September is the month when not many hits come out in movie theaters, but if you're willing to take a chance, you can still find a few hidden gems. Let me introduce you to a couple of movies that might be worth a $5/$6 movie night if you want to head to your local theater. This weekend, The Weight and Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom came out, and I think both are worth sitting down with a bag of popcorn, turning off the phone, and relaxing for a couple of hours. Th

Spoiler alert...Resident Evil is actually a comedy. Resident Evil (2026) You read that correctly. I mean, YES, it is a horror movie, but my only gripe is that it is almost too funny for a horror movie. For those who aren't aware, Resident Evil was a Japanese horror video game that has spawned six movies starring Milla Jovovich, a separate 2021 movie, and a Netflix series, plus comic books, novels, blah blah blah.

However, MJ also has a complicated past. Body dysmorphia, sleepovers with little kids, odd relationships… Those who want to go back and relive those moments from his era, enjoying the music, experiencing the MTV video a

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was a disappointment. Actually, even worse, it was a bore. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Maybe it’s because the first one was a pleasant surprise, but the sequel fell victim to what most sequels do…too much visual, not enough story. Mario and the gang are on a quest to find and help Princess Rosalina, but with a lack of dialogue and too many characters to spread out the thin dialogue, you're find yourself checked out. I guess if you're a Yos
