ANNABELLE COMES HOME REVIEW

While babysitting the daughter of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a teenager and her friend unknowingly awaken an evil spirit in a doll. Starring: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, McKenna Grace, Madison Iseman, and Katie Sarife Directed by: Gary Dauberman Written by: James Wan, and Gary Dauberman   It was like love at first fright when Annabelle debuted in “ The Conjuring .” I just knew fans needed more of her, and we’ve had more of her than I could’ve ever imagined. However, some of that love disappeared by the end of “ Annabelle Creation ” because it really sunk in that Annabelle would never be like Chucky. She draws the evil out, but never is going to be more than a creepy looking doll.    That’s made clear when “Annabelle Comes Home” begins with the Warren couple trying to bring Annabelle home. Evil spirits are drawn to her in a great scene that sets the tone for the rest of the movie. As quickly as the Warren’s make an appearance, they’re off leaving th...

THE DEAD DON'T DIE REVIEW

The peaceful town of Centerville finds itself battling a zombie horde as the dead start rising from their graves. Starring: Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tom Waits, and Chloe Sevigny Written and directed by: Jim Jarmusch  Bill Murray and Adam Driver teamed together…unusual but could work. Leading a cast of stars including, Tilda Swinton, Tom Waits, Chloe Sevigny, Danny Glover, and Selena Gomez…why not? To top if off fighting the undead…sounds good! Or maybe not!   “The Dead Don’t Die” takes place in the small town of Centerville. A very slow moving town where nothing much seems to happen. In a way, it’s kind of like the movie. The movie takes on the pace of a slow moving zombie, and never picks up. The audience will sit there waiting for that kick ass zombie fighting scene to come, but sorry it never does. Yes, there's a little zombie fighting, but there’s not much to get excited about.   Another thing the audience will be waiting for is the true Bill M...

MA REVIEW

A lonely woman befriends a group of teenagers and decides to let them party at her house. Just when the kids think their luck couldn’t get any better, things start happening that make them question the intention of their host. Starring: Octavia Spencer, Diana Silvers, and Juliette Lewis Directed by: Tate Taylor Written by: Scotty Landed   The weekend is here, and you’re looking to party! Look no further than Ma’s house! Under age drinking and drugs…no problem! Drink, dance, lock lips, take a nap, whatever…just don’t piss off Ma. Ma throws a wild party, but is “MA” the movie just as exciting?   Lets start with the obvious and commend Octavia Spencer for her portrayal of Ma. Ma never really seems normal, but Octavia takes her character from as close to normal as Ma can be to totally nuts by the end. Unfortunately the rest of the cast is just alright. The next most important role is Maggie played by Diana Silvers. Maybe it’s because she’s playing the new ...
