My movie enjoyment rules are simple...interesting stories, complex characters that I can root for. This movie barely hit those. While this movie wasn't terrible, it wasn't that great either. It failed to live up to the expectations the trailer showed. When I saw the trailer, it looked spooky. A dark entity follows a couple home while on the road. That was the crux of why I didn't love the movie. The Set Up: The start of the movie was interesting. Two guys on the road pull ove

Would have gone with the 'be careful what you wish for' tag for my tag, but I like to go with my bad jokes/puns/obscure pop culture references. It's another horror movie watch for the year. Absolutely love and enjoy them, even when they kind of suck. This one, however, did not. I don't know much about the writer/director Curry Barker, nothing really, but this was a very well written, well directed film. Start to finish he crushed it...might have gone a little overly with some

Thirty years. That's how long this franchise has been around. It was thought to end on a trilogy. Then a fourth came out. Then a requel. Sequel the requel. Then finally, Scream 7. I first saw Scream when I rented it one weekend back in high school. I was staying at my aunt's house with my brother, Travis, and after my cousins were asleep I popped it in.

Strangers Poster So, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this movie series. I didn't overly love the first chapter. A lot of it boils down to the protagonist, Maya. She's as smart as she is dumb. There are multiple times where she did something smart to survive, then did something stupid. If you stab someone trying to kill you with a pitchfork and walk away without stabbing again in their face, definitely ending them...you know nothing of survival. The movie itself

The Conjuring franchise has been scaring audiences in multiple storylines for more than a decade. The first hitting theaters in 2013. Those that were unaware were introduced to the Warren's. Paranormal experts that investigate hauntings and demonic possessions.

AI of course can be a wonderful and useful tool, depending on how we use it. It learns and becomes what it is based on what we feed it. Given the current climate of the world, I would advise against using any AI robots in the military in the distant future. Cause you know...again, Terminators.

January and February Movie reviews

A look at two vastly different religious based movies.

This movie had a severe lack of show and tell. The build up to what was happening and the possession was so slow paced.

College kids gathered for a friends birthday in a mansion they probably could never afford even if renting for a night.
