New Releases: Scream – Usually January is a dead in the water month for big releases but in 2022 we’re getting the horror year kicked off early because a slasher franchise heavyweight is coming back to theaters and fans, such as myself, are really excited about it.

New Releases: The 355 – The beginning of January is usually the time where studios slot in the films that they are unsure of the market for and that feels very fitting for this new all ladies espionage action film that boasts a pretty good cast.

New Releases: Ghostbusters: Afterlife – The Ghostbusters have had a dicey ride through the reboot or continuation prism as the film from 2016 wasn’t well received at all, with many fans deriding it as destroying their childhoods and other such lame opinions. Now, the son of original director Ivan Reitman, Jason Reitman has continued the …
