Movie Review: Masters of the Universe (2026)

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube The latest adaption of the popular action figure/animated series is a big-screen action/comedy that ultimately doesn’t pull off either genre very well. The plot is pretty straightforward and can be guessed fairly easily by watching any of the trailers. After a solid opening to the story, the film becomes… Read More: Movie Review: Masters of the Universe (2026) »

Movie Review: The Mandalorian and Grogu

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube An enjoyable return to the Star Wars universe that offers few surprises and doesn’t do much to justify bringing these characters from the small screen to the big screen. Overall, the plot is too predictable. After just seeing one or two trailers and watching the first few minutes of… Read More: Movie Review: The Mandalorian and Grogu »

Movie Review: Avatar: Fire and Ash (3D)

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A gorgeous looking film with a handful of strong character moments that is derailed by its long runtime and a plot that mostly repeats story beats and action sequences from the previous “Avatar” film.

Movie Review: The Running Man (2025)

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mostly entertaining film that often seems to be treading water and is only buoyed by its star’s likability. I’ve seen the first film adaption but barely remember it and I’ve read a summary of the novel, so I have two different points of reference going into this remake.… Read More: Movie Review: The Running Man (2025) »

Movie Review: Predator: Badlands

Movie Review: Superman (2025)

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Despite an over-stuffed cast and plot that initially feels all over the place, the film soars by the third act with a back-to-basics take on Superman that captures the heart of the character while still modernizing him.

Movie Review: Jurassic World Rebirth

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Sticking to the basic formula from the previous “Jurassic” films, the latest in the franchise does very little new and is only held afloat by some good action sequences and the personality of the lead characters.

Movie Review: Ballerina

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mediocre action film that is greatly helped by weaving itself into the fringes of the “John Wick” universe and also by a strong action-filled final act. The plot isn’t much different than any other revenge action film, and while the lore of the “Wick” films helps this movie… Read More: Movie Review: Ballerina »
