I got to check out a preview screening for this week's new movie "Companion"... It's billed as a HORROR movie, but I'd say it's more of a Thriller...

In case anyone wants to go in blind, I'm going to skip the story bits... other than saying "It's fine". It doesn't try to pull off anything too complicated, but that's perfectly acceptable here. There a few fun bits that might catch some people by surprise...

As far as the characters...

Sophie Thatcher, who was also in the recently released Heretic, does a good job in her role as Iris. Jack Quaid (Hughie from The Boys) is perfectly cast as Josh, and everyone's favorite familiar Harvey Guillen (What we do in the Shadows TV Series), brings exactly what you'd expect to this fun little cast.

The Kids (15 & 18) and crew really had a good time!!! They walk a tightrope of tension and absurdity very well.. I definitely had a few chuckles... but also felt some awkwardness sitting with my kiddos a few times LOL..

The R Rating is definitely a balance of language, s*x and violence.. all of those come in at a low to moderate level... Nothing particularly gratuitous.

If it's on your radar.. it's what you think it's going to be.. if it isn't.. go in as blind as you can... No trailers if possible... And you'll probably have a great time. If you can take someone who hasn't seen any promo material for it, they might be in for a great twist!

There's only a few obvious visual effect moments, which normally wouldn't even get a mention, but I was glad to see that a smaller movie like this made sure they were clean and effective.. There's nothing here that demands a big screen.. but I didn't regret my $5 ticket.

Honestly.. I feel like it's a streamer quality movie... But if you want a good, small scale light sci-fi thriller.. it's worth a go...

Overall, it lands at a 5.4 and NO STUB for me... with that said, it's a fun little watch (only an Hour and Thirty **The sweet spot for this genre).. If you're just looking to get out of the house, and need something to do with your better half, you could find worse things to watch. Definitely a great movie for the Tuesday price Marcus Pickerington Cinema!!!!

It's not EXACTLY a derivative of 2022's "MEGAN", but it definitely feels like... Someone said "OK, what if the robot was made for an adult, who could control it with an app on their phone?".

This is probably a lie... lol.. but I kinda wish it wasn't... on the other hand... they'd probably all be CG, and that takes a bit of the magic away....

GREMLINS 3 is finally happening. Christopher Columbus (Gremlins, Gremlins 2, The Goonies), is back penning the script for Warner Brothers per DEADLINE. Ok. I am EXCITED.

Nosferatu lands at a 6.4/10 for me. A perfectly good "Stub at Home" flick... As beautiful as it is, there's nothing in the size, scope, and scale that demand a theater experience. I wouldn't be surprised if I watched this a few more times and saw that number bump up.. I just can't say you need to rush out to see it. If Vampire flicks are your thing, then it's definitely worth a watch!

Directed by Robert Eggers (The Northman, The Lighthouse, The Witch), this was a movie I had been really looking forward to. So let's get to it....
The cast is really good, aside from one moment where I'm not crazy about Aaron-Taylor Johnson.. I think he's supposed to be going for "A bit delirious", but to me, it landed as "bad drunk" 🤣. Lily Rose-Depp is absolutely tremendous in this movie, definitely the standout performance.
The cinematography, and design choices are top notch. There's a very deliberate color grading in play here that makes this movie feel black and white adjacent. This overall somber tone brilliantly showcases Egger's style.
With all of these praises I'm heaping upon this movie, you're probably thinking that we we're on the path a very high score.
And man, I absolutely wish we landed a bit higher, because it's mostly executed so well. There is great tension and terror at times, but there's other times where it's just a bit slow.. and I get the smaller moments are supposed to ratchet up the tension so you're ready to go in the 3rd act. I just don't think we needed ALL of it.With all that said, I don't think you'll regret watching this movie, and the ending is definitely strong.

Definitely be sure to check the Parental Guide on IMDB before watching it with young ones... that said, I don't think it'll really keep the attention of sub 14/15 year olds at all.

Tonight I took a gamble on this week's Marcus Monday Mystery Movie and was treated to great movie! "September 5" provides a unique and intense perspective on the infamous Munich Massacre. The film will release this weekend in limited theaters, and be followed by a January wide release. The cast and script is excellent... This one absolutely earns a TO STUB rating regardless of your familiarity with the event. There obviously isnt a ton of sweeping spectacle so you could probably wait to watch it at home... But you definitely should when you get the chance... And if you enjoy going to the movies and are looking for a good thriller... This is it!!!
