And, of course, Denzel Washington is amazing once again, bringing his usual intensity and charisma to the character. It's a solid addition to the series. Loved seeing Washington and Dakota Fanning working together once again. The Bad The major problem I had with The Equalizer 3 was that Dakota Fanning’s character supposedly has no idea

When Reggie gets abandoned by his owner in the city, Bug and his friends must assist Reggie come to terms with his new life as a stray. Together, the group embark on a journey to help Reggie find his way back home, with the goal of seeking revenge on his owner Doug. What follows is The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers of Strays. The Good Strays is a comedy brimming with crude and crass humor that consistently hits the mark. Throughout the film, audiences will find themselves laughing at jokes that occasionally push, or leap over, the normal limits. While much of the comedy is straight forward, I enjoyed some of the more subtle jokes such as jabs at other dog-centric films like A Dog’s Purpose . Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx do an exceptional job voicing the main characters and truly bring them to life. The Bad Once again, Strays is a crude comedy, but sadly i

  The Last Voyage of the Demeter sailed into theaters this past weekend. This movie gives life to the captain’s log in Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. The crew of the merchant ship Demeter sailed to London, as they have countless times before. What should be a routine job and hefty bonus, soon becomes a fight for survival as the crew learns that there is a monstrous presence aboard. What follows is  The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers  of  The Last Voyage of the Demeter . The Good While the story The Last Voyage of the Demeter is based on excerpts from a classic horror novel, the idea to bring these logs to life was genius. This film provides a story to the events that took place over a single chapter in the novel. While those of us who have read the novel know how the story will end, it did not change the intrigue in seeing how the story would play out. The cast does an amazing job making this believable with great performances throughout. The Bad Unfortunately, the unique take on

Talk to Me

  Talk to Me is the newest scary movie to hit theaters. A group of teenagers discover that they can use an embalmed hand to communicate with the dead. The experience is addicting and they soon relish the thrill to keep using the hand. Unfortunately, their game had frightening supernatural consequences. What follows is  The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers  of  Talk to Me . The Good I love a good horror movie, sadly a lot of horror movies over the last few years focus on jump scares more than the actual story. However, Talk to Me does a great job delivering an original story, filled with more chilling moments, then actual jump scares. (There are still plenty of those) The story is intriguing and will keep you questioning what is real and what is not throughout the entire film.   By far my favorite aspect of this movie is the ending. Although my reviews typically have spoilers, I cannot bring myself to spoil what I thought was a superb ending to this horror film. Often, horror mo
