Movie Review: It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

Reviewed December 25, 2020 The widely-loved Christmas classic about a man who has spent his life helping people at the cost of his own dreams, now contemplating suicide, when he’s visited by an angel that shows him how life would be different without him in it.

Movie Review: Wolfwalkers (2020)

4.75/5 Reviewed December 24, 2020 A note: I started doing these movie reviews SEVEN YEARS AGO TODAY. So felt like doing a requested film for the anniversary (if you’re wondering, the first one was Red 2 and it was a whopping 2 sentences). Irish animated flick about a young girl and her wolf-hunting father attempting

Movie Review: Club Dread (2004)

Movie Review: Halloween (1978)

Reviewed December 13, 2020 The horror classic that spawned a long franchise, and a great career for Jamie Lee Curtis, this is the tale of escaped psychotic killer Michael Myers, who returns to his hometown on Halloween night to pick up where he left off. Features a ton of horror tropes we now identify with

Movie Review: Rise of the Guardians (2012)

3.25/5 Reviewed December 8, 2020 Animated family flick about Jack Frost, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Mr. Sandman, and the Tooth Fairy vs the Boogeyman. It’s…very strange. Based on a popular book series (that I’ve never heard of), it’s definitely an interesting experience. The Bad: Could have gone without the super creepy minion elves. Yikes.
