    Having eagerly anticipated Joker: Folie à Deux, I stepped into the theater expecting a cinematic experience that would rival the original. The excellent cast and superb talent were undeniable; their performances were as compelling as one could hope for. The sets, costumes, and makeup were wonderful, meticulously crafted to immerse us in the gritty world…

    Zack Snyder’s most recent foray into the realm of sci-fi action, Rebel Moon, is a cinematic extravaganza that puts his distinctive style and creative vision on full display. Transporting audiences to a distant moon, the film unfolds a narrative where a stranger aids villagers in their struggle against a tyrannical ruling power. While the movie…

    (No spoilers; I’m not a monster.) The wait is finally over–I saw The Flash last night. We need to start with two very simple facts: First, I am a DC apologist; I love DC unabashedly and am somewhat incapable of remaining objective with these characters. Secondly, the Flash has always been my second favorite super…

    I’ll admit that I initially didn’t get too excited by the prospect of yet another new Batman. I happened to like Ben Affleck as Batman and wasn’t quite ready to accept the guy from Twilight as his would-be replacement. To go along with that, I was fully invested in the Snyderverse and didn’t want to…

    Guillermo del Toro is one of my favorite directors. I try to make it to the theater for any of his work. Unfortunately, Nightmare Alley was in and out of the theaters so quickly that I couldn’t free up the two and a half hours necessary to take it in. Luckily, it’s already available on…

    On paper, The Last Duel had a lot going for it. Obviously, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Adam Driver are major draws due to their established talent. Jodie Comer, if you’re not familiar with her, is brilliant in Killing Eve, and I’m very happy to see her transitioning into major motion pictures. And, of course,…

    I truly wanted to see The French Dispatch when it was in theaters but simply couldn’t find the opportunity. Fortunately, it found its way to Blu-ray in record time. Thanks to my local library, I was able to watch it the other night. The French Dispatch is Wes Anderson’s latest film. You know Wes Anderson…

    If you like any combination of dogs, robots, or Tom Hanks, Finch is perfect for you. Found on Apple TV+, Finch is an Apple Original Film starring Tom Hanks and … well, mostly just Tom Hanks. He’s an engineer who survived a massive solar flare that ultimately wiped out most of civilization. He happened to…

    It’s all in the title, folks. The Matrix Resurrections is about bringing things back to life: characters, storylines, themes, a franchise. That being said … I liked The Matrix Resurrections. Bear in mind that I did not conduct a Matrix series re-watch before seeing Resurrections, but I watched the other Matrix movies enough over the…

    For several months now, I’ve heard very good things about The Green Knight. Unfortunately, it got lost in the mix during the pandemic and then the game began of just how much I was willing to pay to stream it since the theaters were no longer an option. The answer is that I wasn’t willing…
