  Happy Death Day 2U Director: Christopher Landon Starring: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, Phi Vu, Suraj Sharma, Sarah Yarkin, Rachel Matthews, Ruby Modine Rating: PG-13 Runtime: 100 minutes A lot of people point to Happy Death Day as a terrible attempt at a horror movie that is stealing all of its elements from Groundhog Day. Yes, it was one of many to borrow the loop archetype from Groundhog Day, but it was fun. More fun than it should have been. Tree and Carter proved to be a couple that was actually worth watching. Seeing Tree live the same day over…

Replicas Director: Jeffrey Nachmanoff Starring: Alice Eve, Keanu Reeves, Emily Alyn Lind, Thomas Middleditch, John Ortiz, Emjay Anthony Rating: PG-13 Runtime: 107 minutes Keanu Reeves is an odd bird. He can take the movies of superstar roles, and he can take the movies that are destined to fly under the radar. Replicas is the latter, but as we learned with Destination Wedding last year, some of those low-flying films can be quite good. Still, viewers (mainly parents) should beware that this can be a hard movie to get through. The nuts and bolts of Replicas has Keanu Reeves playing Will,…

Die #2 Image Comics Writer: Kieron Gillen Artist: Stephanie Hans I was extremely high on Die #1. It was my first Masterpiece review garnering a coveted perfect score, something Sequential Planet rarely gives out. However, I felt it was well-deserved thanks to its fantastic storytelling and artwork. The score weighs heavy as the sophomore issue looms and I have to go into the next chapter knowing that it was most likely a unicorn and this issue will bring me back down to Earth. So does it? The gang is all here! Ash, Chuck, Matt, Angela, Isabelle, and Sol. The first five…

Archie: 1941 #4 Archie Comics Writers: Brian Augustyn & Mark Waid Artist: Peter Krause Archie: 1941 has been a very strong comic in its first three issues. It feels very of its time, which is World War 2 America. So far, the writers have done a great job of touching on many aspects of pre-war and at-war issues in a small town. We have seen Fred and Mary Andrews wrestle with Archie’s decision to become a soldier. Seen Betty fret about Archie’s enlistment. However, this issue finally gets into the real battle that Archie is headed to, and bullets start…

Roma Director: Alfonso Cuarón Starring: Yalitza Aparicio, Marina de Tavira, Diego Cortina Autrey, Carlos Peralta, Marco Graf, Daniela Demesa, Nancy García García Rating: R Runtime: 135 minutes Alfonso Cuarón has made quite a name for himself in cinema and is now a director that can bring in viewers on his name alone. That being said, I don’t think he is using or abusing that following. Y Tu Mamá También is a movie that surprisingly crossed over into America despite it being a foreign language film. The accolades he received for Children of Men and Gravity were well deserved. Naturally,…

Justice League Dark #6 DC Comics Writer: James Tynion IV Artist: Daniel Sampere Justice League Dark has begun to open up some large doors, and the craziness is hard to contain. The group is currently split up with Swamp Thing and John Constantine on their own and away from the group. At the end of the previous issue, the rest of League went to Myrra to discover that the Blue Devil has been trying the keep the peace after Bobo botched a resurrection spell that caused skeletons to keep coming to life and attacking Myrra’s inhabitants. So where does…

The Empty Man #2 BOOM! Studios Writer: Cullen Bunn Artist: Jesús Hervás I’m so glad that The Empty Man is back! So far we are setting up the new world and new characters, but we are treated with plenty of terrifically horrible things along the way. This comic has never been for the weak hearted people and still isn’t. In this issue alone there is a certain discovery of an infant that is not pleasing. You never actually see the brutality, but something like that is too much for some people, and those people are not who Cullen Bunn…

Die #1 Image Comics Writer: Kieron Gillen Artist: Stephanie Hans The Wicked + The Divine was never my favorite comic series by any means. I found it hard to follow, but I do own quite a few issues of it. So when I heard about Die being written by Kieron Gillen, then I was apprehensive. Could this series also be complicated for people who have trouble juggling a lot of timelines and characters? I did have a little bit of trouble keeping track of each character and how they were related, but most of that is due to nicknames…

Justice League Dark (2018-) #5 DC Comics Writer: James Tynion IV  Artist: Alvaro Martinez Justice League Dark has been on a roll in the first four issues. They have been up against an impossible evil in the first arc. The Upside Down Man and Hecate have proven to be fierce, even though they are not allies themselves. There is one glaring problem and DC isn’t the only publisher that does this. Let’s get into Justice League Dark #5 I understand why they do it, but I despise having to pick up another issue in a different series to see…

Oblivion Song #9 Image Comics Writer: Robert Kirkman Artist: Lorenzo De Felici Previously in Oblivion Song, Nathan was sprung from his jail cell by his girlfriend, Heather. Then he started building a plan to get his machine out of the hands of the military before they started using it as a weapon. So right away you know this issue was going to be a heist. While it was a heist, the plan you thought Nathan had in mind was different from what we see in this issue. Let’s dive in. By using Oblivion, Nathan and his brother, Ed, break into the…
