It Chapter Two put together a dream cast with a combined 2 Oscar nominations, 6 Emmy nominations and 1 Emmy win (2, 3, and the win respectively from Jessica Chastain alone). Now the question was how they would go about telling this part of the story and could they truly capture the magic that the kids did with a group of 40 year olds?

Ready or Not, more horror than comedy? (review)
Ready or not serves as solid horror comedy that doesn’t necessarily have laugh out loud funny moments but has fun with its premise. Samara Weaving is great and you can definitely enjoy this as a movie night movie.
A Vigilante: Olivia Wilde takes on domestic violence (review)
A Vigilante gets a very strong performance from Olivia Wilde and tackles an important issue that doesn’t get covered well in most media. However, it is definitely a festival darling type of movie. This isn’t one you should watch if you’re slightly tired late at night.
Peanut Butter Falcon review
Peanut Butter Falcon wastes no time getting to its story. Shia Labeouf plays Tyler. He’s a crappy fisherman who is on his way nowhere and keeps making trouble for himself down at the docks. At the same time we have Zak. He’s a young man with downs syndrome who is stuck at an old folks home in this same small, coastal North Carolina town. Along with his roommate he plans a late night escape and winds up having to hide at the docks.
Screwball Review : One of a kind story
Just this year “Screwball” was released for the mass audience to watch. It is not hidden nor difficult to figure out what the movie is about, nor is it something sports fans can avoid. Screwball is about the steroid era in baseball, and how it became such an epidemic to a historically clean sport that is considered “America’s past time”
Scary Stories Review: Ghostly Final Destination
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was more creepy than scary though it did have its moments. Throughout the movie I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching a ghostly version of Final Destination.
Yesterday was a lot of fun to watch (Review)
Yesterday was just as fun as the trailer makes it out to be. There is a romance story line that I don’t really care for but besides that it’s a fun ride with great acting and great humor throughout.
Crawl Review: More than a Natural Disaster Movie
Crawl was an intense movie from start to finish and takes you into the heart of a hurricane before trapping you in a crawl space with large reptiles. Though that’s the main point to the movie, the family story line was a nice surprise.
Into the Dark: Culture Shock (Hulu)
Culture Shock at points is hard to follow. It’s starts out confusing, then becomes clear, then takes a surprising hard turn. For a while in the middle you will be very lost. I almost gave up on it during this period but when the reveal came I understood what was happening. Overall, I liked the idea by the end, just think it could have been executed differently.
Midsommar… is not for everyone
If you saw Hereditary, think back to the last 30 minutes of the movie, then stretch that out over 2 hours. If you didn’t see Hereditary, Midsommar is a beautifully shot film that is 2 hours of dread within a peaceful (looking) setting. There are a lot of shocking/upsetting moments that will stick with you long after the movie ends. Again, it’s beautiful though!
