I have, in recent months, written Franchise Reviews for both the Alien and Scream series. They are franchises that have few truly great entries and plenty of pretty bad ones. It was quite depressing to power through those franchises and see all of the subpar outings they have had. At least Alien is currently sitting on a mostly positive note with Alien: Romulus being its most recent flick. Scream's last offering was the absolutely abhorrent Scream 7. Does anyone alive have an

I have been on vacation for almost the entirety of time from August 13th through September 2nd. And because of that and the various trips I made (South Carolina and Toronto), I watched precious little in the realm of movies. I just haven't had the time or ability.

These were efforts where there was clearly enough sentiment that they would do well in cinemas and draw in some more profit for the company, so they were released in theater months before they made their way to the service. In A Violent Nature finished with a modest bo

The Wrestler-To-Actor pipeline sure is full of twists and turns and loop-de-loops. You would think that being real time performers for whom speaking is a large part of the job, they would be able to create a screen presence and recite lines pretty easily when allowed multiple takes. And yet, as history has shown, it's anything besides a sure thing. One of the greatest and most charismatic professional wrestlers of all time, the Immortal Hulk Hogan, was notoriously bad at the
