I’ve been busy this Holiday, so I’m sorry I didn’t have a review for “Bird Box” before. But I’ve finally given in to all the buzz about it, and found it to […]
Bird Box
Escape Room
When a horror movie gets campy, you know it’s an obvious bad idea to start a sequel. “Escape Room” has an interesting “Saw” minus “Saw” premise (game of life and death without […]
Overlord

Upgrade
There are some good ideas in “Upgrade,” which make the movie interesting. I consider this a B-movie with some silly effects, but a lot of fun and nice acting going on. Writer/director […]
