When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
This is hands down the best zombie apocalypse movie of all time.
One of the movies that made me who I am today. I snuck out to watch this masterpiece with my buddy when I was 14 for a midnight showing way back in 1980. Riding my bike back home at 3am was probably the scariest experience of my life.
It's not as timeless as others…
Skyfall gives Casino Royale a run for its money as the best Bond film of the Daniel Craig era. Where Casino Royale is a gritty Bond origin story, Skyfall takes that same grittiness, character depth, and world building and adds the final iconic elements of a Bond movie -- the return of the gadgety Aston Martin and classic one-liners (although for once the best ones come from Q and M).
The common element of greatness between the two is how…
First of all, this is the first review I've written on my phone. And man do I suck at typing on the phone. I don't know.how you guys do it (looking at you Rizz).

It got me thinking…
""There's only so many PG-13 movies I can make before I get bored," says the filmmaker.
Thank you James Wan for saying out loud what all mother-loving horror fans are thinking every time a scene cuts away from gore or a kill in a PG-13 horror movie.
And then there's the choice quote from Wan the Man: " "You can take the boy out of horror, but you can never take the horror out [of] the boy."
The two trailers…
"I'm not a girl."
This quote by Eli can be taken several ways. The first and more obvious interpretation is that she's just reminding Oskar that she's not human. But another interpretation is the more disturbing one -- that she's not a girl because she's actually an old women -- her body may look like she's 12 but in reality she's very, very old.
If you maintain that latter interpretation throughout the movie, you realize that all of her interactions…
