Synopsis Breaking Dawn part one begins with the wedding of Edward and Bella. Over their honeymoon Bella becomes pregnant with an immortal vampire child (and possibly the antichrist? Its unclear). With the mortal Bella wasting away as the child feeds on her from within, Edward must find a way to save his new bride. Review of Breaking Dawn Part One This movie is legitimately one of the weirdest films I've ever seen. My jaw was on the floor the entire time and I could not believe my eyes in every scene. It is so strange, and there are moments where it is difficult to believe this was ever made in to an actual movie. Its terrible. Score: 10/10 … [Read more...] about Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 Review

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Review
Synopsis In a world where being a hot, sexy vampire is more important than being a good person, Bella is still dating Edward even though he is objectively abusive and controlling. When times get tough, Edward must do the hardest thing he has ever done in his undead life: Trust his girlfriend around the presence of another male. No, but seriously. That's the main conflict of the movie. But also, there are some evil vampires kind of just causing mayhem. If any of that is interesting to you, tune in to the spoilers section of this episode. Review of Eclipse In the third installment of the Twilight series, we are greeted by a lot more of the same stuff we got from the previous 2 movies. Bella likes Edward, but Jacobs six pack is slightly tempting. But not enough to cause any real problem in the relationship. The problems almost exclusively stem from how possessive Edward Cullins is. I get that the movies are doing what they can to attract viewership from teenage girls and stick to … [Read more...] about The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Review
Other Mommy Review
Synopsis 8 year old Bella loves her parents and in her spare time does what every little girl loves to do. Commune with a shape shifting trickster demon. Her playmate takes the form of her mother and Bella calls her, you guessed it, Other Mommy. The trickster demon does what every little girl loves to do. try to enter a victims heart and tear their life to pieces. Review of Other Mommy I wasn’t expecting much from watching the trailer and getting exposed to the intense marketing campaign for this movie. I expected another low effort Blumhouse one trick pony jump scare vehicle. Instead of conforming to the cookie cutter Conjurjng template, this movie borrows more from the pacing and meanness of the Evil Dead franchise. From the start it hits the gas, and never lets off. Director Rob Savage previously directed the excellent low budget found footage movies Host and Dashcam, but also recently directed the family based supernatural film The Boogeyman. He creates something unique … [Read more...] about Other Mommy Review

The Deep House
Synopsis When 2 20 something wanna be content creators find an opportunity to get views, Ben and Tina travel to a remote location to film their experience in an underwater home. After extreme flooding, the building sank into a local lake, making it the perfect spot for inexperienced divers to explore for YouTube. As things start to go south while deep in the house, the couple learns that this is no ordinary house, but a deep house. A Deep house with deep secrets. Review of The Deep House The Deep House is a novel idea with poor execution. Almost the entirety of the film is done underwater, which must have been incredibly hard to accomplish. I heard that most of the movie was filmed in a large swimming pool, which gives it a unique vibe. Unfortunately, it seems that the filmmakers were wholly incapable of capitalizing on this. There is almost no plot, and the plot that is there is so minimal that the characters hardly have time to explain it to you. There's a house underwater, … [Read more...] about The Deep House
Twilight Review
Synopsis Bella is a 17 year old girl who just moved to the small town of forks to live with her father. As she begins to make new friends at her highschool she runs into a very handsome and very mysterious Edward Cullins. He is tall, pale, and very moody. The perfect speciman. As Bella begins to fall for Edward she learns about his dark and sparkly secret. He is a 120 year old vampire. The insane age gap aside, the two begin dating, but soon a traveling group of vampires come to the town to tear the love-bats apart. Review of Twilight Twilight is an objectively bad movie. Luckily I think it falls into the category of "so bad its good". The dialogue is awkward, the acting is so bad it hurts. Its specifically geared towards teenage girls who fantasize about unhealthy relationships with undead monsters, making it an uncomfortable watch for a 27 year old man. But I do think those things are what makes it charming. I was watching this with my wife and we were laughing and talking … [Read more...] about Twilight Review

As Marry Ann’s mental health begins to deteriorate Kevin struggles to hang on to his humanity as he is tested by his biggest competitor yet, the devil himself. Review of The Devil's Advocate The film definitely speaks to the times especially horror and suspense in cinema. Thematically it’s a reflection of our inner most struggles in humanity in a dark yet fun way. The acting teeters between spot on and over the top depending on the scene. But undoubtedly … [Read more...] about The Devil’s Advocate Review
Resident Evil (2026) Review
Synopsis A medical courier named Bryan accepts one last job to deliver to Raccoon City hospital. on his way he is beset by many misadventures involving zombies and monsters. Review of Resident Evil (2026) Zach Cregger was fingered to direct this after the wild success of Barbarian and Weapons. Here he enters the hollywood machine of rehashing tired IP, and in this instance comes out not just unscathed but triumphant. Resident Evil doesn’t have the complexity of his previous movies, but maintains his excellent timing and humor. He basically takes the junky character from weapons and gives him a job inside a video game and we watch the wacky high jinx. Bryan is a couple steps above simpleton and largely has single words as dialogue for the movie, but Austin Abrams gives a great performance as the everyman. I laughed out loud several times in the movie at the reactions of Brian as well as some of the absurd situations throughout. It also has some great jump scares that … [Read more...] about Resident Evil (2026) Review
Thinner Review
Synopsis Based on the Richard Bachman/Stephen King novel of the same name, Thinner tells the story of an overweight lawyer who is cursed by a Gypsy to lose weight at an alarming rate. Review It’s a simple premise that makes you wonder, huh what are they going to do with that! The answer is nothing. This is a big ol nothing burger of a movie. I remember seeing it when I was younger but I always assumed it was a made for tv movie, and now I understand why I thought that. The production quality and acting was so bad that it induced incredulity. The movie focuses so much on moving the plot forward that it fails to include a story with characters with clear motivations. It is so focused on getting to the next stage of thinness that it never takes a moment to really communicate what the characters think or feel about the situation. It ends up feeling as hollow as the protagonist's former pants. Score 2/10 … [Read more...] about Thinner Review
