While I'm writing up my review for Con Quest! by Sam Maggs, I took a little break and ended up watching the trailer for the upcoming movie Cold Storage. This horror comedy movie looks like it's going to be really good, it's based on the book Cold Storage by David Keopp, which I never read. Since this movie isn't released until 2026, I have time to read the book before I see it. This really does look really good.

Starring: Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, Liam Neeson, Lesley Manville, Sosie Bacon, Aaron Heffernan and more

Based on: The book Cold Storage by David Keopp
Description:
When a highly dangerous fungus escapes from a secret laboratory, a former bioterrorism agent is called back into action. Alongside two young employees, he must confront an invisible and out-of-control threat.
Why am I just now finding out about this horror comedy movie, The Parenting. It's stressful enough meeting your significant other's parents but then to meet them while staying in a haunted house. Yeah, that's beyond stressful.
I just love finding these random movies. The Parenting was released March 13th but I never heard anything about it. Anyone else heard about this movie? I only found out about it when I spotted the trailer and watch it. This looks like a totally ridiculous movie that I can't wait to watch.
The Parenting (HBO Max)

Director: Craig Johnson
Writers: Kent Sublette
Description:
A couple, Josh and Rohan plan a weekend getaway to introduce their parents, only to discover that their rental is home to a 400-year-old poltergeist.
It's been a while since I've posted a Weekend Films. Although I didn't post it, I did see Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die and it was really good. As for this weekend, the only movies that I'm interested in seeing are: A Quiet Place: Day One and The Killer Inside: The Ruth Finley Story.
A Quiet Place: Day One is a sci-fi horror movie that's a prequel to the first two A Quiet Place movies. I loved those first two movies and I can't wait to see this new one. With the first two movie, the characters were already settled or resigned to the horrifying world that they lived in. While Day one is going to show the beginning of that experience. Can you imagine trying to figure out how to survive during an alien attack?
While The Killer Inside: The Ruth Finley Story is a Lifetime movie that's based on a true story. I never heard of Ruth Finley or her story but according to the movie's description, she is being stalked. But is that truly what's happening? I'm waiting until after I watch this movie to look into the story. It just seems interesting.

Happy Saturday! What movies are you watching this weekend?
Abigail is definitely a must see for me. They kidnapped a little girl that turned out to be a vampire. Sasquatch Sunset looks so weird and ridiculous that I have to see it. I've been hearing that it's a gross movie but so are horror movies, so it shouldn't be an issue. As for The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, it looks like an interesting action movie that's set in World War II. The last movie, Falling in Love in Niagara is a romantic comedy that follows Madeline who was dumped before her wedding possibly finding love on her would be honeymoon to Niagara.
All of these movies look good but I don't know if I have time today to go to the theatre. I'm going to try and see if I can go tomorrow. But I'm definitely going to watch Falling in Love in Niagara tonight.
Theatre
Abigail
Starring: Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Alisha Weir, Giancarlo Esposito, William Catlett, Kathryn Newton, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud, Matthew Goode and more
Directors: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett
Writers: Stephen Shields and Guy Busick
Description:
After a group of criminals kidnap the ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, they retreat to an isolated mansion, unaware that they're locked inside with no normal little girl.
When do you like going to the movie? Are you a morning or evening movie goer? I love to get up early and go to the theatre. It's just something I enjoy, watching a movie early in the day. I'll go watch movies in the evening or at night but I just prefer going in the morning or as early as possible.
Anyway, what movies are you watching this weekend? There are four I want to see: horror (Arcadian and Sting), a comedy (Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead) and a romantic comedy (Legend of the Lost Locket). I love that horror movies are year round movies instead of mainly being released in the fall. Both Arcadian and Sting look creepy especially Sting since I don't like spiders but that's not going to stop me wanting to see it. I wonder what the creatures are in Arcadian? Are they mutated animals, people or something else? It will be interesting to find out.
As for the other two movies: Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead and Legend of the Lost Locket. I love watching the original Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead and this new one looks just as fun. Can you imagine being a kid trying to figure what to do after your babysitter died? I always thought the older sister did as best as could trying to take care of her siblings and work a demanding crazy job. So, yeah, I can't wait to see this. And finally, Legend of the Lost Locket is a romantic comedy (more like romantic quest) that follows an antiques expert who is looking for a special locket that supposed to bring true love. This looks like a cute movie, I can't wait to watch it tonight.
Theatre
Arcadian
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jaeden Martell, Maxwell Jenkins, Sadie Soverall, Samantha Coughlan, Joe Dixon and more
Director: Benjamin Brewer
Writer: Mike Nilon
Description:
A father and his twin teenage sons fight to survive in a remote farmhouse at the end of the end of the world.
I guess I'm continuing with the vampire theme with the trailer for Abigail. This is probably one of the most unluckiest group of people to commit a crime. They probably thought abducting a little girl and ransom her off for a large sum of money would be easy. Well, if any of them survive being locked in with a vampire, I'm sure they'll probably never want to even think of doing anything even remotely bad ever again. This looks like a fun movie, I can't wait to see it. Abigail will be in theatres Friday, April 19th.

