I love when a movie delivers on exactly what you need/want it to be. For Abigail, I was looking forward to a gory, fun vampire romp and I got exactly that. So, for my money, it’s one of the year’s best flicks so far. For those unfamiliar, Abigail is directed by the team of Matt …

Review: Civil War
I’m not going to lie. I was a little nervous about Civil War. After years of hearing that “this is where we’re headed” and “everyone knows which side would win” and blah blah blah, scary, scary, scary, I was afraid this might be a bit exploitative. The timing just seemed off to be making a …
Review: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Legendary’s Monsterverse since the very beginning. There are parts of this franchise that I absolutely love and then decisions I can’t even begin to fathom how they were made. I want to have fun and laugh at the stupidity the way I would a Fast & Furious, but they’re …
Review: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has to be one of the most studio mandated movies I’ve seen in my entire life. You know how Sony is pumping out Spider-Man spinoffs not for the love of the characters or the art of cinema, but simply so their rights to use those characters doesn’t expire. At the end of …

Dyl’s Favorite Movies of 2022
Helllo everyone! Welcome to the biggest night in show business. Forget the Oscars. Forget the Golden Globes (already done, amirite). And forget the SAGs. That’s right. It’s time for Dylan’s Top Ten list!!! Honestly, this has been a pretty good year. Making the Top 10 list was extremely tough. There were a lot of movies …
Review: Missing
Missing (2023) Directors: Nick Johnson and Will Merrick Starring: Storm Reid, Joaquim de Almeida, Ken Leung, Amy Landecker, Daniel Henley, and Nia Long Review: A few years ago, a new genre of found footage was invented. The “watch a computer monitor” genre for lack of a better phrase. Essentially, you are experiencing a screen recording …
Review: Plane
Plane (2023) Director: Jean-Francois Richet Starring: Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, Yoson An, and Tony Goldwyn Review: Let’s take bets. In six months, will I remember that I saw this movie? Because I honestly don’t think I will. There is absolutely nothing about this that makes it stick out in any way. Heck, even the title …
Review: M3GAN
M3GAN (2022) Director: Gerard Johnstone Starring: Allison Williams, Jenna Davis, and Violet McGraw Review: January is not supposed to be a good month for movies. Anyone who keeps track of movie release dates and box office numbers knows that the first month of the year is where studios dump their weakest films. Movies that otherwise …
