Ever since Venom was a smashing success, even hitting 800 million at the box office, I knew that a sequel would be inevitable. I honestly didn’t love the first Venom until recently and wasn’t too excited for a sequel. BUT, that all changed a couple of weeks ago when Fandango’s Erik Davis confirmed on his Twitter that Venom: Let There Be
Read MoreI’ll admit, before the release of the film in 2018, I wasn’t confident Venom would see much success at all, let alone enough to warrant a follow-up. But here we are, over 800 million dollars at the box office later and only a couple of days away from the release of the film’s sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage, I think
Read MoreMalignant is the most fun I’ve had watching a horror movie in a long time. Since James Wan busted on the scene with 2004’s genre reforming hit Saw, his work has been consistently divisive (to say the least).

Spoilers for Reminiscence below, final warning! Reminiscence follows a man named Nick (Hugh Jackman),

The review contains only mild spoilers, if that, for the film. Marvel is focused on the future. After the prequel of Black Widow, Marvel Studios has released its first front-facing movie
Read More★★★★ / ♥♥♥♥ The Suicide Squad directed by James Gunn is the latest adventure of the Suicide Squad introduced by David Ayer in 2016. Keeping few of the original roster, the new film features an all-star cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, John Cena, David Dastmalchian, Peter Capaldi, the voice of Sylvester Stallone, and cameos galore.

Read MoreWhen Spider-Man 3 came out in 2007, I was 4 years old and definitely had no concept of what a film should be. However, I did know what a film could be — and after seeing Spider-Man 3, I knew that films could be AWESOME. I am self-aware and I am definitely aware of the fact that not everyone else was
Read MoreFor my entire life, all I’ve heard about is how great He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was. My Mom and Dad were born in the mid-70s, so He-Man was very much my dad’s bag.
