The first Maleficent film was a huge hit, and with good reason. Featuring good performances from the two leads, an ok script, and pretty good effects, it took something we knew and gave it its own spin.

When you get around to the third film of an action franchise, there needs as with each installment to be something that happens to push the stakes (or at least the action) further than before. We need to continue to care about the characters at least enough to have us stick around for a few […]

”Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” is a genuinely solid horror film, and its effectiveness is all the more impressive since it only had a PG-13 rating to work with. Adapted for the screen by producer Guillermo del Toro from three volumes of illustrated horror novels for children, the film brings contemporary jump scares and […]
