Review: Morbius (2022)

It can be hard to separate movies from the hype machine. Take Morbius , for instance: the film was originally slated for release almost two years ago, before a global pandemic caused not one, not two, but SIX release delays.

A line of dialogue about the importance of keeping bow strings dry is foreshadowing of a future event. Everything is here for a reason.   Prey  is a sci-fi survival story in which a Predator alien arrives on Earth in the year 1719 to hunt the most dangerous game. It finds that challenge in th
