3.5 out of 5 stars (above average) Note: If you have epilepsy and/or issues with prolonged loud noises, do not see Godzilla Vs Kong. Godzilla Vs Kong knows exactly what it is, what audiences want from it, and gives them just that. If you enjoyed the human focus in Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla:… Continue Reading
Zack Snyder’s Justice League: A Flawed, Fun Superhero Epic
3.5 out of 5 stars (Above Average) Zack Snyder’s Justice League is an extended cut of the largely unmemorable DC team-up film from 2017.

I’m sad to say that not only does Tenet… Continue Reading
1917: A Technically Impressive Yet Forgettable Exercise
2.5 out of 5 stars (Decent) Every few years, Hollywood will put out an awards-bait war film that usually does something unique with the genre. In 2017, we had Dunkirk (which I never saw), and 2019 had 1917, a World War 1-set war movie notable for appearing to be done entirely in one shot. While… Continue Reading
