Bayona, & starring Chris Pratt & Bryce Dallas Howard.  When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen & Claire mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Sounds pretty ridiculous! But does it somehow manage to be even better than Spielberg's classic original film?! Is Chris Pratt still the coolest guy in the galaxy? Is Claire the best written character of the decade? How many tears will we shed over these dinosaurs?! Is this the best plot in the franchise? Have there ever been better side-characters in a movie?

Many have touted this as the scariest film of the decade! But can it even compare to the likes of Get Out, The Witch, or The Babadook? Deep, dark drama is used to mentally cripple you, and then the real horror imagery shows up! But is it a good story? Does it make sense? Is it too 'slow'?  Is there a worse nightmare than the one contained in this very divisive modern horror classic? Most importantly, what's up with that finale?!

Sounds simple enough. Especially for a fantasy epic, set in space, produced AND written by the one & only James Cameron.  But did he pay enough attention to his scriptwriting amidst all his Avatar business? Is the giant budget to make Alita look manga-accurate justified? Is her story one worth telling? This movie has a great cast...are they well-utilized? How's the action? Who asked for this phantom menace villain? Does Mahershala Ali have the cool factor to play Marvel's Blade? Did that ending really just do that?! Most importantly, is this a backdoor MegaMan movie??

An ex-hit-man comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that killed his dog and took everything from him. Keanu is easily one of the most recognizable action stars in film history! But did he truly strike gold with this new update on the classic action sub-genre? Is Michael Nyqvist an acceptable villain for Wick? Do they just cheaply manipulate with that dog scene? Are there too many headshots? Is it believable?  Most importantly, is it the best action movie of all-time?!

What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister? What if a child aspired to something darker? This movie has a premise that practically writes itself (for several reasons...), but does this satisfy BOTH as a comic book film and an R-rated horror flick? How are the scares? How evil is this kid? How gory are the kills? How epic is the story? Is there a fatality that would put Cyclops to shame? Most importantly, how long do you keep ignoring how creepy your child is?

The legendary Gojira returns! In this modern American remake, and birth of the MonsterVerse, the King of the Monsters' story begins. But can Americans make good Godzilla movies? Is this Godzilla more worthy than Roland Emmerich's giant iguana? Is Aaron Taylor-Johnson a great leading man? Will Bryan Cranston ever get a Walter White-level role again?

But do they have the movie monster to back that premise up? Does the concept of 'Jurassic Park with an R Rating' succeed? Are the characters boring? Is the mystery basic? How are the kills?

Then you might really dig this!  Robin 'The Hood' is back once again to steal cliche villain lines from Sheriff Nottingham and give badass action to us. But does Eggsy have enough movie stardom to carry a 'new' franchise? How's this Nottingham? How many arrows can one person fire in a second? How many sequel setups can you spot?

But was sacrificing a 3rd Guillermo Del Toro installment worth this R-rated reboot? Is David Harbour a great fit for the character? Where's Abe Sapien? How's the action? Is the gore splatterific?

A masked serial killer turns a horror-themed amusement park into his own personal playground, terrorizing a group of friends while the rest of the patrons believe that it is all part of the show. Sounds like perfect B-slasher movie material! Does it provide the kills us slasher fans love to indulge in? Does it use it's theme park setting well? Is it a Final Destination wanna-be? Is the killer iconic? How's the music? Are our characters just a bunch of stereotypical cutouts? Most importantly, how about that ending?...

Syfy has brought him back for his 8th night of killing...but should he have stayed deep down that smelly well? This is a direct sequel to the original film (starring Jennifer Aniston).

It's not hard for a big budget shark movie to be fun (Deep Blue Sea obvs), so can a huge budget and Statham's charisma make this the best shark movie ever? Does Statham have a character?

She finally gets big-budget justice. But does it satisfy? (Obviously). Is it the best DC movie? What's the villain situation? Is Chris Pine dreamy? Is Zack Snyder's love for gods and destruction all over this movie? Where's the invisible jet? Most importantly, why did she skip WWII?!

Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews Us, the 2019 horror film, directed by Jordan Peele & starring Lupita Nyong'o. With his sophomoric effort, Peele is determined to create another award-worthy horror movie. A family's serenity turns to chaos when a group of doppelgängers begins to terrorize them. Sounds like a recipe for another mind-bender! But does it come together with as great a story as Get Out? Does Lupita have what it takes to carry a slasher movie? (Trick question - the answer is obviously). Is Jordan Peele a new master of horror? What's up with those red outfits? Is Winston Duke just Homer from The Simpsons? Most importantly, can 'I Got 5 On It' get any effing creepier?! SPOILERS BEGIN at 13:23 Watch Us on Amazon Support the show by giving us a review on iTunes Would you like to know more?

Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews Aquaman, the 2018 DC action/adventure movie, directed by James Wan & starring Jason Mamoa, Amber Heard & Nicole Kidman. Arthur Curry, the human-born heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, goes on a quest to prevent a war between the worlds of ocean and land. But is it a worthy quest? Does Khal Drogo have what it makes to anchor a big-budget solo film? Is Black Manta as cool as he looks? Does James Wan bring his horror mastery to DC? IS THAT NICOLE KIDMAN IN ACTION?! Most importantly, is this the best DCEU film? SPOILERS BEGIN at 12:13 Watch Aquaman on Amazon Support the show with a review on iTunes Would you like to know more? Visit our Home. 

