The Curse of La Llorona (2019) – Film Review – “Ghost of A Genre”
At the time of writing—April 24th, 2019—this movie’s made almost $56M, global box office; figure production and marketing combo costs…looking at around $38M and some change, net profit. That’s…pretty decent, for an R-rated horror film actually swinging for a demographic target. If the studio had aimed for a PG-13 rating, they could’ve widened that broad net to the teenie crowd.
But, I digress…

Shazam! (2019) – Film Review – “Lightning In A Bottle”
See, this is what should be happening more among the DC line-up: Having fun, and experimenting with, properties and titles.
Shazam! wasn't really top-tier, to anyone who hadn’t heard of him before the hype-train started rolling for this film…all the way back when Dwayne Johnson—of course—was slated to play the titular hero. Like Marvel, DC has their backroom lounge selection of heroes and villains (and, to be quite honest, I really wanna see Condiment King on the silver screen, now!!), but that works in their favor, with this one. Director David F. Sandberg’s strength isn’t with horror—never saw Annabelle, but the feature-length iteration of Lights Out was pretty trash—it’s grounded in emotional character pieces, weaving entertaining stories that also hit us in the feels.
