Thoughts on There’s Someone Inside Your House

 There’s Someone Inside Your House is a trite slasher. The plot is forgettable. The characters are bland and dull. It doesn’t do anything bold or new. It’s fine if you are just wanting a by-the-book slasher movie. 

Thoughts on Late Night With The Devil.

 Late Night With The Devil is a horror movie set on an episode of a 1970s talk show. It’s fun and strange. The story and acting is compelling and entertaining. Check it out if you want to see a fresh horror take.

Thoughts on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

 Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a sequel that felt needlessly bloated. Michael Keaton stands out in a cast of very talented actors that seems to largely do thwirn. The story is bare bones with a glut of unnecessary characters that add to the runtime and do nothing to further the plot or develop the characters. In short, stick with the original. 

Thoughts on Deadpool and Wolverine

 Deadpool and Wolverine is the latest Deadpool movie. It is cameo-filled and full of blood and dark humor. It’s entertaining and self-aware. It’s not the best movie, it won’t be winning awards. But it certainly isn’t the worst movie either. It’s good, and that is all you need from a comic book movie at times.

Thoughts on Despicable Me 4

 Despicable Me 4 is the latest of the very popular series of movies featuring the minions. The move is unfunny, and lacking even a basic story. With such a bevy of characters  many are relegated to inane side plots that add nothing to the narrative. I am also a middle-aged man, and not the primary target for this movie. My kids liked it a lot. If that is the audience you need to entertain, it will do the trick.

Thoughts in Renfield

 Renfield is a dark comedy about Dracula’s familiar. It has fun performances by Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage. The story has some weak spots but in terms of the tone of the movie it all works to make the movie fun. It won’t win awards but it was entertaining, at the very least. Check it out if you like horror and dark comedy.

Thoughts on Inside Out 2

 Inside Out 2 is a sequel to the Pixar film, Inside Out. The story is a good follow up to the first film. The characters show growth and the story is compelling. The addition of new emotions really help create a relevant and poignant story of a growing girl who is coming to terms with puberty. Check it out if you liked the first film.
