It’s January so most moviegoers know this is what we call “dump month”, it’s where films like the new horror reboot, Wolf Man go to die. That’s right, this is not a rare January horror gem like MEGAN. Unfortunately, filmmaker Leigh Whannell fails to bring the wit and care he has provided in his past films.

Audiences seemed to have mixed feelings about the songs performed in Joker Folie a Deux. This might have to do with the fact that the original film was not a musical and the unexpected addition to the serious drama feels a little out of place. The original film was not even meant to have a sequel, but maybe having Lady Gaga sign on to play the iconic Harley Quinn, was a musical opportunity that director Todd Phillips couldn’t pass up.

Beetlejuice is back! The original film was released in 1988 and now Michael Keaton returns to reprise his iconic role. Surprisingly, the sequel is better than the first movie. I recently rewatched the original, which I loved as a kid, and it didn’t quite hold up and should not have been rated PG. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is appropriately rated PG-13, and it has an engaging fun story from the start.

We’re staying on the topic of films but moving from “under the sea” to “above ground” weather disasters. This week, I review the sequel to an iconic cult classic that made us even more afraid of Texas tornadoes. The original film, Twister, starring Helen Hunt and the late Bill Paxton, was released in 1996. Now 28 years later, a sequel to what was already considered a visually groundbreaking thriller, makes a whirlwind return with even more impactful storms.
