REVIEW: Five Nights at Freddy’s (2023)

AlexGherzo | Oct 27, 2023 | 0

Hollywood loves to capitalize on a holiday, and none more than Halloween. Doubtless, this has to do with horror movies being cheap to make and the fan base demanding little more than a few scares – or, barring that, at least some gore and entertaining kills. That makes Five Nights at Freddy’s a...

REVIEW: Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

AlexGherzo | Oct 19, 2023 | 2

Killers of the Flower Moon is Martin Scorsese taking his time. It doesn’t have the frenetic energy of some of the films for which he’s most famous, but its intimate, slow-burn story reveals itself gradually, slowly setting the stage for a rumination on the nature of evil. And it’s done with a...

A Haunting in Venice is based on Agatha Christie’s novel A Hallowe’en Party and is the third of Kenneth Branagh’s adaptations of her work. I enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, so I’ve been excited about this film since it was announced. The trai...

REVIEW: The Equalizer 3 (2023)

AlexGherzo | Sep 2, 2023 | 0

If 2023 has proven anything, it’s that giving people what they want leads to success. Barbie is the most glaring example, an expected hit that turned into a phenomenon by pleasing its target audience. Oppenheimer did much the same, making a thoughtful movie for people craving one. Now, The Equa...
