The House With a Clock In Its Walls

Time waits for no man, or house. Upon the death of his parents, young Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vacarro) is taken in by his uncle, Jonathan (Jack Black). Jonathan lives in a sprawling mansion with his old friend in Florence (Cate Blanchett). There’s something about this house. Inanimate objects move, and, there’s a frequent ticking sound […]

What to Watch: Descending the Rungs in Jacob’s Ladder (1990)

With the speed and sometimes reckless abandon Hollywood typically cranks out remakes at, it is a significant surprise that it has taken roughly 29 years for the Adrian Lyne directed Jacob’s Ladder to get a treatment for the 21st century. That treatment is coming February 2019, which makes it a good time in the interim […]

The Meg

If Jason Statham can drive a car on a freeway on top of a train while he was on fire, I think he can handle a 75-foot shark. On a mission some time ago, Naval Captain/sea diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) stood in the face of underwater danger during a trying time against an unclear […]

Unfriended: Dark Web

Always, always use dial-up. Mathias (Colin Woodell) works at the local internet cafe, mainly because his computer is a slow piece of plastic on which he cannot get any work done on. One day, he comes across a posting on Craigslist for a dirt cheap and high-speed laptop and pounces on it. This is great, […]

The First Purge

Is this is beginning, or is this the end? For The New Founding Fathers of America, it’s the former. The NFFA has risen to power, overtaking the Republican and Democratic party to put a new leader in the White House. In 2014, America is at a crossroads, one that sees sky-high unemployment levels and extreme […]

Upgrade

Can’t get this Upgrade in stores. In the future, technology is intertwined heavily with the average human life. Anything from cars to drones to cooking is automated and few think twice about it. One who does think about it is Grey (Logan Marshall-Green), a stay-at-home auto mechanic who keeps busy repairing and selling cars while […]

Hereditary

Riches to the conqueror. As things stand currently for the Graham family, they’re going through a lot with the recent passing of the eldest matriarch. However, to say all of them are filled with immense grief would be incorrect. For Annie (Toni Collette), specifically, the relationship she shared with her mother was lukewarm at best […]

What to Watch: Preying on L.A. in Predator 2 (1990)

You know what they say about decades? A new one doesn’t begin until the final number in a year ends with a “1.” November 1990 saw the sequel to the super-popular Predator in Predator 2. With no Arnie, Carl Weathers, Jesse “The Body” Ventura, Shane Black, or epic handshake returning, the viewing populace seemed to […]

Bad Samaritan

Always think twice before leaving your car with those valet boys. In Portland, Oregon, young Sean Falco (Robert Sheehan) attempts to make a living as a freelance photographer. He refuses to be tied down to a boring corporate suite job, much to the chagrin of his father. At least he has the support of girlfriend […]

Truth or Dare (2018)

Nothing good ever happens in Tijuana. It’s the last semester of college for Olivia (Lucy Hale), a humanitarian who’d rather build homes for the underprivileged on her spring break than party. Noble. But Liv’s best friend and party animal Markie (Violett Beane) implores her to live a little and join on a wild trip to […]
