Welcome to my weird world!
In my review of the last Hitman's Bodyguard, I pointed out how I didn't like Salma Hayek's character as the hitman's imprisoned wife. Well, that apple's now on its head. ... Yeah, I need to come up with better comparisons. Here, she's out of prison and alongside the blokes, showing just how much she can... Continue Reading →
Since the trailer for the sequel was recently uploaded (and I was wondering when it would arrive for a long time; I don't think trailers for big movies normally show up only one month before premiering) I thought I would bring my thoughts on the original, a horror film that's really stuck with me, for...

In anticipation for the sequel I'm going to see soon, I wanted to bring up The Hitman's Bodyguard, which I would describe as the best example of a "hamburger movie". What is that? Well, like a hamburger, it is familiar, defaultly ungourmet, and often messy when trying to eat it, but tasty, filling, and what... Continue Reading →
The original Miss Peregrine trilogy is flat-out perfect. I read the first one in one day, Hollow City upped the suspense and universe, and by the time I finished Library of Souls, I had a goofy grin on my face like I'd won a trip to Aruba, along with an all expense paid tour of...

I beg that you see the first Quiet Place before this movie if you haven't already, which is the logical thing to do, after all. The only thing stupider would be a mariachi band in the middle of the emergency shutdown these characters are enduring, that's about 50 times worse than ours. The first Quiet... Continue Reading →
Wow. I really shouldn't have worried about the sequel to the riotously entertaining and welcoming mystery thriller that was One Of Us Is Lying. With this, Karen M. McManus has made herself official as one of my favourite authors. Maybe I should stand by that statement only after reading one more of her books. There's... Continue Reading →
If you'd like to hear what I thought of the movie, which I saw way before I read this book, you can click here. The short version is I over time just fell in love with it. So much so I was counting down the days till I'd be able to read the supposedly quite... Continue Reading →
Steven Spielberg may have invented the definition of the "chewing gum" movie. You watch it, and it sticks to your shoe. That might be a very strange way of putting it, but there have been movies over the years I have at first just enjoyed or really admired but realized over time how much better... Continue Reading →
It seems like during this pandemic, we’ve gotten so many war movies that have taken over the priority of advertisers, ever since superheroes (well, somewhat) took a back seat as they wait out the pandemic. I watched Without Remorse, and the time went by quickly, and I wouldn’t mind if I had to watch it... Continue Reading →
Believe it or not, when I think of Mortal Kombat, I think of SpongeBob. When I had baby teeth, Nickelodeon produced more than one fighting-type game in Bikini Bottom's universe that is undeniably inspired from MK's algorithm. So even though I've never technically played a game with Mortal Kombat in the title, I've held the... Continue Reading →
