Mortal Kombat (2021)—Review

Note: Slight Spoilers involving what doesn't happen in the film. I'm just going to get to the point: video game movies are notoriously known for their laughably horrendous quality. The video game movies that have been great, in my opinion, are 2019's Pokémon's Detective Pikachu and 2020's Sonic the Hedgehog, with other recent films such …

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 …

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 …

Wonder Woman ’84—A Fun Addition to the DCEU That Builds on the First

I think it is a fair assessment to say that 2020 has been hard on everybody. One of of the less-important yet harder parts for me has been the pandemic's rampage on the movie industry with this year originally set to be one of the best years in entertainment of which that slate included the …

Fatman—Santa’s Very Own 80’s Action Flick

Merry belated Christmas to all who celebrate and happy holidays to those who do not. When I think of the holiday season, I always think of laying on my parents' couch, with a hot drink in hand, watching Christmas movies that range from classics like Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964), modern classics such as Elf …

Artemis Fowl—A Foul Disgrace to Moviemaking and the Fantasy Genre

The popular YA book series from Eoin Colfer was one of my favorites growing up as it was a very different take on the fantasy genre than what the Harry Potter , The Lord of the Rings, and Inheritance Cycle series gave us. Artemis Fowl was inventive, funny, and an overall enjoyable book series that …
