Michael Myers original actor Nick Castle appeared as a partygoer selling fake organs.

Summary: Laurie Strode is about face the final showdown with the infamous Michael Myers.

Tagline: The world needed a hero. It got Black Adam.

Quote: “My powers are not a gift. They’re a curse, born out of rage.”- Teth-Adam

Fun Facts: Black Adam was gonna be in ‘Shazam’ but Dwayne feels like Shazam and Black Adam should be in two separate movies.

This isn’t the first time Black Adam appeared on the big screen, as he also makes a cameo in the post credit scene in this years DC animated film ‘DC league of Superpets’

Uli Latukefu, who played the younger version of the Rock in his biopic TV show ‘Young Rock’ appears in the film as the Champion.

The Rock let the fans decide whatever he should play Shazam or Black Adam.

Summary: A former slave from 2600 BC was freed from his tomb by a group of explorers and chaos ensues.

The One Liner Review: The Rock is fine as a Anti-hero but is somehow stuck in the exciting film that isn’t…so exciting.

There is a possible chance there could be a ‘Hocus Pocus 3’

Favorite Character: Alice Chambers

Tagline: Welcome to Victory

Quote: “What’s the opposite of progress? Chaos. Chaos, an ugly word.”- Frank

Fun Facts: Olivia Wilde originally casted herself as Alice and have Florence Pugh play Bunny but she decided to switch roles.

The dinner table scene was supposed to have Bunny, in it, but wanted to focus on directing the scene that she cut herself from the scene.

The triggering song in the movie was written by Harry Styles.

The Disney short ‘The Skeleton Dance’ was played on the TV in the film.

Summary: In a 50s like experimental company town, a housewife discovers that the town and the company isn’t what she thinks it is.

The One Liner Review: Don’t Worry Darling is well acted and has beautiful shots unfortunately, Wilde’s second feature film feels like there needs more story that went along with a incomplete ending.

Trachtenberg had worked on the film for six years.

Summary: In 1719, a young warrior sets out to prove herself when a Predator arrives on earth.

The One Liner Review: When I saw the film, I see more of a strong Native American heroine tale that should have been on the big screen rather than a mediocre monster movie that should stay on Hulu.
