Daddio
Daddio is a talker… a movie about conversation. It’s one of those and you’ll like it if you love that subgenre and hate it if you don’t. I dig it so I dug it… even if it’s not the best … Continue reading

Quiet Place: Day One
A Quiet Place: Day One should have just been renamed A Quiet Place: NYC since it wants to be the epic scale version of the Quiet Place Franchise. Yes, it happens on Day One of the invasion (but so too … Continue reading

Abigail
Abigail is exhibit A for not paying attention to trailers. Until a week ago, the only thing I knew about this film is that it was horror (and might have something to do with dance). Then I caught the tail … Continue reading
