Predator: Badlands Can Kill Boredom
Predator: Badlands is a fun distraction on a dull Friday, killing boredom even as it strains to tell a deeper story for franchise fans.
PREDATOR: BADLANDS is a fun ride, especially on the big screen, and though it's expanded lore is mainly for franchise fans, it does add a degree of depth to keep things relatable. #filmreview #PredatorBadlands

Anything That Moves is a Giallo Treat
Anything That Moves offers a visually grand but narratively imperfect giallo sexploitation thriller about a sex worker stalked by a killer.
My latest review takes a look st ANYTHING THAT MOVES a giallo inspired thriller set in Chicago that looks great, though the story could play out a bit better. #horror

This is an age old BS Republican line going back to the 80s... they make changes (deregulation, social welfare cuts, tax credit erases, etc.) which make something unaffordable then blame struggling people for not having enough money to pay for how they're getting screwed.

Good Boy Is a Barking Good Time
GOOD BOY turns a potentially dull gimmick into a tense emotional rollercoaster: experiencing paranormal horror from a dog's POV.
Good Boy may seem gimmicky, but some smart stylization really adds a surprising amount of emotion to a simple #horror story proving that how a story is told matters immensely. #filmsky
