Venom: The Last Dance

The third, and apparently final, Venom movie is, like the first two movies in the franchise, a bit of a mess. I’m not the biggest fan of either Venom or Venom: Let There Be Carnage, but Venom: The Last Dance is definitely the least of the three movies. While the film presents some enjoyable moments, such as Venom taking over a horse and fish, and the interactions between Venom and Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), the story doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Van Helsing

Spooky Saturday takes a look back at a film that was decidedly not. Tom Cruise‘s The Mummy wasn’t the only film to kill a revival of Universal Pictures’ monsters before it ever got started. 13 years earlier that honor went to Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, and Van Helsing. While a financial success, the negative response to the film killed any similar future projects for more than a decade.

Chapel

Opening with a murder during a marriage ceremony that didn’t even happen, Chapel is a failed attempt at a psychological thriller. After waking up from a five-month coma with no memory of who he is, “Cohen” (Jeremy Sumpter) begins a relationship with his nurse Sofia (Pardis Saremi) building a new life together (apparently built entirely on sex) but is haunted by flashes from his previous life while fighting his psychiatrist’s (Melinda Yeaman) attempts to help him remember.

Gotham City Sirens #1

Gotham City Sirens #1 is a confusing way to kick off an issue. More than once I went back to the cover to make sure I was actually reading the first issue of a new comic as we seem thrown haphazardly into a series of events writer Leah Williams assumes we’ll understand. We get the hunting of White Rabbit (but not Jaina Hudson who Catwoman catches up to later) by a group of rodeo enthusiasts. Why any of this is happening, why Catwoman went looking for her, or how any of this fits into other events of the issues is (like everything else) clear as mud.

What Happens in Miami

What Happens in Miami is a lackluster thriller focused on a group of friends Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut, Annalisa Cochrane, Rachel Leyco, and Jada Elena Wooten one of whom (Cochrane) goes missing while on spring break. The focus on the film isn’t about the loss of their friend, what happened to her, emotional drama or fallout but instead the girls being afraid of the police who for some unknown reason believe they are better suspects than the missing girl’s drug dealer boyfriend (Christopher Collins) who was with her when she went missing.
