Paris trip to impress influencer Colin (Dylan O’Brien). Except when the city’s attacked, Danni pretends to be a victim and rides the newfound notoriety to internet fame. The film opens with her being the most hated person on the planet, probably because the truth being revealed is a forgone conclusion.

Buzz Lightyear (Chris Evans) of Star Command is on an exploration vessel that decides to check out an unknown planet to see if the locale lifeforms are hostile.

So much so that when making an emergency evacuation, Buzz disregards the warnings of his autopilot and insists that he won’t crash. And he ends up crashing, stranding everyone on the planet.

Peele’s third film is out of this world. (ba-dum-tis) (Massive Spoilers)

Halloween might be over, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop watching scary movies. Here’s a review that I’ve had on the back burner for a while but haven’t gotten around to publishing until now. The film I’ll be going over is Nope, our third helping of horror from Jordan Peele—unless you count Candyman (2021). I’m not because he was only a scriptwriter on that movie.

This is the end

Or is it? (Almost certainly not)(Massive Spoilers)

Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) is a young man living in Haddonfield who accidentally kills the kid he’s babysitting on Halloween. After Micheal Meyers (James Jude Courtney) escaped at the end of the last movie, Haddonfield takes their collective grief and rage out on Corey, turning him into the town pariah. However, one bright spot in his life is that he ends up starting a romance with Allyson Strode (Andi Matichak).

Where’s Conan?

These past two months have been good for horror (Massive Spoilers)

Barbarian is one of several surprise horror hits this Halloween season, alongside Smile and Terrifier 2.

It’s All Hallows’ Eve and a violent lunatic named Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton in his film debut) has a whole garbage bag full of violent instruments with which to murder people with. And murder them he does. Two of the people he ends up setting his sights on our friends Tara Hayes (Jenna Kanell) and Dawn (Catherine Corcoran).
