Ready, steady, go 1.5
What? Can’t I get tired of reviewing movies?

Upon his death, he set up an elaborate Easter Egg hunt to determine who was worthy of …
The trilogy that made Batman movies cool again
Even with that voice, you know the one. (Unmarked Spoilers) Batman Begins should have been entitled The Dark Knight Begins, but hindsight, as they say, is 20/20.

It’s an art film, I swear!
Ah, two of my favorite genres combined. Porno is set in 1992 and concerns a movie theatre that stresses strong Christian values to its employees, the most subtly named of which is Chasity (Jillian Mueller) or Chaz for short. One night they discover this mysterious film reel that they decide to watch after work. The …

At the very last minute, she boards the Fool’s Errand, a bomber plane, with a mysterious package and note saying she will accompany the crew. Given the lack of space …
No more Mr. Nice Guy
So this is what feminist rage looks like. (Unmarked Spoilers) Cassandra “Cassie” Thomas (Carey Mulligan) is a coffee shop worker by day but a whole different person by night. She goes to a bar and acts super intoxicated until a “nice guy” who thinks that basic human decency entitles them to sex offers to help. …

You’ll never guess who made this movie. To start with, I’d like to apologize. I know I promised to stop bringing up the pandemic in my reviews, but here I have to. For better or worse, Tenet is intertwined with COVID-19, probably more than any other movie that’s come out lately.