What movies are you watching this weekend? There are two I want to see: It's a Wonderful Knife and The Marvels.
I'm not usually someone who is remotely interested in Christmas this early but I do want to see It's a Wonderful Knife. It's a horror comedy that's a take on the classic holiday film, It's a Wonderful Life. As for the second movie, I have been waiting to see The Marvel ever since it was announced. It has Captain Marvel, Nick Fury, Spectrum and Ms. Marvel all in one movie, how can I not want to see this?
It's a Wonderful Knife

Description:

Happy Saturday, it's the weekend before Halloween! And it's Weekend Films, what movies are going to watch?
There are two I want to see: Five Nights at Freddy's and Inspector Sun. First is Five Nights at Freddy's, it's a horror movie based on a video game. Although I play video games, I'm not a big gamer which is probably why I never heard of the video game. Anyway, the movie looks good with haunted animatronics. And it looks like security guard Mike's daughter might be in danger.
The second is Inspector Sun, is an animated film that centers around a spider detective trying to solve a mystery on a plane. I love a good mystery and this looks so cute and fun. It's like a classic mystery but with insects, how could I not want to see it?

What movies are you watching this weekend? There's one I want to see, Totally Killer. It premiered yesterday on Amazon Prime and it feels like a cross between Back to the Future and 80s slasher horror movies. Looking at the trailer, it makes me wonder if the reason her mom's friends were killed is because the killer originally was from the daughter's timeline. But time travel always seems to be wonky no matter how it's shown in various media, so it could be a possibility. It'll be interesting to see who the killer is. I really can't wait to see this.
Totally Killer (Amazon Prime)
Starring: Kiernan Shipka, Olivia Holt, Charlie Gillespie, Julie Bowen, Lochlyn Munro, Randall Park, Troy Leigh-Anne Johnson, Liana Liberato, Kelcey Mawema, Stephi Chin-Salvo, Anna Diaz, Ella Choi, Jeremy Monn-Djasngar, Nathaniel Appiah and more

Okay, I know it's been a while since I've posted a Weekend Films especially since I continue to watch so many new movies. Anyway, there are five movies that I want to see: A Safari Romance, Heart of Stone, Jules; Red, White & Royal Blue and The Last Voyage of the Demeter. There are quite a few choices and genres: two romantic comedies (A Safari Romance and Red, White & Royal Blue), an action movie (Heart of Stone), a sci-fi comedy (Jules) and horror (The Last Voyage of the Demeter).
Okay, so it's technically four movies I want to see, since I've already watched Red, White & Royal Blue yesterday. But that doesn't mean I can't watch it again which I'll probably do after I watch Heart of Stone. Because it's a wonderful, absolutely terrific film that has all the elements of a classic romantic comedy. I'll definitely count it as one of my favorite movies and romantic comedies.
As for the other movies, they seem really interesting first is A Safari Romance which has a biologist and a theme park designer exploring the wilderness and of course finding love. Second is Heart of Stone which looks like an exciting action movie centered around a shadowy organization and missing technology. Third is Jules a sci-fi comedy that looks like a fun movie about a group of senior citizens caring for an alien. And finally, The Last Voyage of the Demeter a horror movie that centers around the crew of the Demeter who unknowingly were transporting one of the greatest evils, Dracula. I keep saying I'm going to read Dracula by Bram Stoker but so far I have yet to get around to it. Anyway, can't wait to see this movie and the others.
What movies are you watching this weekend?

The battle against zombies continues in Resident Evil: Death Island animated movie. What seems like separate investigations turns into one horrifying fight for survival at Alcatraz. Although this is the fourth animated movie, I don't think you need to have watched the other three movies (Degeneration, Damnation and Vendetta) or the animated miniseries Infinite Darkness to see Death Island. But they are worth watching if you haven't seen them.
I believe this is the second movie that Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine have been in together, the first was the live-action movie Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. I really can't wait to see Resident Evil: Death Island which will be released on DVD/Blu ray Tuesday, July 25th.
Resident Evil: Death Island

Director: Eiichiro Hasumi
Writer: Makoto Fukami

Why does it feel like this week just zipped by? Well, it's the weekend, what movies are you going to watch? There's two that I want to see: A Pinch of Portugal and Evil Dead Rise.
The first movie, A Pinch of Portugal is a romantic comedy set around food, cooking, love and romance and a great location. It looks like Anna is going to get a lot of support and possibly a little romance when she has to take over a cooking show. This looks really cute and romantic movie. The second one Evil Dead Rise is the latest horror installment in the Evil Dead series. An estranged relationship between sisters takes center stage but it looks like their reunion will be short-lived (no pun intended) if they can't survive all the ghastly horrors that are attacking them.
These seem like good picks, what movies are you going to watch?

