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.

Not much I can say about this one past what the trailer portrays… It’s weird, and you’ll be shaking your head most of the movie…
7.8
Definite Stephen King and definitely more brutal than I expected. I didn’t expect quite so much blood… A really good psychological thriller from the master, with a great cast all turning in noteworthy performances. Solid kickstart to horror season for 2025.
8.2
How they seamlessly patched together such a solid romantic comedy with a slasher, I’ll never know… but here we are! It was so adorable and then so abhorrent, and then back. I couldn’t believe how intense it got in some sequences, or how hard I laughed at others. Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding’s chemistry is ELECTRIC, which really helps this thing cook. A perfect date-night movie with your arm candy… even if it’s a popcorn bucket.
6.6
Ghost POV was a fun ride… I could have done without the constant threat of witnessing a sexual assault, but the rest of the movie was so-so to almost solid. There were just so many unnecessary tangents and strange side quests that distract from what could have been a truly original and cool film. IT ends up being kind of predictable and overall “meh.” Also, be careful of mirrors. Pro tip.
