Maleficent is one of my all time favorite villains, so I was thrilled to see her second movie was being moved up to 2019. We just got the teaser trailer for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil – and it was all I could have hoped for and more!

If you know me, you know I love to be scared. Why? I have no idea, but I do. One movie that terrified me as a child was IT. Of course I went to see the remake – and that scared the heck out of me too. Pennywise was creepy in 1990 — but this new version?! No thank you. But also YES. Because he is amazingly scary. When I first heard that IT: Chapter Two was going to happen, I wasn’t sure what to think. Pennywise is literally the reason I hate clowns. But we just got the IT: Chapter Two trailer – and all I can say is WOW.

My daughters have been wanting to see UglyDolls since the first trailer came out – and we finally were able to go see it. They loved it. Me? Not so much. There were several things that felt off about the film, although the story itself is cute, with good lessons to be learned. It seemed like a not-as-fun combination of Trolls and Toy Story. Will I see it again? Nope. Will I buy it for the girls to watch over and over? Probably.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is now available on Netflix. Zac Efron plays Ted Bundy in this movie and while he does an amazing job, the movie itself is just okay. It is filled with insanely talented actors, but the plot itself is not compelling. Sure, it is taken from real life, but there could have been less court and more murder. OK, maybe I am just a morbid person? This review might take you by surprise – just as the film took me by surprise.

When The Russo Brothers told the interwebs that the official Avengers: Endgame Spoiler Ban was going to end today, I should have known that meant a new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer. Especially when it was put out there that the next trailer would contain Endgame spoilers. I also should have known this meant I was going to cry watching the trailer and discussing it after – but ya know, I thought my wounds were healed. Spoiler alert: they weren’t. Because I have a thing with needing to dissect Marvel trailers, here is my Spider-Man: Far From Home Official trailer breakdown – feel free to let me know of things you found in the comments that I missed!
