There are honestly no words to describe the level of
anticipation for Avengers: Infinity War.
The buildup of a franchise for ten years to this type of massive cinematic
event is unprecedented, a possible once in a lifetime experience even. Constructing
these interesting characters and watching them grow throughout multiple films
has been a ride in and of itself, but the big finish is here, the steep drop in
the tracks, the end all be all of the last decade of Marvel films.

Truth or Dare - Review
In 2018’s second game themed film, Blumhouse brings the world Truth or Dare. A studio that has slowly become somewhat respected in the horror genre, returns to the days of releasing really dumb movies. If a film titled Truth or Dare ever had potential to be good, the filmmakers destroyed any that and instead delivered one of the worst films of the year.
Isle of Dogs - Review
Anytime a director like Wes Anderson, with his track record
and distinct style, releases a new film, it feels like a gift to film lovers. A
return to stop motion animation nine years after Fantastic Mr. Fox makes that gift even sweeter. The picturesque
nature of Anderson fits neatly inside the detailed world of stop motion
animation, a perfect combination if you will. Throw in dogs on top of that and it’s
really hard to imagine the final product being anything but quirky and fun.

A Quiet Place - Review
Perhaps the most underappreciated element of a truly great
horror flick is the use of sound. The implementation of the creepy or the
complete unsettling silence, sound in scary situations is vital to executing an
effective horror. One of these well-made films, in surprising fashion, comes
from an unlikely source, a former television comedy star in John Krasinski, who
seemingly announces his entrance onto the scene with an incredible film.
Blockers - Review
Is it possible for there to be two great comedies from major
studios before the first quarter of 2018 is even over? After Game Night received its praise earlier this
year, it seems Blockers is getting its
fair share now as well, though the two are wildly different outside of their
ability to separate from typical studio fare. Simply put, Blockers is a gender bent, raunchy, teen comedy that is a mashed up
2018 version of multiple past films into something that surprisingly works.
