This Stephen King reboot plays with fire and gets burned. Before I saw the new “Firestarter,” I had to see the 1984 version of Stephen King’s novel-the one with Drew Barrymore in one of her earlier roles as Charlie McGee,… Read More ›
Reboot
The Batman
Riddle me this, riddle me that, who won’t enjoy this big, black, bat? From Adam West to Michael Keaton to Val Kilmer to George Clooney to Christian Bale to Ben Affleck, Batman has been an iconic DC hero finding himself… Read More ›
Home Sweet Home Alone
The reboot nobody asked for is just as bad as you’d expect. Here’s the setup of “Home Sweet Home Alone.” A fat English kid living in America begs to use the bathroom in an open house, because he’s had one… Read More ›

Hellboy (2019)
Bloody Hell, is this reboot violent and loud? I was having a small discussion the other day with a friend of my uncle’s. He was saying that he barely goes to the movies anymore, because of how everything has to… Read More ›
