Pearl
Horror prequels don’t get as crazy as this psycho gets. You remember when Mia Goth played that evil old lady Pearl in “X” last March? Well, writer/director Ti West gave her a prequel film entitled “Pearl,” which he filmed back-to-back… Read More ›
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
This LOTR Amazon series has that theatrical movie quality. I was told by a buddy of mine that the prequel series on Amazon Prime Video “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” was created by J. D. Payne… Read More ›

Cruella

Dark Phoenix
