Review: Jumanji: The Next Level

By Jaskee Hickman
December 12, 2019
in :  Reviews
Karen Gillan, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black star in Sony Pictures' JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL

Although Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was fantastic, my expectations for the sequel immediately following it were low. In the back of my mind, I saw Jumanji: The Next Level as potentially being just another grab at cash since the one before it made far more money than anyone could have anticipated. Luckily, I can report that this sequel is …

Owen Vaccaro, Jack Black, and Cate Blanchett star in Universal Pictures' THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS

If executed properly, The House with A Clock in Its Walls could have possibly become a surprise hit.

Review: Goosebumps (2015)

By Deirdre Crimmins
October 16, 2015
in :  Reviews
(L-r) Jack Black, Odeya Rush and Dylan Minette star in Columbia Pictures' GOOSEBUMPS

For most of the 1990s R. L. Stine had the market for scary children’s literature. The current cultural preoccupation with the 1990s and the Halloween season make this a perfect time to revisit the Goosebumps book series and all of the characters it birthed. What better way to do this than a fun big-budget film? Goosebumps begins with a family …
