Why 28 Years Later Is So Much Better Than Most Zombie Movies and Shows 28 Years Later reverses the twist from its predecessor and from most modern zombie stories.

For @denofgeek.bsky.social, I wrote about #28yearslater and how its life-affirming approach sets it above other postapocalyptic zombies stories (like, for example, a particularly dire one on premium cable...): www.denofgeek.com/movies/why-2...

Friday the 13th Perfected the Jason Movie in The Final Chapter It may have taken four movies, but Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is slasher perfection that defines the franchise.

Happy #fridaythe13th! Please enjoy my appreciation of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, which is not only my favorite movie in the franchise, but also (in my opinion) one of the best slashers ever made. For @denofgeek.bsky.social:

Stephen King Novella Adaptations Ranked Some of the most interesting Stephen King films have come from neither novels nor short stories.

With the excellent THE LIFE OF CHUCK now in theaters, I took a look for @denofgeek.bsky.social at all the Stephen King novellas adapted for the screen. Does this shorter-than-a-novel-longer-than-a-short-story format work best for adaptation? www.denofgeek.com/movies/steph...

Ballerina Review: Ana de Armas Vehicle Doesn’t Hold A Candle To the John Wick Movies Ballerina badly wants you to know it’s a John Wick spinoff, because it has little else to offer on its own.

BALLERINA is an example of doing franchise extension with no real story to tell. Aside from some inventive action in the middle, it's dull and far too reliant on the flagship. My review at @denofgeek.bsky.social: www.denofgeek.com/movies/balle...

Doctor Who: Farewell to the Fifteenth Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor was joyful, flirtatious, and… robbed? One fan explores the fallout from the Season Two finale. Spoilers.

I’m glad I gave myself a few days to process the #DoctorWho S2 finale before I wrote this for @denofgeek.bsky.social! (CONTAINS SPOILERS) www.denofgeek.com/tv/doctor-wh...

Okay, promise I'll move on at some point (yes, it's still all I can think about)... But the @denofgeek.bsky.social review of last night's Doctor Who pretty much sums it up for me!
