In what feels like a special extra-sized Goosebumps story, writer/director Seth Worley expands on his own short film to deliver a tale of a child’s grief brought to life in vibrant color. Following the death of his wife, Taylor Wyatt (Tony Hale) struggles with raising his two children alone. While Jack (Kue Lawrence) buries his grief like his father, his sister Amber (Bianca Belle) puts her dark thoughts into drawings of monsters in her private notebook allowing her to release her grief on to the page rather than hold it inside. However, when her notebook falls into a magical pool (don’t you just hate it when that happens?), and those creatures come to life, the entire town is attacked by bizarre monsters from a young girl’s imagination created from marker, ink, graphite, and chalk.

Red Sonja: Noir #1

/ / Comics

Calling this one-shot Noir is a bit of a stretch, although Red Sonja: Noir #1 does include a couple elements of the genre (although it’s sadly not in black-and-white). Introduced as a one-off story in which Red Sonja‘s short-term partnership with the brigand Tasmin comes to a close when he’s felled while accepting a job from a femme fatale named Shauna who gives Sonja a sob story, none of which is true.

Small Soldiers

Originally intended to be  slightly edgier teenage fair until the studio decided to make it more fan friendly during production in order to cash-in on promotional tie-ins, 1998’s Small Soldiers became a mix of those two concepts leading to a lukewarm reaction by both critics and moviegoers. You can certainly see director Joe Dante struggling to serve both masters, especially given how much of the film was shot prior to the imposed change in direction.

Eddington

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Eddington
  • IMDb: link

Writer/director Ari Aster‘s latest is an absurdist dark comedy where the humor comes from the stupidity and poor decision-making of its characters. And, oh boy, do we get some stupid decisions from its characters. Set in the town of Eddington, New Mexico, during the COVID-19 lockdown, we’re introduced to an entire town of incredibly dumb characters all following their own agendas while shouting their opinions at each other and rarely, if ever, truly listening to another person. In some ways, Aster has brought Internet discourse to life which, while intriguing, isn’t always interesting.