Starring: Heather Hemmens, Luke Mitchell, Martina Laird, Johnna Dias-Watson, Amy Louise Pemberton, Duarte Gomes, Eric Geynes and more
Director: Clare Niederpruem

It's Saturday and that means new movies. What movies are you watching this weekend? I haven't posted a Weekend Films in a while because there hasn't been a lot new movies released that have interested me. Well, I'm glad to say there are three new movies that I'm interested in seeing: Renfield, The Pope's Exorcist and The Wedding Cottage.
The first movie, Renfield is a horror comedy that centers on the titular character who seems very much tired of working for Dracula. Who can blame him and despite the power perks of working for Dracula, it doesn't seem like a good job at all. The second, The Pope's Exorcist is a horror movie. Although nothing will ever beat The Exorcist which was released in 1973, this does seem like an interesting movie with the Pope uncovering a secret that's linked to a possession. The last movie is The Wedding Cottage is a romantic comedy that centers on a wedding planner that's trying to get the perfect location for her clients but has the deal with the owner who has no desire to re-open it. This seems like a cute movie and I think this is the first time that Erin Krakow and Brendan Penny starred in a movie together.
So, what movies are you watching today?

But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.
What movies are you watching this weekend? There are three that interest me: A Paris Proposal, Magic Mike's Last Dance and She Came from the Woods.
With it being Valentine's weekend, if you're looking for something romantic, there's the romantic comedy A Paris Proposal that centers around a lie or a comedy of errors. As well as the romantic dramedy Magic Mike's Last Dance, the final film in the dance trilogy. And finally if you're looking for something a little different there's the horror comedy She Came from the Woods, which feels like a slasher parody.
A Paris Proposal 8:00 PM EST Hallmark Channel

Director: Jessica Harmon
Writer: Andrea Canning
Description:

February is the month of Black History, Love, Cold Weather and of course new movies. What movies are you watching this weekend? There are three that I'm interested in seeing: Knock at the Cabin, Sweeter Than Chocolate and The Amazing Maurice.
The first movie, Knock on the Cabin seems terrifying because you don't know if the people who showed up at your cabin are telling the truth or not about preventing the apocalypse. And if they are, would you be able to sacrifice one of your family members to save the world? Or do you let the world end?
As for the second movie, Sweeter Than Chocolate, it's a romantic comedy centering around chocolates that bring true love. Whether that's true or not, a reporter finds interest in the story and the chocolatier. The last movie, The Amazing Maurice is an animated movie that seems like a fun take on the old pied piper tale. It's centered around a talking cat, his rat friends and his piper friend who have been pulling off cons when they stumble upon something sinister.
All three movies seems very interesting: apocalyptic horror, chocolate and romance and a fairy tale. What movies are you watching this weekend?

It's been awhile since I've posted a Weekend Film. There are three movies that I'm interested in seeing: M3GAN, The Pale Blue Eye and The Wedding Veil: Expectations.
M3GAN is a sci-fi horror movie with an advanced robot that seems to take being a friend and protector too far. The Pale Blue Eye is a horror mystery movie that centers around murders at a military school. And last is The Wedding Veil: Expectations, it's the fourth film in the romantic comedy movie series and this time it seems a new addition may be added to Avery and Peter's family.
These seem like interesting movies and I really want to see them. I'm not sure I can go to the theatre today to see M3GAN but I'm definitely going to watch the other two since they're on Netflix and Hallmark. What movies are you watching this weekend?

So far, I think Renfield is the movie I'm most looking forward to seeing this year, it will be in theatres on April 14th. I would not want to work for Dracula and have to do all those terrible jobs for him. And after watching this trailer, I'm already excited to see what will happen in this zany little comedy horror movie.
Renfield

I hope everyone is having a good start to the weekend and do you have any movie plans? Well, I have four movies that seem very interesting: Autumn in the City, Halloween Ends, Let's Get Physical and The Curse of Bridge Hollow.
The first movie seems really cute, Autumn in the City is a romantic comedy set in New York City with a woman trying to find herself and maybe even find a little romance. Next is Halloween Ends, the final movie in the Halloween series, with Laurie Strode going up against Michael Myers for the last time. The next is the drama Let's Get Physical that's based on a true story with the movie following Sadie a fitness instructor who is also a prostitute. And last is The Curse of Bridge Hollow a supernatural comedy set during Halloween when a ghost is accidently released and is causing terror throughout the town.
All four movies are a must see for me. Now all I have to do is to remember to grab my snacks so I can sit back and enjoy these movies.
