"The Old Ways,'' is a super creepy Indigenous-themed film that made my skin crawl in the best way.

Definitely a movie worth watching and enjoying. In so many ways, The Suicide Squad' lives up to its name, but I am starting to see the formulaic nature of superhero movies, which is worrisome.

Chris Pratt is likable enough in this unique action-packed film, but it wasn't serious enough to be a super-thriller, or funny enough to be an action-comedy.

Super fun, super funny, and though a bit formulaic, it's like riding a roller coaster that you would never tire of. Kate Beckinsale owns it, delivers it and smiles with a gun hidden behind her back.

A truly great horror film with jump scares and creepy content galore, but it's a bit like "The Exorcist" if combined with "The Walking Dead," thus some horror got left a bit behind.
