"Black Christmas" (2019)


Whatever.
At first glance, before you start the trailer, you'd think it would be a Madea movie, or one of those black holiday comedies starring Queen Latifah and Taye Diggs. Instead, it's a rehash of Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. Sacrificing a sorority to preserve the college's soul? Come on, man, that's been done. (This was before I found out that it's a reboot.)
Also, I am starting to get sick of horror, disaster, and crime movies taking place on Christmas. Die Hard did it, and it was awesome. But Die Hard 2 did it, and it was not fun anymore. What doesn't help is that we keep doing it. I Am Legend, Iron Man 3, Silent Night Deadly Night, the one where Santa is evil, Krampus. Go ruin another holiday. There are no Thanksgiving movies. Start killing people then. Have someone light up near a Macy's Thanksgiving Parade balloon and explode a whole block.
In theaters: December 13, 2019

Taking a Break!

Since theaters are closed and movie premieres are being pushed back because of the Coronavirus, I will be taking a break reviewing upcoming movies. When the pandemic subsides, I will return to looking at new movies. In the meantime, stay safe, avoid contact as much as you can, and stay home if you're unwell. We will get through this together.
