I know expectations are high for a decent FANTASTIC FOUR movie, and I'm excited to report that after many tries, THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is just that, a good first step. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film is a retro-futuristic adventure that at times feels more like a character-driven family drama than it does… Continue reading Movie Review- The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Movie Review: Superman
James Gunn's SUPERMAN is a welcomed breath of fresh air into the superhero genre, which has been stagnant for way too long. As opposed to Zack Snyder's darker interpretation of the character in MAN OF STEEL, this version of Superman is a lot lighter. Gunn leans into the character's earnestness, his kindness, and his quest… Continue reading Movie Review: Superman
Interview: Eva Victor for Sorry, Baby
As a fellow cat lover, I am happy to report that no cats are harmed in writer/director/actor Eva Victor's poignant new film SORRY, BABY. I want that to be the first item featured in this article because during my interview with Eva, we joked about the fact that people may be concerned about the cat… Continue reading Interview: Eva Victor for Sorry, Baby
Movie Review: Jurassic World Rebirth
As a huge fan of the JURASSIC PARK franchise, I am sad to report that JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is one of the most underwhelming installments yet. And that says a lot coming from me, whose idea of home decor consists of a JURASSIC PARK movie poster displayed prominently on my living room wall. So it… Continue reading Movie Review: Jurassic World Rebirth
Movie Review: 28 Years Later
Shot completely on iPhones, 28 YEARS LATER is a true return to form for zombie movies, and a welcomed return to the genre and franchise for director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland. A visceral thrill ride, the film is a showcase of gorgeous cinematography, spine-tingling suspense (you will understand this choice of words more… Continue reading Movie Review: 28 Years Later
Movie Review: Dangerous Animals
Remember that meme that was going around, which asked the question of whether you would rather be alone in the woods with a bear or man? Well, DANGEROUS ANIMALS asks the question in a slightly different manner. Would you rather be stuck in the middle of the ocean with a shark or a man? Does… Continue reading Movie Review: Dangerous Animals
Movie Review: Mission Impossible- The Final Reckoning
I have been a huge fan of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE films for the entire run of the franchise. ROGUE NATION, the fifth installation in the series is one of my favorite movies of all time. When else can you say that a franchise has multiple sequels that are even better than the original film? But that's… Continue reading Movie Review: Mission Impossible- The Final Reckoning
Movie Review: Thunderbolts*
THUNDERBOLTS* is the latest entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and while I did find it entertaining enough, I can't say I am as excited about the film as many of my colleagues. Maybe I am still in a state of MCU fatigue, but outside of the stellar lead performance from Florence Pugh, I… Continue reading Movie Review: Thunderbolts*
Movie Review: Sinners
From the trailer, I thought I was going to like Ryan Coogler's latest film SINNERS, but I had no idea just how much I was going to love it. Calling this a "vampire film", while accurate, is almost a disservice because this movie is so much more; and that is coming from someone who loves… Continue reading Movie Review: Sinners
Movie Review: Drop
DROP is one of those movies where you get exactly what you pay for. It is an entertaining, moderately suspenseful whodunnit that will leave you guessing, and may even surprise you. I thought I had it all figured out... until I didn't. Does it veer into the ridiculous by the end? Yes. But the film… Continue reading Movie Review: Drop
