Could have bought a house by now but instead I went to the movies. Thoughts are unfortunately my own.

Underwater Review – K-Stew’s Heavy Breathing Cannot Salvage this Empty Vessel

Hagan Osborne
January 22, 2020
Reviews
The bottom of the ocean contains more than just a sparkling blue diamond belonging to Kate Winslet. Released under the studio formerly known as 20th Century Fox, Underwater is a sci-fi horror where monolith...

1917 Review – A Long Shot in Stakes and Filmmaking

Reviews
It is the First World War.  The unnerving silence of a quaint French town - now occupied by German military forces - is interrupted by the sound of invading soldiers making howling commands. The fall o...

Wrinkles the Clown Review – A Glimpse into the Rise of a Petrifying Figure

Hagan Osborne

In 2014, the eerie surveillance footage of a demented looking clown known as Wrinkles appearing from beneath a sleeping child's bed had spread across the internet faster than you could say Bloody Mary three ti...

Good Boys Review – Good Boys, Even Better Examples

Hagan Osborne
September 19, 2019

Downton Abbey Review – An Elaborate Film with Impeccable Performances

Hagan Osborne
September 12, 2019
Reviews
