🐥 Five Nights At Freddy's 2 (2025): In Dolby Atmos
4 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰💰💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Five Nights At Freddy's 2 Okay why did they have the Dolby Atmos showing at 11PM?! Leaving the Freddy Fazbears at 1AM with a fear of flesh eating animatronics and a huge hope that there would be good ones that save my life. The Dolby Atmos for FNAF 2 consistently has you on edge in suspense with our blood pumping! I wasn’t familiar with the community of FNAF and that theater was PACKED OUT! Everyone felt the suspense and

🫧 Wicked: For Good (2025) in Dolby Atmos
3 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Wicked For Good Leaving the theater kind of felt like finding out the yellow brick road is just bricks. “Wicked: For Good” the 2025 highly anticipated masterpiece scores a 3 out of 5 bags for its not so wicked Dolby Atmos, let's talk about it! 🎧 Dolby Atmos (The immersive balance, depth, panning, creativity and immersive experience the film holds.) The Dolby Atmos left me a bit puzzled. It felt extremely stereo front leani

🪄Now You See Me: Now You Don’t (2025) in Dolby Atmos: All Tricks, No Treats
2 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Now You See Me: Now You Don’t I was leaving the magic show opening night of “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” as a long time fan of the franchise and magic lover since a youngin. It was fun seeing the story and cast come together for a similar but new mission. It’s comical (like dry funny lol) and the acting was good. I found the plot fun and creative. This story felt like a pass of the baton from the original Horsemen to our new

🎸Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) In Dolby Atmos: Rocked The House
Written by Jonathan Garcia 4 out of 5 Bags 💰💰💰💰 This is a beautiful story showcasing the personal struggles and growth that creatives go through, even the greatest of us all. I didn’t know much about Bruce’s work other than “Born in the USA” and that’s because I grew up in western Pennsylvania and you would hear it everywhere. Leaving the theater, I became a fan of not only his music, but his story. I had to listen to some records before writing this and I came to noti

📞 Black Phone 2 (2025) In Dolby Atmos: A Call Away From Greatness
3 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia Black Phone 2 Stepping out of the theater around 2AM, I was praying I wouldn't hear a phone ring!! Black Phone 2 is a heart pounding sequel and a must watch! Going on this new adventure with Finney and Gwen as they have to take on the Grabber for a second time but this time from another world. The acting is top notch and the story is great with amazing sound design by AudioAttack! The Dolby Atmos is underwhelming but has thri

🚪A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) In Dolby Atmos: Not What You'd Expect
2 Out of 5 Bags 💰💰 Written by Jonathan Garcia A Big Bold Beautiful Journey Finishing up this interesting journey I'm shocked to give my first 2 bag review! The acting was good, but the energy in this movie overall felt strange. The story was pretty good and pretty fun. If you’re a fan of “Re-Zero” the anime, where you get thrown in the middle of a story with no background or context -- this is kind of that vibe. Let's enjoy the ride and let's talk about the big beautiful A
