When Arnold Schwarzenegger took the lead role in the original “Predator” from 1987, it began a franchise. It continued with a sequel in 1990, which I skipped, two battles between the Predator and the Alien (“Alien vs. Predator” and it’s… Read More ›
Horror
The Nun
I’ve enjoyed the original “Conjuring” movie in 2013, but ever since, there hasn’t been a single spin-off or prequel to be better. Not the “Annabelle” movies nor the latest prequel “The Nun.” They’re not terrible movies, because they have some… Read More ›
The Little Stranger
Some of the best horror movies these days come from overseas, because they don’t rely on jump-scares or idiotic characters for box office dough. Examples include “The Babadook” and “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night;” and both of them… Read More ›
Hereditary
The best horror movie of the year, so far, has arrived, and that is “Hereditary.” This is no jump scare piece of crap; it’s a personal study that heads straight to Hell. You don’t know how lucky you are to… Read More ›

Unsane
I just found out that director Steven Soderbergh shot “Unsane” with the iPhone 7. Look at the quality and tone the iPhone has given to the movie, especially with its 4K app. Sometimes, it’s shot with with a blue filter,… Read More ›
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
There’s an Autistic approach in “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” that I find most intriguing. Being a young man with Autism, it’s easy for me to determine that based on the dialogue and the behavior of the characters. Colin… Read More ›
mother!
I saw “mother!” at special premiere at Radio City Music Hall, marking the first time I’ve been there (shocking you may think). Getting inside was crazy: lines, security, criticism (no outside food/beverages and feet off the seat). I was left… Read More ›
It
“You’ll float too,” when you read my review of “It.” I’ve never watched the full mini-series of “It,” based on Stephen King’s novel, but I have checked out the scenes with Tim Curry as Pennywise the demon clown, and thought… Read More ›
