#OneBattleAfterAnother balances the hilarious and absurd with the kind of political commentary that sucker punches you in the gut. To call it timely is a massive understatement.

7/10

Because nothing says autumn like leather bound books, New England, ink-stained fingers, and the warmth of home.

It is an absolute delight to be completely taken surprise by a film. WEAPONS was totally unexpected, in every way. In its arsenal: unease, uncertainty, and unpredictable twists.

It's exciting for #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer to get the reboot treatment a la SCREAM and HALLOWEEN. You could say I'm *hooked* on the nostalgia.
