Pretty darn good crop of movies this time around. The back half of 2021 is loaded with big releases, both in scope and potential to be some of the year’s best. If these last couple months are any indication, the rest of the year’s movie slate is going to be a complete banger. NINE DAYS […]

BLACK WIDOW Review: A No Stakes Thrill Ride
Prequels have an inherent problem that no other movies do. Viewers already know the fates of the main characters. This is especially problematic in action movies, where the characters are in constant danger. This issue runs even deeper with Black Widow, the latest entry into the MCU – and first since SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME […]
Review Rundown: LUCA, ZOLA, NO SUDDEN MOVE
By all accounts, movies are back, so I’ve got to get back on that review train. I finally got around to F9 the other day, with (hopefully) many more to come. But there are several movies that I didn’t get to that I want to cover quickly while I still have the chance. LUCA Disney’s […]
F9: THE FAST SAGA Review
F9, where to even begin with this one. I guess, I should start by saying I LOVE the Fast and Furious franchise. The over-the-top action, the quippy (often cheesy) one-liners, the fact they’ve gone from stealing DVD players to becoming full-on superheroes, every single person involved in the series realizing the franchise they’re in…except for […]
Review Rundown: BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA Del Mar, THE MAP OF TINY PERFECT THINGS, IN & OF ITSELF
We’ve got a quick little review dump, to cover some pretty good movies 2021 has had to offer so far, including one of the greatest things I’ve seen in a long time, at least since Parasite (high praise, I know, but deserved). I’ll hopefully get back to a more regular review schedule – already starting […]
‘Raya And The Last Dragon’ Review
Well folks, Disney did it again. Raya and the Last Dragon is yet another knockout. Fantastic animation, great characters, thrilling action sequences, and just the right amount of humor. Also, DRAGONS! You can’t go wrong with dragons. Centuries ago, in the world of Kumandra, dragons lived harmoniously with humans, bringing prosperity to all of Kumandra’s […]
Review Rundown: Let’s Finish 2020 Strong
One more review to dump to finish out the year. And while there have been some real turds since the last one, today’s focus is on good movies. They’ll range from “Best movie of the year” to “This movie is fine but worth a watch.” If you’re looking for some new movies to knock out […]
‘Clouds’ Review: I’m Crying, You’re Crying, Everyone’s Crying
Zach Sobiech was always a special kid. Everyone who knew him knew this. And after he uploaded his soon-to-be-viral song “Clouds” to YouTube in December of 2012, millions more around the country, and even the world, would come to learn this too. Zach was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2009. After several surgeries and 20 rounds […]
‘Enola Holmes’ Review: Millie Bobby Brown Is A Superstar
Ever since she burst onto the scene in 2016 with Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown has been on a rocket ship to mega stardom. She was only 12 when that first season came out; and yet, everyone could see it. It was only a matter of time. And with Enola Holmes, that time may be […]
‘Mulan’ Review: A Girl Worth Fighting For? Barely.
Mulan is the latest Disney live-action remake to fail to live up to its massive hype and expectations. We get suckered into it every time. Just in 2019 alone, we went through the same thing with The Lion King and Aladdin. Both are animated classics – with The Lion King arguably the best animated movie […]
