'Spree' Review

Spree is Joe Keery’s one-man vehicle that showcases his range outside of being daddy Steve Harrington

'The Invisible Man' Review

Whannell applies just the right amount of realism to his take.

'Come to Daddy' Review

You Elijah wouldn’t believe how much of a blast this is.

Doctor Sleep Review

This is like a very long episode of Hill House had a baby with Gerald’s Game… and that baby can astral project.

Parasite Review

As I left the theater, the first words that were uttered under my breath was, “Oh, so this is what Cinema feels like?”

Rendy Jones 09/23/2019 Rendy Jones 09/23/2019

The Report Review

What NWA did to the police in a 4-minute song, Burns does to the CIA in 113 minutes through film.

Rendy Jones 08/05/2019 Rendy Jones 08/05/2019

The Nightingale Review

Throws so much abhorrent shock value your way that it becomes numbing.

Rendy Jones 08/03/2019 Rendy Jones 08/03/2019

Luce Review

As of now, I’m completely satisfied with not seeing it because Luce is everything one should look for in a satisfying super villain origin story, if not more.

Ma Review

How in the hell did one of the best trailers I’ve seen in years end up being one of the worst movies I’ve seen in 2019?

Rendy Jones 03/06/2019 Rendy Jones 03/06/2019

Climax Review

This is the definition of the term “feast your eyes,” for each sequence is a visual buffet.

Rendy Jones 02/27/2019 Rendy Jones 02/27/2019

Greta Review

The number of pills needed to swallow in order to invest in the story are of ample amount, but when it comes to size, it varies throughout bringing the film to a halt oh so many times.

Rendy Jones 02/12/2019 Rendy Jones 02/12/2019

Happy Death Day 2U Review

Jessica Rothe deserves to be a superstar!

Rendy Jones 01/16/2019 Rendy Jones 01/16/2019

Glass Review

On the bright side, it’s nowhere near Shyamalan’s worst.

Rendy Jones 01/05/2019 Rendy Jones 01/05/2019

Escape Room Review

For this being the first release of the new year, “Escape Room” does its job right (for the most part).

Rendy Jones 11/11/2018 Rendy Jones 11/11/2018

Widows Review

Right when the film opens, the serious gritty tone is established and it is maintained throughout so it all feels so real. “Ocean’s 8” could never!

Hunter Killer Review

I’m gonna go ahead and say it: Gerard Butler, please get yourself a new agent.

Halloween Review: A Refreshing Love Letter to Classic Horror

“Jamie Lee Curtis came here to do 2 things: eat some Activia and fuck Michael Myers up! And she just finished her Activia.”

Bad Times at the El Royale Review: Fun Time Runs Long Time

Cynthia Erivo’s voice. Damn.

Rendy Jones 09/25/2018 Rendy Jones 09/25/2018

Assassination Nation Review: The Purge Wished It Was This Badass

This film is a giant, well-deserved “Fuck You” to America.

Rendy Jones 09/14/2018 Rendy Jones 09/14/2018

A Simple Favor Review: Feig's Streak of Cross-Genre Comedies Continue

It’s as if Feig saw “Gone Girl” and said, “This is too serious. Let’s liven this up.” and we got “A Simple Favor” out of it.

Peppermint Review

Wait... This isn’t an “Elektra” reboot?

Rendy Jones 08/31/2018 Rendy Jones 08/31/2018

Kin Review

Damn, this movie had so much (well... moderate potential) to be good.

Rendy Jones 08/16/2018 Rendy Jones 08/16/2018

Mile 22 Review

The way this movie is spliced together feels less like a movie and more like the longest commercial for the CIA ever created.

Rendy Jones 08/10/2018 Rendy Jones 08/10/2018

Slender Man Review

I was so close to handing the “Why The Fuck Do You Even Exist” award to “Sherlock Gnomes” this year, but “Slender Man” just had to be dumped on us.

Rendy Jones 07/10/2018 Rendy Jones 07/10/2018

Skyscraper Review

You think “Furious 7” defied the laws of physics by having a car fly from one building to another? Believe me, Will Sawyer and his family are all practically immortal because somehow they all manage to defy death.

Rendy Jones 07/04/2018 Rendy Jones 07/04/2018

The First Purge Review

I’m not fully onboard with how the film exploits our political issues and use that as a means of entertainment.

Rendy Jones 06/20/2018 Rendy Jones 06/20/2018

Hotel Artemis Review

One of the best things about “Hotel Artemis” is the idea of Hotel Artemis.

Rendy Jones 06/08/2018 Rendy Jones 06/08/2018

Hereditary Review

Ari Aster may have a thing for disturbing dysfunctional families and this movie fully proves that.

Rendy Jones 06/04/2018 Rendy Jones 06/04/2018

Upgrade Review

It feels as if Whannell saw both "Robocop" 2014 and “Hardcore Henry”, was hella disappointed by them, and responded with, “Partna let me Upgrade ya.”

American Animals Review

You see this, Clint Eastwood?! This is how you incorporate your real life subjects into your biographical film.
