  • Blink Twice

    Blink Twice

    ★★★½

    The Directorial debut of Zoe Kravitz brings us a psychological thriller that dares to step into the realm of what some probably envision what "Epstein Island" may have been. At least I did after watching this film. It's a film about really over stepping your boundaries with the use of your money as power. It won't be for everyone, and some will find it quite disturbing.

    Alien: Romulus

    ★★★★

    As a true "Alien" fan of the franchise as a whole I was very excited for this film. The trailers and the Director reveal had me feeling they'd go back to their roots of the Sci-Fi/Horror genre. I was right, and I was wrong. This isn't only going back to it's Sci-Fi/Horror roots, but it mixes in aspects of "Aliens" and the action that it brought to the table. It's a solid mixed cocktail of the genres in this franchise,…
