Movie Review: “Annabelle Comes Home” – Boring
We’re going to get more Conjuring universe movies, and that’s starting to make me sad. Three of them have been good so far, and four of them…haven’t. If you’re familiar with the series and have…

Movie Review: “John Wick 3” – Gun-fu? Fun-fu!

Movie Review: “Bumblebee” – Big Action, Bigger Heart
Wow, what a difference injecting some fresh blood into franchise can do. Two years ago following the release of Transformers: The Last Knight fans were left reeling. The film wasn’t received particularly well, though none…
