Suicide Squad (2016)

DC Comics bad guys take on one of their fellow bad guys that was unleashed by the government intelligence officer who assembled the team of bad guys to stop other bad guys.

Here we go again with the remakes/reboots/re-imaginings/re-living-the-past/'member-berries. It's not a bad movie. It's got some well known characters and the production is top-notch. I loved Bill Murray as Baloo. It's a classic story that probably was due for an update. Probably. At the same time, I can't say it really captures the essence and free spirit of the animated Jungle Book. I know it's…

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

It's a direct continuation of part 4. Michael Myers is almost killed but gets away and then starts stalking his niece, played by Danielle Harris, who has a…

A health inspector in a small town uncovers the toxic waste-modified slug takeover. From the opening death, it takes a incredible amount of time before another death happens and it comes…
