Different, but still pretty good (Spoilers) Since the events of the last film, Gemma Forrester (Allison Williams) has served time in prison after her toy creation M3GAN (Amie Donald, Jenna Davis) went on a killing spree. She somehow retained custody of her niece Cady (Violet McGraw), however, and has also become a proponent of AI …

Tiny Dancer
John Wick-lite done right (Spoilers) Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) is a ballerina, assassin, and bodyguard. When she was a little girl (Victoria Comte), her father Javier (David Castañeda) was killed under the orders of the Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne). After that, she was delivered by New York Continental Hotel Manager Winston Scott (Ian McShane) to …
Ring of Fire
It’s familiar, but well done (Spoilers) After a long hiatus, this new installment shakes things up a bit. Instead of receiving a vision of her death, college student Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) starts receiving visions of the Skyview. It was a high-rise restaurant that collapsed on opening night back in the ’60s. The vision is …
Hello, Frendo
A fine slasher movie (Massive Spoilers) Quinn Maybrook (Katie Douglas) moves to Kettle Springs, Missouri, after her dad (Aaron Abrams) gets a new job as the town doctor. Quinn quickly develops an interest in Cole Hill (Carson MacCormac), the son of corn syrup oligarch Arthur Hill (Kevin Durand). Cole and his friends are on the …
Let The Good Times Roll
Though not as good as I hoped (Spoilers) The Monkey, based on Stephen King’s short story, is about a toy monkey that causes fatal “accidents” after playing an instrument. In the source material, it’s one of those creepy cymbal-banging monkeys, which Disney (somehow) copyrighted after Toy Story 3. So, for the film, the Monkey now …
Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You
A good slasher, but okay rom com (Spoilers) Ally (Olivia Holt) is a career woman with an abysmal love life and on the verge of getting fired. Jay Simmons (Mason Gooding) is a new co-worker who seems more interested in getting Ally to loosen up than his actual job. However, the rom-com setup takes a …
I Only Have Eyes For You
It’s nothing new, but well done (Massive Spoilers) Iris (Sophia Thatcher) visits a remote lake house alongside her boyfriend, Josh (Jack Quaid). The home belongs to Sergey (Rupert Friend), who is one tracksuit away from being a total Russian stereotype. Other people at the lake house are Sergey’s mistress, Kat (Megan Suri), and another couple, …
Defying Gravity
A wonderful adaptation (Spoilers) I’m late to the party, but I’ve finally seen the film adaptation of a musical I love, kind of. It’s just Act One. Anyway, much like the novel and stage show it’s based on, Wicked: Part 1 tells the tale of the Wicked Witch of the West (Cynthia Erivo, Karis Musongole). …
A Family Movie
A funny thriller that’s well done (Spoilers) We’ve got another really spoilery review on our hands, so, as usual, let me start with my conclusion. I would highly recommend watching Lowlifes. The cast’s performances were great, as was the way the movie keeps you guessing. And the best part is that since it’s a Tubi …
Beetlejuice Squared
A fun, but overstuffed sequel Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder), still living under the shadow of Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton), is now the host of a paranormal reality show and the mother of Astrid (Jenna Ortega), a moody teenager from whom Lydia is estranged. Delia (Catherine O’Hara), Lydia’s stepmother, frequently points out the irony. Lydia’s father, Charles …
