Megan (2022) Movie Review
Blumhouse Productions has generated great interest in their horror movie, "M3gan," with a marketing strategy that emphasizes the movie's ridiculousness. The title character, a four-foot-tall cyborg named M3gan, is portrayed with big doe eyes, a ratty wig, and a 50s melodrama-inspired wardrobe that suggests a closeted lesbian headmistress. Blumhouse has used well-placed GIFs and activations with women in M3gan drag to create buzz, and this strategy seems to be working. M3gan is getting more attention than the last five horror films released in early January.

We Have a Ghost (2023) Movie Review
Christopher Landon is known for creating unconventional horror films that stand out from the usual cynicism of the genre. Unlike the pretentiousness of "elevated horror," Landon infuses his filmmaking with contagious joy, as seen in movies such as "Happy Death Day," "Happy Death Day 2U," and "Freaky." Despite differing opinions on the execution and overall quality, it's undeniable that Landon has a great time making his films. His latest release, "We Have a Ghost," shines brightest when Landon is allowed to let loose and be goofy, resulting in a viewing experience that's sure to make you smile.

Knock at the Cabin (2023) Movie Review
M. Night Shyamalan's fascination with the end of the world has been a hit-or-miss affair, with his films often falling short of their potential. From the absurdity of "The Happening" to the box office flop "After Earth," his attempts to explore human behavior in the face of the apocalypse have frequently fallen flat. Unfortunately, his latest offering, "Knock at the Cabin," is no exception.

The Last of Us
So we took a longish hiatus from The Last of Us because I really need to be in the mood for this show. That said they’ve chilled out on the gross stuff and really laid into the emotion crap. And as such keeps having episodes that leave me yelling at my tv. This show refuses to stop beating my heart into a sludgy substance. It is so heartbreaking, the Walking Dead could never. I of course got attached to Henry and Sam rather quickly, more than that I got attached to Ellie and Sam. Their friendship was established fast and really it was just nice to see Ellie interact with someone closer to her own age.

Oscar Awards
So a month or so ago I gave a rundown of Oscar nominations and predictions as well as my personal hopes. So here we go, it's Oscar night and these are the winners and my thoughts. These will really only be the categories I personally care about and not all 24 categories but it will be most of them.
