Ranking The Franchise: Child’s Play/Chucky

Having recently ranked the Mission: Impossible franchise after it [allegedly] wrapped up with The Final Reckoning, I got to thinking about what other franchises I could do a ranking of. In addition to Tom Cruise’s nearly 30 year action journey, I had previously done the Halloween, Friday The 13th, and Nightmare On Elm Street series from bottom to top. Which is little surprise, as horror … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Child’s Play/Chucky

Ranking The Franchise – Mission: Impossible

Well, Tom Cruise’s franchise opus is finally–allegedly–over. With the release of Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning, a franchise that was almost thirty years old has come to a conclusion. Tom Cruise has put life and limb on the line with ridiculously unnecessary stunt after ridiculously unnecessary stunt to get our butts into the cinema, and it’s time for him to move on to his next … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise – Mission: Impossible

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Present Day Sam sat in the lobby of Professor Rowan’s laboratory thumbing through the magazine selection on the small desk next to his seat. Newsweek, Linoone Fancy, National Geographic, World Pokemon League Illustrated, and Ponyta Dressage Today; nothing that really seemed to catch his eye. Sam thought this odd because he usually enjoyed Newsweek, at least, but his heart just didn’t seem to … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 3

Pop-Tart Quest: Lemon Blueberry Crumble

It has been A WHILE since Pop-Tarts released a new flavor, but don’t worry: every time I go to a store, I scour the shelves to make sure I haven’t missed any. They have just been resting on their laurels flavors-wise while they prepare more fun antics for the Pop-Tarts Bowl Game every January. Which, incidentally, is a fine usage of their time. I love … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Lemon Blueberry Crumble

A Hard Place Review

A Hard Place features a cast of genre titans, including Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp, Terrifier 2), Lynn Lowry (Shivers, The Crazies), Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6, The Beast Inside), Rachel Amanda Bryant (Craving), Kevin Caliber (“Future Man”), Ashley Undercuffler (Craving, 16 Bits), and Bai Ling (The Crow). I feel like, historically, we have gotten a lot of Vampires fighting Werewolves in pop culture. I’m not … Continue reading A Hard Place Review

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Twelve Years Ago “Vlam, use your confuse ray on it!” The small, red fox pokemon’s six tails stood erect from her hindquarters, and her amber eyes glowed with energy. The Machoke that had been charging her suddenly stumbled and fell over, its head cracking a rock on the field in two. The crowd assembled around the battle let out a cheer; the courageous … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 2

Fear Street: Prom Queen Review

It feels weird that it’s been since 2021 when the last Netflix Fear Street movies were released, and I swear I thought it was much more recently than that. When I was looking for my rankings of them on Letterboxd, I looked over 2022 and 2023 before going back to 2021, and there they were. Regardless, when they were released FOUR YEARS AGO (god, time … Continue reading Fear Street: Prom Queen Review

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Present Day Sam Stark woke up in the strange bed struggling for each breath. He caught a glimpse of the alarm clock next to his bed: Three in the morning. Sam pounded his fist into the too-hard mattress; he was used to having the nightmare by now, but he knew he’d never get used to how it felt waking from it. He briefly … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 1

Clown In A Cornfield Review

Self-aware slashers that cash in on nostalgia for the sub-genre are something of a-dime-a-dozen these days. We are still in an era of 80’s and 90’s nostalgia, and people love to both be reminded of what they used to adore while also seeing a humorous and modern take on it. In recent years, we have seen movies such as Totally Killer, Freaky, and The Blackening … Continue reading Clown In A Cornfield Review
