Review: My wife and I decided to spend another Saturday night at home and, instead of going out, ordered a pizza, took a break from binge-watching The Traitors and found a movie to watch. After some consideration, I picked Leprechaun Returns . I made this choice with some reluctance. While we both liked Leprechaun , most of the sequels were just terrible and I had some serious doubts about yet another film that didn't even star Warwick Davis as the title character. However, thi...

Review: My wife and I thought about seeing Heart Eyes when it was at our local cinema in February but since it was in the much older upstairs theater, with very uncomfortable chairs, we ended up watching The Monkey instead. Since this film is now available via Netflix, we finally watched it last night.  I thought it was pretty decent. There were a couple things I found I really liked about this fil...

The movie stars Dolph Lundgren , Kristina Klebe , Tony Bentley , James Chalke and Miles Doleac . Review: My wife and I had an opportunity to watch a movie last night but, since it was already starting to get late, I needed to pick one that wasn't overly long. As a result, I ended up going with this film, which I had come across on Netflix and thought looked interesting. Since I knew it was a low-budget film, I wasn't really expecting all that much from this movie. Unfortunately, even with those lowered expectations, I found I wasn't overly impressed with this film. I will start out by saying there were a couple things I did like about this film. For one, I liked the fact the demon couldn't get killed and would only continue to possess people until someone was willing to sa...
