A solid reinvention (Spoilers) A part of me doesn’t even know why I’m writing this review because the discourse surrounding this movie has been exhausting, thanks mainly to a certain group of people deciding that they hated the film before it even came out. It’s tempting for me to declare that Zack Snyder has the …

This Woman’s Work
Different, but still pretty good (Spoilers) Since the events of the last film, Gemma Forrester (Allison Williams) has served time in prison after her toy creation M3GAN (Amie Donald, Jenna Davis) went on a killing spree. She somehow retained custody of her niece Cady (Violet McGraw), however, and has also become a proponent of AI …
Tiny Dancer
John Wick-lite done right (Spoilers) Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) is a ballerina, assassin, and bodyguard. When she was a little girl (Victoria Comte), her father Javier (David Castañeda) was killed under the orders of the Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne). After that, she was delivered by New York Continental Hotel Manager Winston Scott (Ian McShane) to …
Space Oddity
A very ‘meh’ conclusion Eddie Brock and Venom (both played by Tom Hardy) have now become fugitives, but that’s the least of these problems. They’re also being hunted by a Xenophage, an alien being who can detect them when they’re in full symbiote mode. The Xenophages are the servants of Knull (Andy Serkis), the creator …
Spitting off the Edge of the World

His mission is to travel to an outpost in the middle of nowhere and guard a gorge with strange creatures trying to escape. Across the gorge is a much nicer and better-stocked Russian outpost with another …

Working the baggage-scanning area during a Christmas Eve shift, Ethan starts getting orders from a mysterious traveler, …
A Quiet Rapture
A Nice, Near Silent Horror (Spoilers) Azrael takes place in one of those apocalyptic worlds where gasoline has a much longer shelf life than in reality because the characters can still drive “Many years after the Rapture.” The title character (Samara Weaving) is a young woman on the run from her former congregation – a …
Like a Prayer
A lot of fun, but a little shallow (Spoilers) After many years of uncertainty, Ryan Reynolds is back as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, and the character has found a new thing to obsess over. In the last movie, it was whether or not his heart was in the right place. In this threequel, it’s about becoming something …
K.P.A.
A good, but not great reboot (Spoilers) Many generations after the last movie, Noa (Owen Teague) is a young ape and member of the Eagle Clan. One day, invaders destroys his village while and enslave his people. Noa sets out to rescue them and becomes acquainted with Mae (Freya Allan), a young human woman pursuing …
Remember Her
A movie you should “witness” (Spoilers) In 2015, writer/director George Miller returned to the world of Mad Max thirty years after the last film. Entitled Mad Max: Fury Road, Tom Hardy replaced Mel Gibson in the role of Max Rockatansky. However, the character who really caught people’s attention was Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron). Now, nine …
