Shining, shimmering splendid
Well, this was a nice palate cleanser. Now I can go back to watching horror. This movie made my opinion of The Lion King remake sink even further because I see now that film was way more a soulless cash grab than I previously thought. It was virtually a shot-for-shot remake of the original. Say what you …
That giant shadow hanging over the film is from the previous movie
This film feels repetitive in way I don’t remember the novel or miniseries being (Unmarked Spoilers) It: Chapter Two opens with an all too real-life horror. Where Adrian Mellon (Xavier Dolan) becomes the victim of a brutal, homophobic hate crime befalls. Sadly, that’s something that’s just as relevant today as it was in the 1980s when …

What’s your favorite scary tv show?

The title character flies higher than the movie ever does

Here come the Men in Black
Probably for the last time though Agent M (Tessa Thompson) is the latest MIB recruit sent to the London branch, where she learns a lot of amazing things. Like how the Eiffel Tower was the center of one of the first great alien migrations, and its builder was a founder of the Men in Black. …
You’ve got a friend in me
I know I should be mad at them for taking shots at Toy Story, but I thought this one was actually pretty funny Before I go on, I feel the need to say just one thing. Which is that since to some legal mumbo jumbo that I didn’t care enough to research the specifics of, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer …
Hey ho, let’s go…again
I hope you like remakes, because I have a feeling we’re about to get a lot more Normally I’d start my review with a basic outline of what happens before going into my thoughts and feelings. Except, given that the advertising wasn’t exactly shy about telling you what the plot is for both this movie …
