Firestarter 2022
With the initial 1984 film adaptation already staying very close to Stephen King's rich source material, a newer and different take on the story decades later should be promising, but Blumhouse's Firestarter ultimately fails to ignite any sparks, resulting in a shockingly choppy mess that simultaneously feels unfinished and reeks of heavy re-editing.

Collateral Beauty is not only one of the worst films I’ve seen all year but also one of worst written films I’ve ever seen period. It amazes me how studio executives, a decent director, and such an amazing cast and crew took one look at this horrible, horrible script and…
