Shazam! – A Movie Review
If you’re looking for a family-friendly entry to the cinematic DC universe, Shazam! is your ticket! Lighthearted, funny, and full of positive messages, this film will appeal to kids and adults alike.

The New Joker Trailer Proved Me Wrong
Did you know they are making a standalone Joker movie? Truthfully, when I first heard about this film, it sparked not one bit of interest from me for a number of reasons. Firstly, I believe the Joker is one of those characters that exists best on the fringes. The less we know about him, the…

Velvet Buzzsaw – A Movie Review
If you’re looking for a gloriously weird movie that’s a little funny, a little scary, a little tongue-in-cheek, and a little masterful, check out the Netflix original film called Velvet Buzzsaw. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Morf Vandewalt, a prestigious art critic with the world at his feet. He’s in love with Josephina, played by Zawe Ashton. …

A Close Call
~The car crossed the center line and headed right for me. There was nothing I could do but wait and see what happened next.~ I had a close call this morning.
