Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is Both Beautiful & Nonsensical (Review)
I knew I’d like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets as soon as I saw the trailers. Fair warning, I liked Valerian for exactly the same reason I liked Gods of Egypt. Visuals were simply stunning. Whether it’s underwater scenes (in a space station!) or...
Ozark: Interesting & Intense But Doesn’t Achieve Greatness (Review)

War for the Planet of the Apes is The Most Emotionally Satisfying Film I’ve Seen in Ages (Review)
War For the Planet of the Apes is the first Planet of the Apes movie I’ve seen since the remake with Mark Wahberg. I was asked why I would start in a trilogy on the third film. The answer is: because that’s what came out this week. The other answer is because a...

This week - another Superhero movie, which means the Superhero Franchise Genre-Killer that I predicted has not yet come to pass. They’re still pumping them out, so I guess I’ll still see them. But I was confused by Spiderman: Homecoming. Where did Spiderman get his...
