The Secret to Horror: Candyman
What’s the secret to good horror movies: character development. Create three-dimensional characters and give your audience time and space to bond with them so the audience has reason to care when things happen to them. Nia DaCosta fails in this aspect. Instead of pushing us to bond with the main character she tries to force us to feel something for the film’s central social issue. It’s visually stunning but thematically loose, but more importantly…it’s not scary.

The Social Commentary: The Menu
Every film has something to say, but some say it better than others. "The Menu" is a conversation about wealth, inequality, and the divide between the haves and have-nots. Why this film didn't get more Oscar attention is beyond me, but let's talk about it.

A Haunting in Venice - Film Review
World Peace could flow from his fingertips, and he'll still be Gilderoy Lockhart to me. This visually stunning supernatural mystery is entertaining and well-acted but missing something. I can't put my finger on it.

Exploring Sci-Fi: Dune
I enjoy most film genres, but sci-fi and fantasy have always been the most difficult. I get distracted by the visuals and all the extra, and I have difficulty finding an anchor in the plot. Dune Part 2 is coming out in March, and I want to see it, but I have to get through Part One first. I watched it, I enjoyed it, and I want to talk about it.

Film Review: The Nun II
I'm not asking for a lot with horror movies, just a little carnage and a few years off my life. Scare me and I can forgive everything else. The Conjuring Universe has yet to let me know, and while The Nun II isn't perfect, it scared the MESS out of me.

Film Analysis: Twister
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Two Dollar Tuesdays because it sounds slightly cooler than Throwback Thursdays. Allow me to introduce you to my introduction to the study of film. My first "film" class was a high school elective called "Film as Literature" and one of the first films we watched was the 1996 film, Twister. While it might seem like an odd choice, it has all the classic elements writers and filmmakers use to tell stories. This movie ruined me for all of movie-watching eternity, and I'm here to pay it forward. Buckle up!

Film Review: The Hill
Message heavy, low quality. That's what I expect from faith-based films, and this isn't any different. "The Hill" has moments of cheese and cringe, but it does what it needs to do. It's a great over-dinner conversation starter.

#MovieTok: The New Critics on the Block
Social Media is the future whether we like it or not. It's how people are connecting and how they're getting information, including their film reviews. The NY Times interviewed a few film content creators to get their take on this shift in the film journalism industry. I don't believe the article correctly articulates what #MovieTok is and its role in this ever-changing industry.

Rachel Zegler and the Foot in Her Mouth
Disney's next live-action remake, Snow White, doesn't come out until March 2024 and is already on a downward spiral. Interviews from September 2022 made their way to social media a few weeks ago and they have people of all shapes, shades, and opinions asking questions. Rachel Zegler, who plays the titular character, really stuck her foot in it and the timing couldn't be worse.
