Brightburn review: A new super-villain is born

Brightburn has a lot of similarities to The Prodigy. I liked the movie and the family dynamic is similar: scared dad, protective mom. It was way more graphic than I expected but overall, I really enjoyed it. 

Hulu Review: I’m just F*cking with You

I’m just F*cking with You starts out as online troll meets real life troll and quickly gets out of control. A wild ride of a movie that has great pacing and twists that will keep your attention. I enjoyed it. 

Summer ’03 is a “Must Watch” on Amazon

Summer ’03 is hilarious and very real. There are definitely some very cringey moments which I usually don’t like but it works here. I also love that its a movie with a female lead and director. I definitely cried during this movie but I’m not sure if it was the emotions or from laughter. 

Avengers: Endgame. Spoiler free reaction

Avengers: Endgame is finally here. I HATE spoilers so I went out of my way to talk about the movie without talking about the movie in this spoiler free review. 

The Silence review: I’ve seen this movie before

There are a lot of minor goofy flaws that make The Silence hard to enjoy on top of the similarities to other recent films. Overall, it’s not as good as A Quiet Place but still has some tense moments to make it watchable.

Us is no Get Out, but that’s a good thing

Don’t worry about looking for deeper messages. Us is a good, original, horror story with an amazing performance from Lupita Nyong’o and the child actors. It was fun to see Jordan Peele make a horror movie without it needing to be some groundbreaking feat. The twist left me feeling some sort of way but I can’t exactly put it into words. 

Captain Marvel was 3 movies in 1

To me, Captain Marvel felt like 3 movies mashed into one. The story of her finding her way as a Kree soldier, reuniting with an old friend back on Earth and learning the story of her past, then the unleashing of her real power. Marvel was playing catch-up and they did a decent job.

Shazam is the best DCEU movie- but not as family friendly as advertised.

Shazam starts off by immediately stripping away the sense of security the trailers gave you with an intense scene that lets you know the PG-13 rating was warranted. From there, most of the movie is fun and light. The characters are great (some side characters will be your favorites), you’ll be pulling for the hero, and the villains are terrifying at times. Overall, it’s a fun movie and I can’t wait for the sequel.

Soldier of War available on VOD: Review

While the budget constraints are clear, Soldier of War does enough with what it has to be an entertaining film. The ghost/monster spends the majority of the film without us knowing what it looks like and that works here. It’s aggressive and the story has historical elements that make it interesting. If you’re an indie horror fanatic you’ll enjoy this one.
