2.5 out of 5 stars (Decent) I have always been a casual Star Wars fan. Outside of Solo, I enjoyed the movies well enough and have dabbled in some of the games and shows, but I don’t have a deep connection with this franchise others do. As a casual fan, I found Star Wars: The… Continue Reading
Spider-Man: Far From Home: Flawed but Ambitious Sequel Swings High
4 out of 5 stars for Spidey fans, 3 out of 5 for nonfans. Spider-Man: Far From Home is one of the most bizarre superhero movies I’ve ever seen.

3 out of 5 stars (average) Ready Player One is one of the most visually inventive movies I have ever seen. Director Steven Spielberg has created some of the most gorgeous environments ever put to film, and should definitely gain some Oscar buzz next year. Add in enough pop culture references to fill up 3 months… Continue Reading
Pacific Rim Uprising: Fun Sci-Fi Sequel Should Satisfy its Fan base
3 out of 5 stars (average) Pacific Rim Uprising is, above all else, a live-action cartoon. Its dialogue is cheesy, the characters are basic, and most of the story that is here can be predicted by space satellites. But who seriously goes to a movie called Pacific Rim Uprising expecting a deep narrative? All most… Continue Reading
