“Bingo Hell” is wacky little horror movie out of the Blumhouse Brand, which means that is will have a low budget and a high potential. In this small but close-knit community of low income, people-of-color have a new unwanted guest in the neighborhood. And these local folks don’t like the smell of brimstone…
“The Addams Family 2” is an animated sequel to the first animated movie. This one has most all the same actors returning to voice the same oddball characters as before. So, if the first animated “The Addams Family” movie was your cup of poison, than you are about to hit the jokey jackpot of quirky animated goofiness.
“Venom: Let There Be Carnage” is a follow-up movie to the first “Venom” picture released in 2018. The comic book character Venom originated in the Marvel Comics series about Spiderman. But there are few spiders in this web of carnage. Instead, movie leans on investigative reporters and serial killers locked in a battle of symbiote supremacy.

“The Eyes of Tammy Faye” is an interesting look at the rise and fall of the Bakkers, a televangelist couple who built an empire and saw it crumble around them. They both have warm Northern Minnesota exteriors that make them seem likable and trustworthy.
