THE END OF OAK STREET – Review by Susan Granger

August 20, 2026August 23, 2026 Susan Granger Anne Hathaway, Christian Convery, David Robert Mitchell, Maisy Stella, The End of Oak Street

The End of Oak Street is – perhaps – the perfect popcorn picture to conclude the summer – an action-filled, sci-fi creature-feature. It’s 1982 in middle-class suburbia where the Platt family is celebrating an idyllic block party with their neighbors. Frustrated Denise is an aspiring novelist, Greg earns extra money delivering pizza, while the kids – Audrey and Brian – romp with their feisty dog Starbuck. The End of Oak Street is absurdly entertaining

THE MONKEY – Review by T. J. Callahan

February 17, 2025February 23, 2025 T. J. Callahan Christian Convery, neon, Osgood Perkins, stephen king, The Monkey, Theo James

Twin brothers find a drum playing, mechanical monkey in a box of their father’s travel trinkets and it sets off a series of horrific events. As the boy’s mother says, “everybody dies”, but if you wind up the monkey you just may live. If I didn’t know it, I’d project that The Monkey is the bloody love child of Stephen King and Quentin Tarantino. While it IS based on a King short story, The Monkey is actually written and directed by Oz Perkins, the son of horror icon Anthony Perkins, and produced by fright favorite James Wan.
