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?

Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews Hereditary, the 2018 psychological horror movie, directed by Ari Aster & starring Toni Collette.  After the family matriarch passes away, a grieving family is haunted by tragic and disturbing occurrences, and begin to unravel dark secrets. 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?!

Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews Alita: Battle Angel, the 2019 science fiction/action movie, directed by Robert Rodriguez & starring Rosa Salazar.  A deactivated cyborg is revived, but cannot remember anything of her past life & goes on a quest to find out who she is. 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?!

Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews Brightburn, the 2019 Superhero Horror movie, directed by David Yarovesky & starring Elizabeth Banks. 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?

A homicide detective and an anthropologist try to destroy a South American lizard-like god, who's on a people eating rampage in a Chicago museum. Whoa! Sounds pretty intense... 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? How are the late-90's VFX? Will Tom Sizemore ever give a f***? Most importantly, does this movie has the coolest VHS cover art ever?

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?
