Ranking The Entire “Jurassic Park” Series

With the release of Jurassic World: Dominion, we now have the conclusion of not just the Jurassic World trilogy, but of the franchise overall (assuming Universal isn’t tempted to do another one).  It all started with a Michael Crichton novel, one whose movie rights were sold before the book was even published. And what it became was one of the highest grossing films of all … Continue reading Ranking The Entire “Jurassic Park” Series

“Prometheus” 10 Years Later – Was It Really That Bad?

After a duo of poorly received sequels, it seemed that the Alien franchise was dead, save for a two spinoff crossovers with Predator.  Then in 2012, the xenomorph’s original creator Ridley Scott returned for a prequel that promised to bring prestige, and qualify back to a series that had long been suffering.

Why “Dear Billy” is the Greatest Episode That Stranger Things Has Ever Done

Fans of Stranger Things waited patiently for 3 years to finally get a fourth season.  And while Netflix has only released the first seven episodes, their extended runtimes and whopping $30 million budget (per episode) has resulted in a season that some are claiming is as good as the first. While there’s certainly more going on and a much higher CGI budget, it’s the character … Continue reading Why “Dear Billy” is the Greatest Episode That Stranger Things Has Ever Done

Ridley Scott’s Alien has always been on people’s “Best Of” lists when it comes to horror/sci-fi movies.  And its sequel Aliens is widely regarded as one of (if not the) greatest movie sequels in history.  So to say that this franchise was iconic from the start would be an understatement.  That said, the next two entries, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection suffered from both critical … Continue reading Why “Alien: Covenant” Failed to Save the Franchise (5 Years Later)

Stranger Things Season 4 Vol. 1 – An Exercise in Excess (Spoiler Free Review)

After three long years of waiting, partially due to an obvious global setback and partially due to a longer production schedule, Stranger Things Season 4 has finally been released.  Or at least the first 7 episodes have.  Volume 1 serves as essentially the first and second acts to a season far more brutal and complex than we’ve seen thus far.
