#TheLifeOfChuck is a life-affirming wonder of a film that makes you want to surround yourself with everyone you love & appreciate what makes your life yours. The heart of Stephen King’s story shines in Mike Flanagan’s adaptation with beautifully honest performances from everyone.

My review of Until Dawn "The game was made as a love letter to horror movies and let us make the decisions for the characters on screen. But in the end, the movie is its own love letter. And it works." #untildawn #filmreview filmjoyreviews.com/post/7818467...

My review of YOU SEASON 5 is up now. "Season 5 gives us the perfect ending for Joe Goldberg–and its one we might never have expected, but it’s ultimately what he deserves."
