Review: IT Chapter Two

Poster image of Warner Bros. Pictures' IT CHAPTER TWO

Turning a book into a film can make the process of filmmaking easier, but it can also be a bit complicated in some circumstances. In spite of its benefits, Stephen King’s It perfectly illustrates why it can be hard sometimes. One of the main reasons why this book is so tough to tackle is that it’s 1,138 pages long. There’s …

Matt Damon portrays the titular hero in 20th Century Fox's THE MARTIAN

At the time of writing this, no human has ever set foot on Mars. While that’s true, it’s a planet that we as humans have studied and analyzed for generations. One reason for that is because it gets more and more fascinating as we continue to learn about all it has to offer. The other reason could be that it’s …
