November 8, 2024November 11, 2024 Trav ... Your Movie Critic

Film Synopsis of “Heretic“→ Two young women of religion, Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) & Sister Paxton (Chloe East), are drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse in the house of an extraordinary, yet very peculiar man, Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). What Exactly Is a Heretic? When hardcore horror fans step into a theater, they often seek out obvious jump scares and the adrenaline rush from being “on the edge of their seats.” However, in the excitement of the moment, we. frequently overlook the essential themes and messages that the film…

Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors & the pressures of fame, she is forced to face her past if she wants to survive her present! Will she? We ALL know you can’t just bat your eyelashes & “smile” your way out of this one now, don’t we? Stop Smiling at Me!!!! This film was definitely a significant improvement over the first one.

September 13, 2024November 12, 2024 Trav ... Your Movie Critic

Film Synopsis of “Speak No Evil“→ The Dalton Family (Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, & Alix West Lefler) is invited to spend a whole weekend in a lonely home in the countryside, but as the weekend progresses, they realize that a dark side lies within the family (James McAvoy & Aisling Franciosi) who invited them. With No Tongues …Thou Cannot Divulge! I was impressed by James McAvoy and Aisling Franciosi’s performances in the 2022 remake. They portrayed a dynamic duo, and it was clear from the start that they…

“The Front Room” … When She’s in The Treacherous Back Bedroom!

September 6, 2024November 12, 2024 Trav ... Your Movie Critic

Film Synopsis of “The Front Room“→ It tells the story of a newly pregnant couple (Brandy Norwood & Andrew Burnap) who are forced to take in an ailing, estranged step-grandmother (Kathryn Hunter). The Front Room… The room’s prominent placement at the front of the house made the film’s title clear to me. While the movie didn’t captivate me as much as I’d hoped, it was a pleasure to see Brandy on the big screen again. However, while she delivered a solid performance, it wasn’t enough to carry…

“AfrAId” … What AIA Demands …You Will Guarantee Mind-Blowing Results!

Film Synopsis of “AfrAId“→ Curtis’ family is selected to test a new home device: a digital assistant called AIA. AIA learns the family’s behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one gets in her family’s way! Be AfrAId …Be Very, Very Afraid! The movie didn’t quite live up to our expectations. It would have been interesting to see a more menacing portrayal of the AI, drawing inspiration from the likes of Chucky or Annabelle. The premise of the film…

“A Quiet Place: Day One” … When Rage Begun!

June 28, 2024November 13, 2024 Trav ... Your Movie Critic

Film Synopsis of “A Quiet Place: Day One“→ Taking place before the first installment film, a woman named Sam (Lupita Nyong’o) must survive an invasion in New York City by bloodthirsty alien creatures with ultrasonic sound hearing! The Quiet Place: Where It All Starts From I found the introduction of the film intriguing. I was wondering where the writing team would take the prequel, showing us how the world got to be the silent place it is. When I saw the first Quiet Place film, I couldn’t…
