A fight ensues between the… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Alien vs. Predator: Requiem”
Scary Movies: Alien vs. Predator
My teenage son has really latched onto the Alien horror franchise and is determined to watch every one, apparently no matter the quality. Hence, Alien vs. Predator, which we watched a few weeks ago. Unlike the other Alien movies, this one is set on… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Alien vs. Predator”
Ranking: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Scary Movies: Tremors
My son was really interested in watching this scary movie, billed on Starz as being an action-comedy-horror, so I agreed to watch it with him. I think it’s indicative of the quality of the movie that I realized about ten minutes into it that… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Tremors”
