REVIEW: ‘Haunted Mansion’ better than 2003 classic

JOEY FRANKLIN August 9, 2023

REVIEW: ‘Barbie,’ the satirical second half of Barbenheimer

JOEY FRANKLIN August 2, 2023

REVIEW: ‘Oppenheimer,’ story of the atomic bomb’s creator

JOEY FRANKLIN July 26, 2023

I am going to just come out and say that this is the best movie that I have probably ever seen in the movie theater. A three-hour movie seemed to take maybe half that time; “Oppenheimer” was immersive...

REVIEW: ‘Asteroid City’: What in the world did I just watch?

JOEY FRANKLIN June 28, 2023

Wow. I can confidently say that I have never seen anything quite like “Asteroid City,” and I am not sure I will ever see anything like it again. I will start with the visuals. Like every movie directed...

REVIEW: ‘The Flash’: Walk, don’t run to the theater

JOEY FRANKLIN June 21, 2023

I want to start this review by saying, Michael Keaton’s return as Batman was the best part of “The Flash”; it was really fun to have Danny Elfman’s “Batman” theme peppered throughout the scenes...

REVIEW: ‘The Boogeyman’: Keep your lights on!

JOEY FRANKLIN June 12, 2023

I knew very little about this movie before I went to the theater and watched it. I am not claiming to be a horror movie aficionado, but I am not easily rattled by scary movies anymore. I watched most...
