The dark, and somewhat twisted, comedy mixed with horror
created a surprising, but ridiculously fun film in Happy Death Day. And
due to its low-budget turned solid hit moniker, a sequel was all but guaranteed
to be put into development (and if you believe producer Jason Blum, an entire
cinematic universe). Sequels are tricky, especially after the first came out of
nowhere, but the filmmakers have completely shifted the franchise’s tone and
genre to keep things fresh, even if the quality dips along with it.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part - Review
A still lingering bitterness over The LEGO Movie being
snubbed for Best Animated Feature back in 2014 should tell you all you need to
know about the love for the first film. It was a surprising but remarkably
imaginative and visually creative hit, so making a worthy sequel was never
going to be easy. However, the ideas from the minds of writers Phil Lord and Christopher
Miller always seem to click in some fashion, and The LEGO Movie 2: The
Second Part is no exception.

Miss Bala - Review
The latest Hollywood remake of an exceptional foreign film
joins a list that one does not want to be a part of. While it’s hard to justify
its existence in the first place, Miss Bala tries very little to
convince audience members it deserves their money or their praise. It may be
the first film of February, but this certainly features all the monikers of a
January film.
