RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET [Review]: Toxic Avengers.

Very rarely are sequels better than the original. Ralph Breaks the Internet is that rare sequel. Directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston, fresh off of the critical and commercial success of 2016’s Zootopia, bring us the sequel to 2012’s Wreck-it Ralph. The sequel catches up with Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) roughly …

HALLOWEEN (2018) [Review]: No Trick; This One’s A Treat.

What's happening, peoples? It's your boy ‘The Belser’ and I’m back on the movie review tip after a bit of a hiatus.

The newest installment …

MANDY [Movie Review]: Two Halves Of The Same Coin.

Panos Cosmatos' Mandy was released last week, streaming on most VOD services, and enjoying a brief foray into theaters. From the first moment the trailer hit, to the announcement that star Nicolas Cage was involved (and instructed to do his wacky best), the excitement was palpable. Sitting in a packed theater at New York City's …

THE PREDATOR [Film Review]: Trophy Hunting for Trash.

The Predator is borderline horrendous and you should be mad about it. Ignore the AVP films since they’re basically two violent excursions into rocket propelled and orifice swelling cases of diarrhea that shat their way down into the sewer and were flushed into non-existence, but the Predator franchise is basically three films; Predator, Predator 2, …
