I say this with a heavy heart that The Batman (2022) is not as amazing as everyone will tell you that it is
The “Batman” isn’t as good as everyone says it is
Why “Don’t Look Up” should Scare and Depress You
The recent disaster-parody film Don't Look Up offers a bleak reflection of our society from the past few years, and it should scare you not because the end of the world is terrifying, but because the film is so accurate.
Shang-Chi
So I watched another comic book movie set in San Francisco during the throes of my homesickness. Unfortunately this one only spends a small portion in the city, and I gotta say- I want more… Kung Fu MCU Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings is probably the best, most satisfying MCU media to be...

Dune, Part 1
A film review for Timothee Chalamet's Dune, part 1.
Interview with the Vampire
I watched this movie back in 2018, and wrote the review a month later in 2019. I'm publishing it tonight to recommend it as a fun Halloween watch.

Shazam!
I wrote this review on July 25, 2019. Considering the recent success of The Suicide Squad, I thought I'd share my thoughts on this movie and the fate of the DC movies. I had a lot of fun with this movie. I don’t know if it was on purpose, but I think this movie was... Continue Reading →
The Fate of the Furious
The following review was written May 25, 2017 but was not published. It does not follow my recent review structure, but I had a wet dream about Vin so I had to go back and think about the other movies he's been in that I've reviewed. There are so, so many. I’ve just seen a... Continue Reading →