Join Jeff & Chris as they drunkenly analyze & review Venom, the 2018 mega-anticipated action/horror comic book movie, directed by Reuben Fleischer & starring Tom Hardy. Eddie Brock, a failed reporter, is bonded to an alien entity, one of many symbiotes who have invaded Earth. But the being takes a liking to Earth and decides to protect it. Sounds like the ultimate Spider-Man villain we all know and love, right? Wrong. You haven't seen Venom like this. You could've never imagined a Venom movie being good without Spidey or even Carnage. And you were right.  Does this long-awaited feature role satisfy? Is it better than Spider-Man 3? Who's got the worst wig? Who knows why he's called Venom. Who knows why Jenny Slate was used like this? Who knows why Venom is an anti-hero?  And WHO SOLD EMINEM'S SOUL TO THE DEVIL?!

With a reimagined origin story of the uber-famous Dragon Ball Z, we are officially introduced to the legendary super saiyan, Broly. He may be the most raw & powerful being in the multiverse...but is he strong enough to beat both Vegeta AND Goku? Is this an accessible story to mainstream audiences? Is it a story worthy of a feature film? Are the fights epic? Just how much does Broly scream? Could Frieza get any more evil? How long does Vegeta need to learn fusion?  Most importantly, who wins the universe-shattering fight?

Jackson & Bruce Willis.  Worlds collide as we follow up both Unbreakable & Split with a drama/action film that ooooozes M. Night Shyamalan's sudden secret universe.

Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews Triple Frontier, Netflix's 2019 action/thriller film directed by JC Chandor & starring Oscar Isaac, Ben Affleck & Charlie Hunnam. Five former special forces operatives reunite to steal a drug lord's fortune, unleashing a chain of unintended consequences & challenging their deepest morals. Netflix is really stepping it up! Enlisting an A-level cast & crew to deliver a deeper-then-expected heist film. Does the action deliver? Can this exceptional cast tear down their genre stereotypes? Is Charlie Hunnam just Jax from Sons of Anarchy? Wait...Is Ben Affleck a great actor? Most importantly, did they really think this heist out?

Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews Escape Room, the 2019 horror/thriller movie directed by Adam Robitel & starring Taylor Russell. Six strangers accept an invitation to a deadly game of mystery rooms and must conquer their darkest secrets in order to survive. It's a January movie (not a good sign right?) but it's got a premise that's easy to deliver on. Are the deaths satisfying? Are the characters likable? Is the story ridiculous? Is there a twist? Is Karen from Daredevil any more tolerable? Most importantly, how bad is that sequel setup??  SPOILERS BEGIN at 13:19  Watch Escape Room on Amazon Support the show by giving us a review on iTunes Would you like to know more? Visit our Home.

Join Chris, Jeff & Vincent as they analyze & review (with FULL SPOILERS) Predator, the classic 1987 action horror film directed by John McTiernan & starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in the prime of his cigar-chomping career. We enter the Central American jungle to follow Dutch & his badass rescue crew as they are hunted by one of the most iconic creatures in cinematic history. This is a supremely confident, mega-machismo war movie..but there's a hint of horror..then it's a gloriously gory slasher with beach ball biceps..& then it becomes the greatest showdown put to screen! ..or is it? Was that opening shot a mistake? Is Bill Duke's performance secretly the best part of the movie? Do Dutch & the Colonel have a hidden past? Is that the most undignified death scream we've ever heard? That 3rd act. Kinda memorable, right? But was it the best choice for the story? Is it even a good fight? Is there a better battle cry in film?

Join Chris & Vincent as they analyze & review (with FULL SPOILERS) Spider-Man 3, the 2007 blockbuster comic book movie trilogy capper starring Tobey MaGuire & directed by Sam Raimi. We end our journey of the original Marvel Spidey film trilogy with a hilarious breakdown of the one of the most anticipated blockbusters of all-time. In this 3rd & final chapter of the Raimi series we get fired up as Sony begins butchering the name of Spider-Man! Things are going spectacularly well for Peter Parker until he discovers a secret about Uncle Ben's murder & must deal with the consequences Harry Osborn's revenge. On top of that, we get the big screen realization of the classic villain, Sandman! Oh, also the black ooze of plot from Prometheus makes a cameo. We've got a multitude of characters & an emotional ending to dissect, fast & furious Spidey action to praise, an iconic black suit to fanboy over, a jazz club scene to loathe, franchise rankings & thoughts, James Franco's distracting lazy eye & a very oddly placed Bruce Campbell cameo. Is that an amnesia plot thread in our trilogy ender!? Can James Franco sell both being a villain & a goofy love triangle? Is Sandman a worthy villain? Is Flint Marko even a character? What's with Peter Parker being a domestic abuser? How bad does Kirsten Dunst want out of this movie? How bad does Eddie Brock want in? Will Sam Raimi ever answer Venom's phone calls?

Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews (with FULL SPOILERS) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - the 2014 science fiction film sequel starring the great Andy Serkis & directed by Matt Reeves. This is the middle chapter of the rebooted Caesar trilogy. The 2nd entries in most trilogies are usually considered to be the best of their respective franchises - does that apply to Dawn? We join Caesar in his struggle to avoid War in a time of inevitable desperation. We've got Andy Serkis with a deeply nuanced performance, stunning VFX & a great Shakespearean setup for the villain. Our new independent ape community deals with a dramatic descension as Koba struggles with his tortured past & we witness the true ramifications of the simian flu. Koba & Caesar are forced to battle for the future of the apes ideology. Finally, we get our epic action scenes, with humans versus machine gun-wielding Apes.. on horses!
