A follow up to the Happy Death day successes, this film takes on a new horror meets magic hijinks combo. A murderous Freaky Friday with an a la “The Hot Chick” plot. Vince Vaughn pulls off an unsettlingly believable teen girl trapped in a middle aged man’s body and vice versa for Kate Newton. While the concept is enjoyable, the plot lacks thickness. But this is made up for with original murder scenes full of much more graphic gore than its predecessors and well executed comedic devices. Definitely a fun watch for those without a weak stomach on a dark Friday the 13th night.

A watchable, modern take on the Final Destination meets Ring movie type (having a countdown and trying to outrun death). It’s a fun watch for a teen sleepover or if you’re bored and alone on a Friday night and don’t want to get too scared before bed. I do feel like the build up and suspense could have been better, it feels very quick and the thrill is dampened by too many close ups of a not so scary demon face. But all in all it’s an entertaining ride with a cool concept and some likable/ familiar actors. Plus if you’re daring and non-superstitious there’s a free app in the App Store so you can play along and make the creepy factor hit a little closer to home.

Like the pie maker, Bryan Fuller has a magic touch. One that often seems a blessing and a curse. He brings stories to life with beauty, charm, and whimsy. But unfortunately it seems that those lives are quickly snuffed out by the network execs. assumedly after they see the bill, as the ratings and critics generally rave. Pushing Daises to me is his pièce de résistance. He created a wonderful world full of 60's pop art colors, visual masterpieces, and characters who feel like friends. It is with great sadness that I admit it has likely been too long for a proper resurrection. But that doesn't mean the show has to stay buried. It will likely live on like short lived but loved shows before it, on a loop in it's adoring fans hearts.

While many a critic might peg Don’t Look Up as a bloated satire whose points land as chaotically as the fragments of its comet, I believe they misunderstand the agenda of its creators. Don’t Look Up is not subtle but what it lacks in subtly, it makes up in accessibility to all audiences and age group. It’s cast may be over flowing with A Listers from Boomers to Gen Z and is sure to draw everyone from your younger siblings to your grandmother in. The jokes and the points are relatable to a wide viewership, the comedy and acting is on it’s A-Game, and the existential dread and disgust that is created through an accurate representation of our societal issues is crafted and executed masterfully. I highly recommend this to anyone, and I mean anyone.

I'm not huge into romantic comedies but whenever Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler get together I can't help but feel my heart warmed. While it does have it's cheesy moments, it's a feel good movie with charming characters, funny moments, and a lovable story. Honestly it has become one of my favorite "go to's" whenever i'm having a bad day. So for those who are skeptical give it a chance, plus you can never go wrong with Billy Idol!
