"It’s not a fun journey, but the ending of the film, inevitable cameos and all, redeems a lot of what came before it."

"I saw this movie yesterday and I had to look up at least 75% of the characters’ names for that plot description, and I don’t just mean for spelling."

“Halloween Kills” does offer some good gory horror violence, if you’re into that sort of thing.

"This will be Craig’s last turn as James Bond, and it feels right."

"As with the first film, the action is all CGI muck."

If you’re a fan of the Conjuring Universe, you’ll probably “like” “The Devil Made Me Do It.” You probably won’t “love” it, because it doesn’t do enough to stand out

“A Quiet Place Part II” is a taut film, with no time wasted on nonsense like phony jump scares.
