By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor So, I was a bit late to the Terrifier franchise. As a horror fan, it was something that was on my radar, but I never took the leap into it. I was fully aware of Art The Clown but honestly assumed he was just another psychotic killer behind a mask, something I had seen so […]

By Kevin Hoskinson Entertainment Editor The first Inside Out was a revelation of sorts for a lot of people. Everybody could relate to the story of eleven-year-old Riley and the emotions running wild in her head. Even after you grow out of that phase in your life and think you better grasp those emotions, life hits you with curve balls, […]
By Kevin HoskinsonEntertainment Editor It’s hard to believe, but the Bad Boys franchise is almost 30 years old now. It’s also hard to believe that stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence would be reprising the roles that shot them to stardom after this long and doing it with style. What’s even harder to believe is that the films would be […]

By Kevin HoskinsonEntertainment Editor A few years back, I watched a film called Ghostwatch. It had been on my radar for a long time, but the opportunity to finally watch it presented itself when my wife and kids were out of town for the evening. Ghostwatch is a British mocumentaty that aired on Halloween night in 1992 across the pond. […]

While they weren’t the first to incorporate comedy into the horror genre, they were the first to be taken into the mainstream […]
By Kevin HoskinsonEntertainment Editor It’s hard to go into a movie that so much has already been said about with an open mind. Whether it’s good or bad, the opinions of others often cast a massive shadow over particular films, and Madame Web is a great example of that. With the exception of the animated Spider-Verse films, the Sony Spidey-centric […]

By Kevin HoskinsonEntertainment Editor THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER isn’t nearly as bad as other critics want you to think it is. Is it the Exorcist sequel we have held our breath for all these years? Not really. But considering nobody asked for a new entry in the franchise, it seems counterproductive to think it was going to be. It’s an exorcism […]
By Kevin HoskinsonEntertainment Editor The Saw franchise is one that has seemingly done everything it can do with its premise. It quickly became about the traps and how each installment could outdo the next, with each one getting bloodier and more depraved. It’s hard for a franchise ten films in to find a fresh take that is unique and hasn’t […]
