The perfect palate cleanser
It’s not the worst Netflix original I’ve seen. The film follows a group of main characters who only go by codenames to avoid emotional attachments. And if that sounds familiar to you, it should because that’s writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese reusing the same idea from their previous film, Zombieland. (NSFW)
DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN
How many versions of the same movie are we going to get? (Unmarked Spoilers) After Halloween, I have another franchise that seems to be as unstoppable as its main villain — consisting of The Terminator, the one that started it all. Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the unquestioned apex of the series that has almost everything you could want …

The source material’s Mysterio was a …
Here come the Men in Black

To think, I was just a small child when Iron Man came out
I can’t believe that makes me feel old (Unmarked Spoilers) Thanos (Josh Brolin) has killed off half the universe, and there’s no hope in sight.

One Captain Marvel movie down, one to go
Thankfully, this one doesn’t have any floss dancing in it The thing I enjoyed most about this movie is that it wasn’t your typical superhero origin story movie. The film starts with the main character already as a superhero while Captain Marvel’s (Brie Larson) origin story is unfolded slowly as the movie goes on, kind …
