IT: CHAPTER TWO REVIEW

Twenty-seven years after their first encounter with the terrifying Pennywise, the Losers Club have grown up and moved away, until a devastating phone call brings them back. Starring: Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, Andy Bean, and Bill Skarsgard Written by: Gary Dauberman and Stephen King Directed by: Andy Muschietti   No clowning around here, lets jump right into “IT: Chapter Two.” The famous scene with Georgie sets the tone for chapter one, so how would chapter two start? They set up a scene that unfortunately is much more common than should be these days. A gay couple is enjoying their time at the fair when they find themselves under attack. One of them is thrown into the river, and pulled out by Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard). With his partner watching, Pennywise finishes what the bullies started. Again they’ve opened with a powerful, hard to watch scene that definitely will get the audience’s attention....

This time comes the remake of “Pet Sematary.” Not a bad choice, but do we need another remake…probably not. Regardless, it’s here so lets talk about it!   Maybe it’s knowing what’s coming, but the first half of the movie seems to drag. The family moves to the new town, and settles into their new home. Curiosity gets the best of Ellie (Jete Laurence), as she investigates the pet sematary. Before she can get into any big trouble, she meets the nice yet odd neighbor Jud (John Lithgow.) John seemed like a great choice to play this role, ...

Starring: Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, and Tom Taylor Directed by: Nikolaj Arcel Written by: Akiva Goldsman, Jeff Pinkner, Anders Thomas Jensen, and Nikolaj Arcel   Not that he went anywhere, but it looks like Stephen King is making a come back. The T.V. show ‘The Mist’ has been running for over a month now, and of course the highly anticipated remake of “IT” is not far away. Sandwiched in between is “The Dark Tower,” based on one of King’s longer novels. While this movie doesn’t cover the whole novel, it introduces audiences to this strange universe King created.   And an introduction it is. While ...
