"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

Wendy Day is a young woman struggling to find her place in a world that has always felt slightly out of step. When a string of brutal murders shakes the town, Wendy is pulled into a hidden war between vampires, demons, and ancient forces lurking beneath the surface of everyday life. As dark secrets begin to unravel, Wendy discovers that the answers may be tied not only to the town’s bloody history, but to her own connection to the supernatural. Alongside her fiercely protective sister Arlo and her estranged high school crush Victoria Sinclair, Wendy must navigate a growing nightmare of monsters, betrayal, and impossible choices. As the body count rises and the line between friend and foe begins to blur, Wendy finds herself at the center of a mystery that threatens to consume Sequoia Lake and everyone she loves.
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.
The trainwreck is hot but tame.
Passing is a visually stunning portrayal of Larsen's story with an inclusive cast, and the performances of Thompson and Negga are sensational.
If you mix religious rituals with dark mythology, the result will be effective, and the story powerful in 90% of the cases. That is exactly what happens at the beginning of The Vigil.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
Yes, "Nope" is definitely about the modern obsession with turning tragedy and horror into a spectacle for people’s enjoyment. But it's also about the power of looking, who has the right to look, and what happens to those who are looked upon.
