War for the Planet of the Apes is a Joyless Pile of References

A small blonde girl runs with a flashlight down a long tunnel, opposite a wall that reads “This Way Out of Hell” til she reaches a fork, where “Ape-Ocalypse Now” is spray painted in thick white block letters.

Jaeden Lieberher wearing a pair of steampunky goggles, a flight helmet and with a plunger over his shoulder. This is a still from the movie Book of Henry.

The Book of Henry is Not So Bad It’s Good

By Amanda Hudgins • June 26th, 2017

The Book of Henry is a baffling movie. It’s bizarrely bad, but there’s been some issues with coverage where people are implying that it has transcended to being a good-bad movie.

The Mummy is a Garbage Movie

By Amanda Hudgins • June 19th, 2017

The thirstiest of women doesn’t come out of a 5000 year dry spell and jump the actual first man she sees.

A "teenage" boy and girl lie on each other, as if caught mid make out. This is a still from the film Neon Maniacs.

Two people sitting across from each other at a table in a science fiction spaceship. They are Daniels and Oram, characters from Alien: Covenant

Alien: Covenant is an Uneven, if Good, Haunted House

By Amanda Hudgins • May 22nd, 2017
