It’s pretty easy to mess up a prequel. Especially one released 13 years after the original movie, seemingly long after anyone would be interested in the characters anymore. But “Orphan: First Kill” is far from your average prequel. The movie is full of appropriately haunting visuals and creepy storylines that already make it a successful scary movie, but what makes “Orphan: First Kill” such a scream is how it reaches a whole new level of horror that fans of the original will never see coming. While the filmmakers easily could have copied what the first one did, as seemingly every reboot/sequel/remake/prequel seems to do these days, “Orphan: First Kill” brilliantly chooses to do something different with its characters and storyline, a refreshing change that’s not only welcome to see in the horror genre but in modern movies as a whole.  Just when you think that the movie is going to be an enjoyable, if not generic, prequel, it throws you a curve ball that turns this horror movie into...

  I have not been this excited for an action movie in a long time but the premise of Bullet Train sold me on it from its early promotion, Leading up to it's release, I was really worried that I would be disappointed, I was also worried that the story would be stale and overly long strictly taking place on a train for two hours but after only minutes in, I felt that all of my worries was for nothing. Brad Pitt plays an assassin who is asked to fill in on a gig for an absent hitman. His mission puts him on a bullet train to find a briefcase and a collision course with almost a dozen of the world's top assassins. This massive ensemble cast pulls out all of the stops and each brings something unique to the story or provides their own style and flair. Initially, all of these interactions seem chaotic as you absorb what seems like unnecessary backstory but it all comes full circle and provides a fulfilling ending and final clash. The pacing in this movie moves extremely fast and only...
