Friday the 13th is here, and with it comes superstition, Halloween treats, and a ton of Jason Vorhees memes. While it’s known as a day for bad luck, I have chosen 5 creepy horror films to watch with friends and make this Friday the 13th a little better. In no specific order, here are my… Continue Reading
It Chapter 2: Darker, Bloated Continuation Kept Afloat by Great Scares and Performances
4 out of 5 stars (One of the best of the year) Note: It Chapter 2 opens with a gory homophobic hate crime and contains scenes and discussion of suicide, domestic abuse, and alcoholism.

He isn’t exploring any deep themes, giving us nuanced characters, or making a statement about old Hollywood. With this film Tarantino has gotten many of his previous collaborators together… Continue Reading
Lion King 2019: The King Has Returned in Darker, Photorealistic Remake
4.5 out of 5 stars (one of the best of the year) The original Lion King changed the game for Disney with its Shakespearean-inspired story, beautiful animation, and catchy songs that are still loved today. So naturally, Disney chose to remake it using photorealistic animation (Meaning the lions and environments look like real lions and environments). … Continue Reading
