Nobody—Review
One of the best action franchises out there right now is Lionsgate’s John Wick (2014- ), and its writer, Derek Kolstad is a big part of that as he is the current king of writing action—his episodes of Marvel and Disney’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) are just further proof of this. One …
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)—Review
I love kaiju films. From the very first King Kong (1933) to the incredible reign of Toho films, beginning with Godzilla (1954), to our new age of films such as Peter Jackson’s King Kong (2005), Pacific Rim (2013), and Shin Godzilla (2016). Trying to capture Disney’s success with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all of the …
Zack Snyder’s Justice League—Review
As a huge comic book fan, one of the largest disappointments in cinema over the recent years has been Zack Snyder’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017). That said, the 2017 Justice League film has had an asterisk for the way the film was treated during production. Throughout the entire …
Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)—Review
Last year, 2020, was a year full of civil unrest due to the mistreatment of the Black Community by members of law enforcement. This is a problem that has perpetuated throughout the entirety of America’s history, and among the many important instances throughout that history, one of the largest periods of this unrest occurred during …
WandaVision (2021)—Series Review
I am a comic book fanatic and have been ever since I first sat down and watched the ’90s Spider-Man and X-Men cartoons. Ever since Iron Man (2008), Marvel has been creating this vast world that both comic book lovers like myself and people who see the colorful costumes and roll their eyes have fallen …
Promising Young Woman (2020)—Emerald Fennell’s Directorial Debut Is A Dark Thrill Ride Of Revenge
One of the films that I’ve been waiting to see since I saw its initial trailer is Promising Young Woman. From that first trailer, I knew that this film would be a fun ride from beginning to end, and I am happy to say my intuition was correct. Emerald Fennell, who has previously only acted …
Sweet Home (Season 1)—Netflix’s Live Action Take On Korean Webtoon Promises A Strong New Franchise
I have always been a fan of foreign cinema and television, particularly properties from Japan and France. However, it wasn’t until I sat down to watch the high-octane and dramatic zombie thriller Train to Busan (2016) that Korean properties really grabbed my attention and instantly captivated me. A big appeal to Korean films and shows …
Alice in Borderland (2020) Season 1—Review
One of the last big outputs of 2020 content from Netflix came in the form of several foreign television shows in December. One of the ones I sat down to watch was an adaptation of a popular Japanese suspense manga, Alice in Borderland (Imawa no Kuni no Arisu, original Japanese name) and it was quite …
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom—Boseman’s Swan Song May Be His Greatest Performance
One of the hardest losses in the pop-culture sphere during the mayhem of 2020 was the life of Chadwick Boseman. While he was best known for his role as Marvel’s King T’Challa, the Black Panther, Boseman had a career filled with great performances. For most people, his best performance pre-Panther was his portrayal of Jackie …

Soul—Pixar Never Fails to Delight With the Metaphysical
The last film I got to see in theaters before the initial theater shutdown back in March was Pixar’s Onward which hit every mark and instantly became one of my favorite Pixar films. With Pixar’s fantastic reputation of creating films that I absolutely adore, I was extremely excited for their second film on the 2020 …
