    My first Shyamalan film on this site. It likely won’t be the last, but I at least want to start with one I consider to be good. It’s crazy how this movie makes ordinary people having superpowers seem normal. Incredibles might just have to do it better in a few years. However, I said this…

    This week we’re wrapping up Spooky Season with a horror film that has certainly stood the test of time. While not well-received after it first came out, it has since become heavily reevaluated and widely known as one of the best horror films ever made. Sure the author of the source material doesn’t agree. But…

    Ah, the little horror film that could. And has since done. Starting from humble beginnings, this low-budget passion project has since launched sequel after sequel after sequel. So many people have found themselves intrigued with the traps and ideology of the Jigsaw Killer, but let’s start our journey with the original groundbreaker: Saw.

    Spooky Season continues with quite possibly the most controversial modern horror classic. Having come out 25 years ago and spawning an entire horror subgenre in the process, surely this is worth a closer look. Does it still hold up after all these years?

    Happy Spooky Season! You know, gender swapped Twilight is better than I thought it would be, but I only saw it once a while ago. Am I remembering it correctly? Is there more to it that I missed the first time? Probably, so let’s take a look at Let Me In, the remake of Let…

    One of the highest grossing movies of all time: Blue people on planet Not-Well-Hidden Metaphor. How did we let this happen? That’s the question I’ve been trying to answer ever since I saw this movie the first time, and hopefully this closer look at Avatar will shed some light on it.

    A world of magic, monsters, swords, evil queens, and that’s pretty much it in the land of Willow. I have a bit of a hard time saying anything exceptionally positive about this film, but maybe a closer look will shed some more light on it.

    Ah, the beautiful and terrifying world of 80’s kid’s films. They don’t make ’em like they used to, and this movie is the perfect example of that. While not a flawless film, it’s certainly one of my childhood favorites so let’s take a look at The Dark Crystal!

    Sure this isn’t a bad Pirates movie, but it definitely isn’t a good one either. Also, does anyone really care at this point? That’s essentially the mindset, but let’s take a look at Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales anyway.
