Movie Review: Weapons

By this point, everyone has heard the incredible backstory of this movie: the bidding war for the rights to produce/direct it; Jordan Peele losing out and immediately firing his representatives; the possible symbolism behind the title Weapons, about a class of elementary kids that go missing. Without a doubt, this movie has been heavily hyped … Continue reading Movie Review: Weapons

Movie Review: Fear Street (Prom Queen)

If you were caught up in the Fear Street craze of 2021, you likely remember where and when you watched those movies. They’re all over the place quality-wise, but I remember the exact place I watched them: With my lovely wife, on a vacation to Brown County, Indiana, and we stayed in our favorite cabin … Continue reading Movie Review: Fear Street (Prom Queen)

Movie Review: Sinners

I finally got a chance to watch the hottest horror movie of the year (and I mean that in multiple ways.) It's been a while since an original horror movie really took over theaters, so I absolutely couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this movie. (Vampiric pun intended.) I didn't know exactly what to … Continue reading Movie Review: Sinners

A Chaotic, Let-Down Launch Week

When The Band came out last week on April 4, I was so excited! I was and still am very proud of this book. The story, the cover (thanks to Aspire Book Covers), the illustrations (thanks to my incredible wife Juliana; see one of them above!) and I couldn’t wait to share it with everyone. … Continue reading A Chaotic, Let-Down Launch Week

Best Movies of 2024

It's that time of year again! A time to reflect on the last 12 months and (my personal favorite) make lots of lists that people will skim through. See? You're already skimming! Last year (2023) was one of the most enjoyable movie-years I've ever had. Last December, I reviewed a bunch of 2023 films and … Continue reading Best Movies of 2024

Movie Review: Night Swim

I don't remember which of you told me to watch this movie, but you will not be forgiven. No, but seriously, this is... a movie. I can say that much for sure. So let's get into this. Just how bad is this movie? Is it worth watching? Do I still enjoy pools? All that and … Continue reading Movie Review: Night Swim

Movie Review: Pearl

Last week, I reviewed the first movie in this trilogy, called X. This week, I'm looking at the prequel Pearl, which gives us the origin story for one of the villains in X. Both the original villain and the main character in this movie--same character, just younger--are played by Mia Goth who really carries this … Continue reading Movie Review: Pearl

Movie review: X

We're working our way toward Halloween--yes, it's only mid-July, but I can basically see October from here--and I'm currently writing the sequel to The Silent Forest and finishing that trilogy, so what better way to get back into the Halloween mood than a terrifying trilogy from Ti West? (That being said, I can't review the … Continue reading Movie review: X
