Synopsis: Laine Morris doesn't believe her best friend, Debbie, killed herself and convinces both her sister and a group of friends to use Debbie's Ouija board to contact her from beyond the grave. However, instead of contacting Debbie, they inadvertently awaken the evil presence that killed her. Who's in it?   The movie stars Olivia Cooke, Ana Coto, Darren Kagasoff, Bianca Santos and Shelley Hennig. Review:  I've seen Ouija before, but I couldn't remember a whole lot about the movie, other than I didn't like it all that much. When I came across it again, I decided (as I sometimes do) to give it a second chance. My opinion of it was the same as I remembered. I think the main problem with this film is it tends to drag things out a little bit too much. Other than a couple jump scares, the movie just lacked any real action or urgency with much more buildup than was necessary to justify the very little that happened.  As a result of that, this film was just dull....

Synopsis: In the year 2045, the majority of the population finds an escape in a virtual reality world known as the Oasis. Many of them spend their time searching for three keys left behind by the world's now-deceased creator with the promise whoever finds the keys will control the Oasis. When a rival corporation pools all its resources in an effort to find the keys and essentially take control of both the Oasis and the real world, a group of gamer friends team up to stop them. They have success but their efforts also put their lives at risk. You can read my review here:  https://wizzley.com/movie-review-ready-player-one-2018/
