Movie Review: “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” – More Goosebumps
I don’t believe that the intention with 2019’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was to completely rip off another recent film franchise…but well, that’s exactly what happened. The plot is extremely similar to…

Movie Review: “Greta” – Don’t Take The Bait
There was so much potential for Greta. It’s a female-led thriller staring an older actress stalking a younger one. There’s no male gaze or uncomfortable gender moralizing. Neither of the main characters is a villain…
