Don’t let the title and movie poster fool you. Saturday the 14th is not as much fun as it seems like it would be.

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) | Movie Review
Friday the 13th Part 2 is likely the film most people think of when referencing this iconic series, but not even close to the best slasher film out there. Though it does have its charms.
How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019) | Movie Review
Fortunately, How To Train Your Dragon 3 isn’t just a cheap cash grab. It completes a story.
Fist Fight (2017) | Movie Review
Fist Fight tries to turn into a story about learning to stand up for yourself, while attempting to hold commentary on the problems within the public school system–both overdone themes.
Green Book (2018) | Movie Review
On paper, you can tell exactly where Green Book is going. It’s essentially a story of a white man who drives around a black man in 1962’s deep south. Prior to getting the gig, the white man, Tony (Viggo Mortensen), has his prejudices about black people. Can you guess what’s going to happen next?

Mary Poppins Returns (2018) | Movie Review
Prior to watching Mary Poppins Returns, we are fully aware that what made the original 1964 movie so great was Julie Andrews, herself, as the title character.
Venom (2018) | Movie Review
Venom is an unusual superhero film in that it’s more of an anti-hero story. Other than the below-the-radar Punisher movies, we haven’t really gotten one this mainstream from Marvel.
