10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

If you've seen Cloverfield, prepare to watch something slightly less seizure-inducing. This sort of, but not really, sequel takes place almost entirely in an underground bunker. Much of the psychological thrilling comes from the mystery of what could possibly be going on in the world above. The cast is pretty minimal and they all shine in their own ways. John Goodman is always so…

I've always found Stephen King to be an amazing writer. His ability to craft a story is like no other. From horror to sci-fi to any genre he feels like. After reading Under the Dome, I was really excited for the supposed 10-part series on CBS. Then it had to suck AND be super popular, so they made two more seasons of dreck. Thanks, CBS.…

The response: "You…

Deadpool (2016)

I think I read one of the Deadpool comics when I was a kid and reading some X-Men comics. I always thought it was just a rogue X-Person who sparred with Wolverine from time to time. This new movie takes the character to 11 and makes one helluva fun ride for viewers. It was like an ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day: REFRESHING.…

We’re Getting the Band Back Together

The tacos have been gone for far too long. Well, they were never really "gone" per se. More like they were left for dead on the side of the road. The rescue helicopter is here to save the day and the tacos will rise from the ashes like a tasty Mexican phoenix entree. I'm so happy it's like a wedding. There will be games…
