Interesting concept but casting was not helpful, at all. Felt as though everything was forced, as a result. The movie finds itself wanting to be a Final Destination of sorts throughout and ends with a lazy resolution.
Challengers: Because Sex and Sports…Duh
Was primarily invested in seeing this movie to get more perspective of Zendaya’s acting range, which is front and center in this movie.
Abigail: Vapid Meets Vampire
Vampires movies have the tendency to be either extremely over the top or extremely brooding and too cool for school this was an interesting medium on that spectrum but definitely leans more to the over the top side
Civil War: Too Close for Comfort
This movie was considerably “scary” because of the very real threat of this country being pushed into a Civil War after events like January 6th.
The First Omen: A Prequel With Purpose
Really love the 2006 remake of The Omen and have never seen the 1976 version, to which this movie is a prequel. Even having not seen the original, this prequel did a great job in telling a believable origin story.
Monkey Man: The Perfect Revenge Plot
This was everything you could want in a movie about revenge. The fight scenes were choreographed with great detail. The camera work was a little dizzying at some points but that only adds to the chaotic nature of those scenes.
