From monster movies of the early years of Hollywood, to the Hitchcock era of psychological thrillers, to the occult and slasher flicks of the 70's and 80's, to the films of today, the horror genre has constantly evolved over the years. Out of all the different styles of horror flicks, the subgenre that I think …
If there is a director that I'm unsure how to feel about, it is M. Night Shyamalan as he has both some fantastic films (The Sixth Sense (1999), Signs (2002), Split (2016)) and some of the worst films I've ever seen (Lady in the Water (2006), The Happening (2008), and what I consider the worst …
Based on Eric Jager's 2004 novel, The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France, Ridley Scott's latest film is an absolute win.

One of my all time favorite IPs in the Disney vault is One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), and I have unironically loved the many 101 television series and …
Note: Slight Spoilers involving what doesn't happen in the film. I'm just going to get to the point: video game movies are notoriously known for their laughably horrendous quality. The video game movies that have been great, in my opinion, are 2019's Pokémon's Detective Pikachu and 2020's Sonic the Hedgehog, with other recent films such …
As a huge comic book fan, one of the largest disappointments in cinema over the recent years has been Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017). That said, the 2017 Justice League film has had an asterisk for the way the film was treated during production. Throughout the entire …
I am a comic book fanatic and have been ever since I first sat down and watched the '90s Spider-Man and X-Men cartoons. Ever since Iron Man (2008), Marvel has been creating this vast world that both comic book lovers like myself and people who see the colorful costumes and roll their eyes have fallen …
