Rebel Moon – A Movie Review
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…

The Current War – A Movie Review
Apparently, back in October of 2019, a movie came out called The Current War. It features Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas Edison, Michael Shannon as George Westinghouse, and Nicholas Hoult as Nikola Tesla as they race to perfect the burgeoning electrical industry. My wife and I saw this offered on Amazon but decided to check it…

In-Theater Movies At Home – A Few Thoughts
For years and years I’ve wished that we had the option of watching movies at home the day they arrived in theaters. There are a few movies I must see in the theater, particularly with my Marvel-movie crew, but, for the most part, I thought I’d be happy to pay a little extra and sit…

The Primary Reason I Love Once Upon a Time In Hollywood So Much (Warning: Major Spoilers)
I saw Once Upon a Time In Hollywood last Thursday night, and I loved it. In fact, I love it more today than I did last Thursday. Now, I love it for lots of different reasons. Brad Pitt is at his ultimate level of charm, Leonardo DiCaprio puts on perhaps his best performance ever, Margot…

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.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix – A Movie Review
I just go out of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, and I’ve got some good news for you – it’s not that bad! Sure, that’s not a huge compliment, but, to be honest, I expected it to be terrible. Why did I have such dire expectations? First of all, the constant delays in release is never a…

Aladdin (2019) – A Movie Review
I’m 42 years old, so I was in high school when the original Aladdin debuted. I enjoyed it, especially the Robin Williams performance, but I didn’t consider it a masterpiece nor do I to this day. Fun? Absolutely? Great music? You bet. A holy artifact that should remain untouched for the rest of time? No. …

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…

Bohemian Rhapsody – A Movie Review
It wasn’t until this movie started getting mentioned for Oscar nominations that I gained an interest in it. Honestly, while I like Queen well enough, I had no interest in seeing a biopic about the band. I kind of figured it … wouldn’t be good. How many movies about real bands have been good? Back…

Ben Affleck … I’ll Miss You
You may remember that I’m a strong supporter of Ben Affleck’s Batman. In fact, I wrote a lengthy article a few years ago encouraging Affleck to stick with the role. While Michael Keaton will always be my favorite Batman, with Adam West coming in second, I thought Affleck playing an older, beaten-up Batman worked really…
