The Black Phone

The Black Phone; Creepy, moody and disturbing tale based on pre-internet childhood fears of the neighbourhood “grabber”. Great performances all around give it a realistic intensity, even while horror elements offer unexplainable aspects. Genre fare elevated by its talents; B+

Toy Story 4

Toy Story 4; Introduces some fun, new characters which only goes to show how much this series needs to be retired. Animation is top notch and would be better applied to new, original material. And Randy Newman’s music has overstayed it’s welcome by about 4 movies; B+
