That's 2,000 words on COLD PREY in the books, not a bad start to the week.

"Unless I'm mistaken..."

[narrator voice] He was, indeed, mistaken. Confident, but mistaken.

"...when it doesn't need theaters at all."
"...that $80+ billion didn't come form box office revenue."

[narrator voice] Actually, it did. And that $80+ billion was influenced by box office revenue.

tfw you write something negative about five nights at freddy's

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2: I defended the first FNAF, but I cannot muster positivity for this malfunctioning sequel. Scott Cawthon takes sole writing duties—an atrocious screenplay that Emma Tammi cannot save. It's all disjointed promotion for a third film and no payoff. Where'd the third act go?

Seated for one of the last horror movies of the year! Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 time.

More proof that the greatest sin any movie can commit is being forgettable.

Horror fans will always remember the most unwatchable garbage they've seen, but POLTERGEIST was forgotten as soon as it hit theaters. These comments are wild to me.

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH - Did you like the last one? It’s more of that but with … fire and ash. Stephen Lang and Oona Chaplin steal the show with their cartoon-ass villainy. The climax feels like run-it-back déjà vu? A technical marvel, but this one’s story runs in too many circles for 3+ hours.

My night belongs to AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH. See y’all in three hours and seventeen minutes!

I mean for this image alone.

Put on WICKED: FOR GOOD after Thanksgiving festivities, and I was not a fan! First real dud of my FYC catch-up.
November 29, 2025 at 10:10 PM
I was nervous about taking turkey duties my first Thanksgiving away from home, but now it’s my pride and joy. Got my prep and process nailed down.

Hope all your Thanksgivings were a bounty of wonderful company and feasting in whatever form!

Apple pie? Good. Apple pie with ice cream? Better.

Apple pie with melted cheddar? Depending on my mood … best.

Quickie thoughts on TRAIN DREAMS, one of my favorites of 2025, streaming on Netflix now.
November 25, 2025 at 8:58 PM
Ugh. It's finally time for me to tackle POLTERGIEST for my ongoing horror remake coverage at @bloody-disgusting.com.

Been dreading this one, because woof. No one needs to revisit that 2015 dudliest of duds. (Original is top-tier, duh.)

Starting the week with a … killer screening.

"There's a numbness that brings me back to studio rehashes of Robocop and Total Recall ... [boasting] one of the most disjointed finales of 2025."

THE RUNNING MAN is a real disappointment based on the talent involved.

Realized I never shared my full review lol: authory.com/MattDonato/T...

Awkwafina’s deep inhale and “Hah!” at the end of THE FAREWELL destroys me every time. 🖤

We came. We saw. We got the only $6 Wicked margarita Chilis had left. This location was out of dragonfruit of all things, sour apple flavor only. At least we can say we did it haha.
