Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mostly fun ride that could wrap up in a much shorter runtime if not for the almost-too convoluted time-travel/alternate universe aspects. If you’ve seen the trailers and read the “Flashpoint” story that inspired this, then this film is fairly predictable outside of some nuances. The movie has its… Read More: Movie Review: The Flash »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Despite the mediocre villain and the uninspiring plot, this film is still an emotional ride thanks to the character moments that pay off many plot points, some going all the way back to the first film. The basic plot is fairly straightforward, but with a few obstacles peppered-in plus… Read More: Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube With eye-catching visuals, likable characters and some fun action, kids should love this film. Add in the fact that it’s based on the Super Mario games, and you have something that fans of that franchise will love.

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mildly entertaining film that feels like a bit of a throwback to late 90’s era action flicks.

The plot is relatively simple, but there’s a strange execution to it, with chapter… Read More: Movie Review: Nope »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Playing more like a sequel to “WandaVision” than the first “Doctor Strange,” the latest MCU addition brings a little more flash and spectacle than a satisfying story.

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube While working great as a sendoff to Daniel Craig’s era of playing James Bond, a too vaguely-defined threat and a mediocre villain suck the urgency out of this film. (Not to mention the nearly three-hour long runtime.) While I’ve enjoyed the latest era of Bond films, I haven’t revisited… Read More: Movie Review: No Time to Die »
Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mildly entertaining ride that alternates between ridiculous action and family drama, but rarely deviates from the formula established by the last 6 or so films in the franchise. If you’re not a fan of the previous “Fast” films, this latest entry isn’t going to change your mind. The… Read More: Movie Review: F9 »
