Ugh. So Independence Day: Resurgence is the aggressively mediocre sequel to the 1996 Independence Day, itself a dumb but enjoyable flick. The original was accused by critics of the time for being exactly what this new movie is. Dumb, full … Continue reading
Checked out Now You See Me 2, the sequel to the dueling magicians flick from a few years ago starring Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Isla Fisher. This new movie swaps out … Continue reading

Final Girl is an odd horror/suspense film that has the DNA of similar films in it but doesn’t seem to know how to be that film. Basic premise is that a girl is recruited and trained all her life to … Continue reading
