“The Conjuring: Last Rites”

8.2

Was it great? Of course. Was I also happy that this is the end? Also yes. A cinematic victory lap emptying out all the greatest hits, as Ed and Lorraine saddle up for one last ride. There’s a lot to like here, a lot of good scares, and a great deal of ridiculousness that gives this cinematic universe its charm. A fitting, albeit long in the tooth finale to the series.

Was “Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey” too high brow for you? Well, have I got the movie for YOU!

The rat is genuinely terrifying for a number of reasons… the story has the narrative weight of “Sharknado”… and the thing devolves into madness from the get-go. If you don’t mind losing a few brain cells and/or want to root for the downfall of Disney intellectual property now entering the public domain – this is your cinematic universe.

“Y2K”

6.7

So, Limp Bizkit’s here for some reason… and I didn’t hate it.

Pure nostalgia trying to cover for a weird mix of “21 and Over” / “Project X” meets “Small Soldiers.” It’s a wild combination, but works remarkably well, mostly because of the dedication of the cast to committing to the bit.
