‘The New Mutants’ Movie Review
The New Mutants is a spinoff of Fox’s X-Men film franchise about some of the younger and lesser known mutants within that universe. A teenage girl named Danielle (Blu Hunt) is the sole survivor of a mysterious freak disaster and is brought to a special institute run by Dr. Reyes (Alice Braga), who informs Danielle that she is actually a mutant. At her institute, Reyes studies the behavior of young, struggling mutants and helps them control their abilities. But when the other patients (Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Henry Zaga) begin to experience nightmarish hallucinations, they start to realize that Reyes’ facility isn’t exactly what it seems.

Movie Review: 'Entwined' Greek Horror Thriller is Too Familiar
You want some advice, dear reader? If someone tells you that a person or place is cursed, believe them. This goes double if you are a character in a movie. Generally speaking, a curse always exists in a movie. Any time elderly towns-people warn some young whipper-snapper that such and such castle is cursed or ‘no one goes into the curse forest,’ no one listens and people end up dead. We’ve seen it thousands of times and the new foreign thriller Entwined has only a minor twist on the convention.

A Reckoning Review
The end of the world has captivated minds for perhaps most of the 20th century. It’s taken on different visions as to what it would look like to see everything that humanity has gained to be wiped away in the blink of an eye When people think of a post-apocalyptic film, the classics such as Mad Max, Waterworld, and Book of Eli usually come to mind. They are films full of baddies and action, daring chases, and great actors. What happens, though, when they are no bad guys? In fact, there's no one there except you.

In Two
Shawna was at the counter waiting for the barista to remake her drink. She was polite and honestly didn’t mind the mix-up, she understood what it was like to be the new guy. So, she waited patiently, not that she was in a rush to get back to her meeting with Susan. It took about three minutes for the latte to be remade, Shawna took her time walking up and taking it. Shawna let out a heavy sigh as she turned to walk back to her meeting.

‘Uncle Peckerhead’: Upsetting in the Wrong Ways
Horror-comedy is an absolutely fascinating genre. It’s an excellent means of psychological and social commentary, while also being light and often so outlandish that one has to laugh between the jump scares. In my experience, I think it is one of the only genres that really gets what existence is: weeding through the scary and the absurd to find the point of it all. Uncle Peckerhead, the newest entry into the genre, does a pretty good job of balancing these two factors. Written and directed by Matthew J. Lawrence, it’s easy to see a lot of heart went into this film. However, Uncle Peckerhead falls short, mainly in that it’s hard to know who to root for, and the stakes are never high enough to hit as hard as they should.

The Unrealized Potential of 'The Last Exorcism' (2010)
Daniel Stamm's 'The Last Exorcism' is one of those films that makes me want to tear my hair out, scream at the sky and pelt Reese's Pieces butter cup wrappers at my TV screen. And not in the nail-biting suspense sense one gets when watching a film by David Fincher or Christopher Nolan. Watching 'The Last Exorcism' filled me with sheer unbridled anguish and exasperation with the way an initially promising movie had sabotaged itself.
