2.5 out of 5 stars (Decent) I have always been a casual Star Wars fan. Outside of Solo, I enjoyed the movies well enough and have dabbled in some of the games and shows, but I don’t have a deep connection with this franchise others do. As a casual fan, I found Star Wars: The… Continue Reading
Black Christmas: Horror Remake Will Scare Audiences Away
2 out of 5 stars (Has some good moments, but is overall bad) Note: Black Christmas is about sexual assault on college campuses. If that subject is uncomfortable for you, I advise skipping this film.

The Addams Family: Morbidly Humored Reboot a Kooky Good Time

Not since Kangaroo Jack has a movie been so confused about who its audience is, containing jokes about inbreeding, disassociation, and other things you don’t want to explain to… Continue Reading
Dirty Grandpa”: Raunchy Road Comedy A Rancid Misfire, Despite Good Chemistry Between Leads
0 out of 5 stars Dirty Grandpa represents the end of an era. This era should have ended about 10 years ago, but, like Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, Twinkies, and teen romance adaptations, it somehow survived based on name value and pure curiosity. I am sadly referring to the era known as Robert De Niro’s… Continue Reading
