Set roughly 200 years before The Phantom Menace, Marchion Ro and his Nihil minions still plot against the Republic.

Nightmare Alley – A Movie Review
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…

Last Night In Soho – A Movie Review
Last Night In Soho featured some of my favorite talent. Edgar Wright–who directed Shaun Of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Baby Driver–directed this film starring Matt Smith and Anya Taylor-Joy. Many were saying Last Night In Soho was Wright’s foray into true horror, but I found that hard to believe. All of his previous films…

No Time To Die – A Movie Review
I’ve seen most of the James Bond movies, but I have to admit that I wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan. In fact, when I talk to true James Bond aficionados and tell them that Sir Roger Moore has always been my favorite Bond, the look on their faces confirms my belief that James Bond…

The Last Duel – A Movie Review
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,…

The French Dispatch – A Movie Review
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…

Finch – A Movie Review
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…

Werewolves Within – A Movie Review
I honestly had no idea this movie was based on a video game, nor did I really know anything about it. I wanted to see it for one simple reason, and one reason only–Sam Richardson. In my opinion, Sam Richardson is one of the funniest guys out there. I first discovered him on VEEP, and…

The Matrix Resurrections – A Movie Review
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…

The Power Of the Dog – A Movie Review
I remembered The Power Of the Dog having quite a bit of buzz last summer, so now that it’s available on Netflix, I thought I’d give it a try to see what the critics liked so much. If you’re unfamiliar with the premise, The Power Of the Dog takes place in 1925 on a ranch…
