Board games, a crazed family, a newlywed couple and oodles of fun. Ready or Not follows the newly wed couple of Grace and Alex. Alex who is the son of a generational line of game masters named the Le Domas family. A family rich in both money and blood.

Like I said at the beginning the story is pretty basic and that's fine but it's Pitt's performance here that is just incredibly captivating. It's hard to put into words just how good he is you truly have to see it for yourself. Tommy Lee Jones who plays his dad is also very

Truth be told I wasn't the biggest fan of the first IT chapter back in 2017. It wasn't all that scary and even though I have a fear of clowns it didn't do much to frighten, it was more on the creepy side. With that being said I wasn't surprised that a part two was announced and with some casting choices I was actually excited to see how IT would end. Set once again in the sleepy city of Derry 27 years after the first movie it starts with two guys minding their own business at a carnival. The duo get attacked by a group of thugs and one guy gets tossed into the river. Badly hurt the other goes to try and save his friend but his greeted by none other than the returning Pennywise who takes a bite (literally) out of the guy who was thrown into the river. Soon after this one of the former Loser club members Mike hears on the radio that a body has been found dismembered. He decides to go and check it out for himself as he is suspicious of what happened, his suspicion i
