‘The Forever Purge’ Review—A Grating Experience
The only reason I would have to cleanse my soul is the fatigue I’m under from watching every movie in this awful series. I have had enough of The Purge movies. While some horror franchises begin with a strong opening installment and progressively worsen over time as unnecessary sequels are added, this series didn’t even have a good opener. Eight years, three Purge sequels, and a TV show later, we have The Forever Purge, a dystopian action-horror film directed by Everardo Gout.

'F9: The Fast Saga' Review—Absolute Insanity
No animals were harmed in the making of this movie. Just a lot of cars, buildings, and every law of physics you can think of.

Pixar has always been my favorite animation studio, and they have blessed us all again with a Disney+ original, Luca. This film comes to us from long-time storyboard artist Enrico Casarosa in his feature directorial debut. Our story follows two young boys having fun in an Italian summer as they must hide the fact that they are sea monsters in a city that fears them.
