Coming hot on the heels of his huge late-summer hit “Weapons” last year, writer/director Zach Cregger is back already with his take on the horror video game franchise, “Resident Evil”. We actually reviewed the original adaptation years ago on the DIE!gest (peep the feed), so how does Cregger’s take compare? The answer probably won’t surprise you.

Movies are back, babyyyyy!!! Coming hot on the heels of our last ginormous review, we’re following it up with a review of a movie that is breaking box office records left and right. Unfortunately, that does not apply to Gregg Araki’s first feature film in 12 years, “I Want Your Sex”, but us being cinephiles we of course had to make room for a discussion of that too. No, we’re talking of course about “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”. Look, you’ve probably seen it already. You probably havee feelings about it. We certainly have feelings about it. You know what to do next. Dig in.

Disney Pixar is back again to print another billion dollars for their shareholders with the latest installment in their most well-known franchise. “Toy Story 5” is a movie nobody asked for, but the piggies are happily slopping up regardless. So, what Pixar tier does this latest fall in? Upper top tier like the original trilogy? Middle of the mid tier? The dreaded bottom tier?! You probably won’t be surprised by the answer. Oh and also lots of stuff in the what we’ve been watching section as we catch up after some absences and vacations. Cheers!
