By Courtney Roethle INITIAL THOUGHTS This is everything and anything I wanted it to be. I wanted to be kept guessing, I wanted answers, without knowing entirely what all the questions were yet. And Zach Cregger delivered! The packed theatre never had a full reaction to the film, whether it was the parts that scared... Continue Reading →
I know this was not a big summer blockbuster release, but there is serious claim to best film of the year for Sorry, Baby directed by Eva Victor and also starring Eva Victor. I am serious when I say this movie from an overall perspective of writing, pacing, cast performances, and delivery of a significant... Continue Reading →
Personally, people have been way too hard on this movie for a directorial debut. You’d think people were expecting Shelby Oaks to be the first horror movie to win Best Picture in 35 years with how they’ve hammered it. Is this movie perfect? No. Does it have pacing flaws and doesn’t quite dive all the... Continue Reading →
Black Phone 2 did what many sequels could only dream of (pun intended), and that was to surpass their predecessor. Many think this film just plays the old beats of Nightmare on Elm Street and Black Phone in one combined package, and my question to that is, how is that a bad thing?? This film... Continue Reading →
INITIAL THOUGHTS We are so blessed we have an original horror movie filled with limb twisting, romantic awkward relationship building, and scares to keep you up at night all weaved into one.

Somewhere in the skeleton of this film is a great horror movie. You have the nostalgia factor and I love that Jennifer Love Hewitt had a line to say nostalgia is overrated and it’s so ironic because not even nostalgia could carry this movie to an above average rating in my opinion. The likes of... Continue Reading →
INITIAL THOUGHTS For being more of a Batman than Superman fan, it was so refreshing to see a tonal shift for Superman that felt like you were watching a comic book on screen. Bursting with color, fun angles through the sky and during fight sequences, and true hero traits portrayed by Superman that establishes THE... Continue Reading →
INITIAL THOUGHTS This. This is what going to the movies is all about. You cannot often replicate the feeling of adrenaline, emotion, and triumph all in a 2.5 hour span that F1 portrayed on screen. This has star power all over. Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem leading the way of the old school, while Damson... Continue Reading →
INITIAL THOUGHTS After waiting 18 years since 28 Weeks, and 23 years since 28 Days, the payoff and continuation of this story was worth every bit of the wait. This is not just an amazing zombie horror film, this is an amazing film outright and has real claim to clash with the other bangers of... Continue Reading →
Before I write about my thoughts of the trailer. Here is the link below for any that have not seen it yet. https://youtu.be/oQXdM3J33No?si=rULZAPikLLa3hsZb It feels weird saying this will be the breakout role that separates Jeremy Allen White. Not to say he isn’t already significantly respected by his peers and the industry because he is... Continue Reading →
