Shaun of the Dead (2004) Review
I rarely do summaries of films. Just go to Wikipedia if you want that. But this still may contain spoilers! It’s hard to believe that the guy who directed 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange could create something like Eyes Wide Shut. Is that a compliment or an insult? Well, depending on how […]

I wasn’t 100% sold on the trailer, I can’t stand the typical posh British accent in films, you know the ONLY British accent that seems to exist in the film industry… Well as soon as I heard this accent come out of Enola Holmes mouth I kind of checked out, but then I watched it. […]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 5 out of 5. There are plenty of documentaries about the YPJ (Women’s Protection Units) that talk about many heroic women that stand for their land against ISIS. Some women are recruiters while most of them have their own stories to share before joining the army forces. “No Man’s Land”, from HULU, created […]

The Wilds attempts to find a balance between mystery and survival while exploring the past of each stranded girl with flashbacks. While I can’t dismiss the similarities between both shows, does The Wilds do enough to stand apart from LOST? Let’s find out…
Spoiler-Free Review of “The Wilds” on Prime Video: So Much More than a “LOST” Rip-Off
The “Bill & Ted” movies are cult favorites, and I think it’s safe to say that without the support of fans, “Bill & Ted Face the Music”—the third movie in the series and the first one since 1991’s “Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey”—might not have receiving the funding it needed to happen. Thirty years is […]

Film Review – The New Mutants (2020)
Over the weekend we should have celebrated Chadwick Boseman’s 44th birthday. It probably would have been mostly unremarkable and easily missed. There would have been a trending hashtag on Twitter, #HappyBdayBlackPanther #HBDChad. And Chris Evans or Mark Ruffalo or someone in the Marvel family would have had tweeted a sarcastic birthday wish mentioning Royalty or […]
