Review: "Fresh"
Fresh starts off making a commentary on how stale and gross online dating can be. In many ways, the way people view people on these apps ends up the same way as we look at meat. All of this takes place rather quickly in the beginning as the viewer is treated to seeing Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) as she goes out with a loser from her bland menu of endless app scrolling. The date goes poorly but it doesn’t stop her from losing hope of finding love. It is an intriguing start that seems a bit ho-hum but quickly takes a turn into a horror-comedy that will certainly surprise audiences.

Review: "The Adam Project"
The Adam Project is a big film for the giant streaming service in Netflix that delivers in what it promises to its viewers. Filled to the brim with star talent, you can expect to have a few good laughs watching this film along with an enjoyable ride throughout the runtime. However, a lot of the Netflix original films haven’t been well-recieved by critics up until this one. A lot of that can be attributed to writer and director Shawn Levy allowing Ryan Reynolds, the film’s star, to do what he does best. Beyond the humor you could come to expect from a Ryan Reynolds-led movie, The Adam Project features some shiny action sequences along with some softer and quieter heartwarming moments.

Review: "Scream"
The original Scream struck a chord among horror fans alike that spent time thinking about John Carpenter’s Halloween and other slasher films and how all of them had similar pitfalls. The original Scream was horror-comedy at its finest along with how it made fun of the genre. Kevin Willamson and Wes Craven created some unique in a failing genre. Fast forward from 1996, to now, and the conversation about the genre has again shifted. The slasher films have become less popular in favor of thought-provoking horror, however, this installment of the beloved series comes off as a “re-quel” that acts as a love letter to the franchise and to Wes Craven the original director. Clearly, James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick crafted this film with the original Scream in mind to pay homage to Craven, who passed away but they wanted to do so in such a way that feels consistent with Williamson and Craven’s voice but also distinct enough with its own flare that is more in line with the times. At times, it works well, but mostly, it feels largely too familiar and predictable.
