Pacific Rim: Uprising is a Forgettable & Lazy Sequel (Review)
Blockbuster sequels can be extremely risky and sometimes unnecessary. In 2013 Guillermo Del Toro gave us the entertaining Pacific Rim and it was overall received pretty well. Del Toro did not come back for the sequel and it is incredibly obvious because Pacific Rim:...
Tomb Raider Missed Out on The Things That Made Lara Croft Great (Review)
It might not be fair, but I’m going to be comparing this Tomb Raider to the Laura Croft Tomb Raider in 2001 for the whole review. Because if you’re going to reboot something, you really should make it better. And I’ll spoil the surprise right here: this Tomb Raider...
Tomb Raider is A Step in the Right Direction for Video Game Movies (Review)

A Wrinkle in Time is a Gorgeous but Nonsensical Film With a Solid Emotional Core (Review)
It’s always a bit weird when the director comes on at the beginning of the film and thanks you for coming to see their movie. Why do that? The movie speaks for itself (or should) and if you want to thank me for coming to see it, do it by making the movie awesome. The...

Game Night is Fresh & Original – You’ll be Reminded of People You Know (Review)
Finally a movie that isn’t a sequel, prequel, reboot or based on a comic book series. It’s original, it’s fresh. Thank god. You know, there haven’t been many straight-up comedies lately, which is a shame. It’s always been other types of movies that have funny in...
Black Panther: Finally a Superhero Film That Shows Us How it’s Done (Review)
I have a confession - didn’t want to see Black Panther. I’m sick to the bone of superhero movies, even Marvel. It’s not that they’re bad, it’s just that the genre is overplayed. I’m tired of seeing movies about characters I’ve already seen. I long for original...

Winchester is a Well Made Film That Wanted to be Scary But Just Wasn’t (Review)
Winchester is the second Horror movie of 2018, which makes me happy. We need more good horror and I had such high hopes for it. But the fact that it did not provide advanced screenings did not bode well. What did you have to hide, Winchester? Given that and the...
