TAR
Next up on the AMC movie pass docket is TAR. Going into the film I had only seen the trailer once, and the production team was very careful to not give much, if anything away. My first impressions of the film was that it was going to be a pretentious, arrogant, self indulgent film that does everything it can to tout itself as high cinema without actually developing it's plot enough to be considered as such. After seeing it I can say that I was in fact correct.

Black Adam
I finally saw Black Adam this weekend. Now I want to start by saying that my expectations for DC movies are astoundingly low and that story accuracy isn’t important to me, but characterization accuracy is. That said Black Adam led by the Rock was one of the worst pieces of mindless, braindead media I’ve ever sat through in my life.

Review of 'The Haunted'
From Danielle Vega, YA's answer to Stephen King, comes a new paranormal novel about dark family secrets, deep-seated vengeance, and the horrifying truth that evil often lurks in the unlikeliest of places. Clean slate. That's what Hendricks Becker-O'Malley's parents said when they moved their family to the tiny town of Drearfield, New York. Hendricks wants to lay low and forget her dark, traumatic past. Forget him. But things don't go as planned. Hendricks learns from new friends at school that Steele House--the fixer upper her parents are so excited about--is notorious in town. Local legend says it's haunted. But Hendricks isn't sure if it's the demons of her past haunting her ...or of the present. Voices whisper in her ear as she lays in bed. Doors lock on their own. And, then, one night, things take a violent turn. With help from the mysterious boy next door, Hendricks makes it her mission to take down the ghosts . . . if they don't take her first.

All Quiet On The Western Front Movie Review
Of the many anti-war films, All Quiet On The Western Front from 1930 is perhaps the biggest pioneer. For the time, it was a staggering look at what was the most destructive conflict ever fought. Nearly a century later and a modern update has arrived from Germany. While it does nail the big picture, I wasn’t fully invested in this remake.

House of the Dragon v Rings of Power
With House of the Dragon and Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power being released and concluded around the same time fans can’t help but compare the two, at least a little. Though the two share the same overarching genre, their subgenres are different. House of the Dragon is medieval fantasy whereas Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power is high fantasy. Now to be clear House of the Dragon, and Game of Thrones simply would not exist without Lord of the Rings and Tolkien. Let's not pretend that George R.R. Martin came up with original thoughts, he simply rearranged the furniture Tolkien built.

My Review of "The Curse of Bridge Hollow"
The Curse of Bridge Hollow is Netflix's latest family Halloween movie of 2022. It's timing couldn't have been better as everyone is starving for Halloween content lately. This is a great ensemble cast for what it's trying to do. Though it might not blow your minds it is still a fairly competent movie.
