Oscar 2017 – The ‘Other’ Oscar

Review – Get Out

Review – Get Out

2016 was a spectacular year for horror films, giving us a number of smart, violent, scary films unlike any we had seen before.  If Get Out is any indication of the horror movies we are going to get in 2017, we are in for an even better year. Get Out is a wildly original, incredibly smart, genuinely scary, and twistedly funny horror film with an uncomfortable amount of realism. In Get Out, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), a black…

Review – Fifty Shades Darker

Review – Fifty Shades Darker

Before going in to Fifty Shades Darker, I had only seen about twenty minutes of the first film, Fifty Shades of Grey (2015).  I turned the movie off because, well, it was awful.  I was fortunate enough to watch Grey at home, that way, I could turn it off or leave if I hated it.  Not so much luck with Darker, where I actually went to a theater, paid money, and sat in said theater for two hours and…
