Upgrade Movie Review. Violent, Gory And Fun To Watch

June 1, 2018 Raymond

0

Upgrade Movie Review: For better or worse, I look back fondly on action movies of the ‘80s. The ridiculous plots, over-the-top action, and unapologetic celebration of gore all occupy an oddly tender place among my childhood memories. Leigh Whannell’s Upgrade is a 21st century heir to the movies that made Rambo, Robocop, and the Terminator […]

Happy Death Day: Movie Review

October 13, 2017 Jason MBrown

In the nearly 25 years since the release of Groundhog Day, starring the incomparable Bill Murray, time loops have become a common movie device, for better or worse. That 1993 comedy employed the device so famously as to hijack the holiday after which it was named. When someone says “Groundhog Day,” the idea of reliving […]

IT: Movie Review

September 8, 2017 Jason MBrown

There’s something special about youthful imagination. The same imagination that inspires childhood aspirations also conjures monsters and boogeymen. The cruel twist is dreaming of one day becoming an astronaut is as fun as believing in monsters is terrifying. Out of this contradiction, we get It, the latest Stephen King novel to get a big-screen adaptation. […]

Nearly three years after the first Annabelle movie was released, the terrifying doll returns in the form of a prequel directed by Lights Out creator, David F. Sandberg. I should preface this by saying that while I loved The Conjuring, its Annabelle spin-off didn’t work for me at all. I groaned at the idea of […]

It Comes At Night: Movie Review

June 9, 2017 Jason MBrown

It Comes at Night – a vague and ominous title befitting a movie that itself is vague and ominous. The title is great, if only it fit this movie, it would be even better. Set in a world reeling from a deadly pandemic, this movie’s danger isn’t the exclusive domain of the dark, so the […]
