As we all suffer through this time, and many of us are turning to movies to fill the days and night, Sequential Planet still has your back! I know that films like Contagion are climbing the list and having a resurgence, but let’s be honest, that is glib. The hourly news cycle is enough to depress the masses. You need something to lift you up. Something that makes you forget. Something to put a smile on your face in this crisis. Luckily, I’m here to give you my Top 10 Feel-Good Movies for you to enjoy, and as always, I…

Eli Director: Ciarán Foy Starring: Charlie Shotwell, Kelly Reilly, Max Martini, Lili Taylor, Sadie Sink, Deneen Tyler, Katia Gomez Rating: R Runtime: 98 minutes As usual, October is here, and Netflix is flooding its service with horror goodness, and naturally, I am here to inform you of how they are doing. In my opinion, if you take all of the horror movies with the Netflix name on them, the bad still outweigh the good, but that is how it goes with this genre of film. There are a lot of at-bats and a lot of swings before you get…

Back by popular demand is the SP HorrorFest. 2019 has been a good year for horror in both mainstream and indie fields, but as you know from last year’s list, we don’t just talk about recent titles. I’m here to dig up the best from all years and, if possible, tell you which streaming platforms you can find these on right now. If you didn’t see the 2018 movie list, you can find it HERE. There are some great titles there as well that won’t be found on this list. So grab your favorite blanket, hit the lights, and…

13 Reasons Why Season 3 Starring: Dylan Minnette, Grace Saif, Christian Navarro, Alisha Boe, Brandon Flynn, Justin Prentice, Miles Heizer, Brenda Strong, Amy Hargreaves, Ross Butler, Devin Druid, Timothy Granaderos, Steven Weber, Matthew Alan, Michele Selene Ang Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 60 minutes/episode In 2017, when 13 Reasons Why first aired on Netflix, it became something special. It didn’t take long to figure out that this show was different; this wasn’t the usual prime time teen drama. Everything about 13 Reasons Why was significant: it was topical, it was daring and dared you to watch. It was the type of…

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Director: André Øvredal Starring: Zoe Margaret Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush, Dean Norris, Gil Bellows Rating: PG-13 Runtime: 111 minutes The stories we were in fear of growing up have now been set to moving pictures. The first book of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was published in 1981. Two more followed in the next ten years. As a kid, this was the book that friends carried in their backpacks and talked about in a hushed tone. Instead of trying to hide photos of provocative women, kids were coveting horror…

iZombie just had its final finale with the end of its fifth season. During it’s run, it flew under the radar and was considered an underrated TV show. Considering the show’s roots in comics, I wanted to give it a proper send-off in a review/wrap-up. iZombie did what I appreciate from all shows, and it stuck to its formula to the bitter end. The showed lived and died by its characters, especially Liv Moore (Rose McIver). In each episode, zombie coroner Liv would consume a different victim’s brain that would help her solve the case. Each episode was a…

Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood Director: Quentin Tarantino Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning, Margaret Qualley, Luke Perry Rating: R Runtime: 161 minutes I was born in 1985. Like some, I have an affinity for old Hollywood. The politics, the glamor, the beauty, the romance, it was all something I wish I could go back to and live in if even just on the fringe. Imagine having that love, and discovering early on a director who also feels the same and even lived through some of it. That same someone…

Gideon Falls #15 Image Comics Writer: Jeff Lemire Artist: Andrea Sorrentino While Gideon Falls has been making some big moves recently, it is expanding its world exponentially. We thought we were dealing with one world, then two…now we don’t even know, and that has created some excitement, but it comes with a downside. Let’s do this! This issue deals a lot with Father Fred and his journey, which has been confusing, to say the least. Doctor Xu gets some page time here as well as she is succumbing to the mystery and giving up her life as a therapist.…

Brightburn Director: David Yarovesky Starring: Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn Rating: R Runtime: 90 minutes If ever a movie felt like it came from a graphic novel, it is Brightburn. Spinning from the minds of the Gunn family and produced by James Gunn himself, Brightburn has lofty expectations with the names attached and the admittedly good trailer that was cut for it. Was it able to reach these goals? Let’s rip the door off the freeze and find out. Brightburn is about the Breyer’s, a couple who live on a farm and are having trouble conceiving until…

Pet Sematary Director: Kevin Kölsch & Dennis Widmyer Starring: Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, John Lithgow, Jeté Laurence, Hugo Lavoie, Lucas Lavoie Rating: R Runtime: 101 minutes As an avid Stephen King reader and recent viewer of the newly released 4K version of Pet Sematary (1989), I feel I am at least qualified to form an opinion on this film. I will admit that I do not love the original at all. There were bad directing decisions, important scenes missing, and most of the movie is filled with bad acting. So…I’m not a fan. However, I am a fan of…
