We clock in to Day Shift as it seemingly looks to revitalize the vampire genre on the big screen or, in this instance, on the streaming screens. Not that the genre’s been dead, or undead for that matter, but… This surprisingly good horror comedy sets up another bloody franchise for Netflix to sink its teeth into. DAY SHIFT. (L-R) Snoop Dogg as Big John and Jamie Foxx as Bud in Day Shift. Cr. Parrish Lewis/Netflix © 2022. The ironically named Bud Jablonski, portrayed by Jamie Foxx, is a vampire hunter disguised as a pool cleaner in the mean streets of…

Bruised | Review

Kolby Mac0 CommentsReviewsBruised, Halle Berry, Netflix

Bruised but not broken, Halle Berry’s directorial debut falls to the mat early and often at the hands of a clichéd and surface level screenplay. Thankfully, it’s her leading role that allows her to beat the count. Elevated by the Oscar Winner’s star power and deeply emotional heart wrenching performance, Halle’s Career behind the camera lives to fight on. Jackie Justice was at the top of the UFC ranks until her biggest fight to date alongside a life altering decision induced a crippling panic attack that led her to leave the sport behind entirely. Depression, Alcoholism, and the daily struggle…

The Haunting of Bly Manor Review

The Haunting of Bly Manor is intoxicating! Like sitting around a campfire, or perhaps in an attic, as a child being told a ghost story. Wherever you were, do you remember how your heart would flutter filling your stomach with excitement and… worry? Wanting to listen but knowing that maybe you shouldn’t for the fear of knowing is what we knew, even then, gave life to the monsters lurking in the dark. Waiting in the empty hallways of our homes at night, or in the closets, or maybe dwelling in the uncharted space underneath our bed. But “monsters don’t exist…

The Trial of the Chicago 7 Review

Raul Navedo0 CommentsEnglish ReviewsAaron Sorkin, Film, Film Review, Netflix, Review, The Trial of the Chicago 7

The Trial of the Chicago 7 is an incredibly poignant tale about the power of protesting and of the injustice people are subjected to for doing just that. A powerful historical courtroom drama that rocks you to your core and makes you question our justice system, laugh at the fallacy of men, and fear the possibility of ever having to face a judge yourself. What was supposed to be a peaceful protest at the Democratic National Convention of 1968 turned violent as a tens of thousands of demonstrators come head-to-head with the full Chicago Police Force and the Chicago National…
