Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness – A Movie Review
No pun intended, but it’s very strange to me that Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen have, in many ways, become the heart and soul of the MCU. I happen to really like both of them as actors, but I never dreamed Cumberbatch would play such a significant role across many MCU films after his initial…

Eternals – A Movie Review
Let’s get right down to it – this movie is far better than the critics would have you believe. Is it a touch too long? For sure. Is it a tad melodramatic at times? Most definitely. However, knowing what I know about Eternals from the comic books, I told people not to expect Avengers or…

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – A Movie Review
My daughter and I, who both love movies, haven’t been to a theater during the entire pandemic. However, for an MCU theater-only release, and because we’re both vaccinated, we decided to make our triumphant return in order to see Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. I won’t lie – it wasn’t a totally…

Black Widow – A Movie Review
Let me put it simply–it was worth the wait. We just finished watching Black Widow on Disney+. It’s full of story, full of action, full of humor, and full of heart. I have to be honest–I’m stunned. I honestly didn’t think we needed a Black Widow movie. Obviously, I was wrong. I promise not to…

WandaVision – My First Impression
The long wait is over and the MCU streaming shows have finally arrived at Disney Plus! First up? WandaVision. Personally, the wait was well worth it. I don’t know what I expected from WandaVision, but it certainly exceeded whatever I had in mind. I’d like to initially say that the show is most delightful because…

The Ride Of a Lifetime by Robert Iger – A Book Review
No one is more surprised that I’ve become a Disney acolyte than, well, me. The serious devotion began after visiting Walt Disney World. Since then, I’ve paid close attention to Disney’s dealings–both past and present. The acquisition of Pixar, securing Marvel, getting hold of the Star Wars intellectual properties, taking Fox, introducing Disney+ … these…

Spider-Man: Far From Home – A Movie Review
Spider-Man: Far From Home is an impressive exhibition of visual effects with some great one-liners, but the most interesting thing about the movie happens during the middle and end of the credits. If you’re not familiar with the plot, Spider-Man: Far From Home sends Peter Parker and his classmates on a European vacation. While there,…

Captain Marvel – A Movie Review
The good news is that my original concern regarding Captain Marvel seems unfounded. The bad news is that Captain Marvel is a wasted opportunity. Allow me to elaborate. I won’t go into too much detail about this movie for fear of spoiling it for you, but I will discuss some broad strokes. First of all,…

My Unpopular Concern Regarding Captain Marvel
There’s a lot riding on Marvel’s latest installment, Captain Marvel. With this being the final chapter leading into what we can only believe to be the end of the current iteration of Marvel movies (a journey that’s lasted over ten years), Captain Marvel has to get it just right. I have three concerns I’d like to…

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – A Movie Review
When I first saw the trailer for this movie and noticed it was PG, I thought, “Huh. That might be one for the kids and me.” We weren’t in a rush to see it, mind you, but as the reviews kept praising it, and as Rotten Tomatoes continued to maintain a 97% “fresh” rate, I…
