The Old Guard

By | Jul 13, 2020 | Movies, Reviews

The Old Guard is an exercise in one-track filmmaking; it has one great concept which it does justice to, only to leave everything on the periphery shallow and predictable. It’s not a boring movie and it isn’t a bad film, but it’s probably not going to take you by surprise at all. The central quirk […]

Extraction

By | Apr 28, 2020 | Movies, Reviews

Adapted from the graphic novel “Ciudad” written by Ande Parks and the Russo Bros. with art by Fernando León González, Extraction provides a surprisingly solid turn by Chris Hemsworth and a good example of what strong action storytelling looks like all the while falling into a pit of hollow and problematic narrative cliches. With how […]

This is a spoiler-free review. After the disappointment of Terminator Salvation and the cancellation of the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series, it seemed the Terminator franchise was destined to remain a cash grab for Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, Terminator: Dark Fate, which at long last sees the return of creator James Cameron and Linda Hamilton as […]

About 3 months after the Endgame, and before it even leaves theaters, the Marvel Cinematic Universe returns to the big screens with Spider-Man: Far From Home the second solo Tom Holland Spider-man film.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix

By | Jun 6, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

The X-Men Cinematic Universe has been uneven over the years.  Films that focus on singular characters, such as Wolverine and Deadpool, see some of the greatest successes in the franchise. On the flip side, the ensemble films such as X-Men: First Class have had mixed reviews. With a focus on Jean Grey rather than the […]

Avengers: Endgame

By | Apr 23, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

Before I begin, two quick notes: this review will be spoiler free and, at least at the premiere and my press screening, there were no mid/after credits scenes. Since the snap heard ’round the world hit a year ago tomorrow, people have been wondering how Marvel Studios was going to follow up Avengers: Infinity War. […]
