Dave Grohland theFoo Fighterscamp it up in a humorous, but exceedingly violent B-movie gore-fest.Studio 666has the global rock stars facingdemonic possession in a haunted mansion. The film is loaded with vulgar language, bloody murder, and of course, shredding death metal music. I laughed much more than expected.Studio 666never takes itself seriously. The biggest issue is the long run time. Thirty minutes could have easily been cut. A running gag has the band recording a song with no end....

AsThe MandalorianSeason 2’s ultimate finale inches closer, more and more theories about Baby Yoda’s fate are sprouting up. It is obvious that either Mando will save him with the aid of his Disney’s version of the Suicide Squad or The Child sitting on the seeing stone in the Jedi Temple wasn’t just a narrative tool to allow Moff Gideon to nab him.

The Megdelivers a fierce prehistoric bite without falling prey to campiness or gratuitous gore. The shark thriller has more science fiction elements than expected. Director John Turteltaub (Cool Runnings,National Treasure) has a story to tell with the monster hunt. This is both a positive and negative.
