With a rumored $420 million budget and the distinction of being the most expensive Bollywood film ever made, the Ramayana: Rise of a Legend will either be majorly impressive or impressively bad. There’s little doubt that it will be a massive hit in India. Whether this...
The following is a spoiler-free review of The Mandalorian and Grogu. When The Mandalorian first aired, my husband and I sat down together in front of the television to watch it. That sounds far less dramatic than it actually was. It's rare for us to step away from our...
There are certain movies you watch because you are excited to experience them. Then there are movies you watch because your body has declared war on your immune system and you need something simple enough for your cold-medicated brain to process without emotional...
When I was handed the assignment to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2, my first response wasn’t excitement, it was hesitation. Not because I thought the movie would be bad, but because I had never seen The Devil Wears Prada in the first place. At the time it originally...
Angel Studios ridiculing those who oppose their not-so-secret morality reversal with Animal Farm was not on our bingo cards. But that's exactly how the oft faith-aligned movie distributor is handling a massive backlash for the new movie that has people of all...
As I write this Michael review, I remember June 25, 2009 with uncomfortable clarity. At the time, I was working in a bank call center, the kind of place where your day was measured in hold music, overdraft fees, and the emotional stability of strangers who absolutely...
When it comes to video game movies, adaptations can be challenging. They need to stay true to the source material or risk alienating longtime fans. At the same time, to be successful, they must appeal to a wider audience. Ideally, knowledge of the games should enhance the experience—not be required for it. Many reviews of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie have said it’s “for the fans.” That may be true—but it’s not just for gamers.
I saw Zootopia: Better Zoogether and wrote a review so that you don’t have to sit through this. And, yes, there will be spoilers.
Tron: Ares is not a good movie. We should start This Tron: Ares review honestly, and if that’s all you needed to know, read no more, friends. But if you’d like to understand just what a stinker Disney has shoveled out upon theaters this fall, continue on and I’ll explain.
James Gunn’s much-hyped Peacemaker Season 2 premiere has finally arrived — and I sincerely wish it hadn’t and that I didn’t have to review it… What unspools in the first episode is a chaotic, vulgar, self-indulgent disaster that makes even Gunn’s shaky Superman reboot look like a cinematic triumph by comparison. I enjoyed much of the first season. I like John Cena. But this episode? It is amateurish, infantile dreck with almost nothing redeemable.
This Wednesday Season 2 review contains spoilers for Wednesday Season 2. The first half of Wednesday Season 2 isn’t just a misstep. It’s a systematic unraveling of everything that made The Addams Family a cultural touchstone. READ: Universal Studios Great Britain...
War of the Worlds (2025), the latest and perhaps most baffling adaptation of H.G. Wells’ enduring sci-fi novel, is neither a revival nor an evolution. It’s a clinical, creatively bankrupt exercise in screen-life storytelling that somehow manages to insult not just its source material, but the intelligence of its audience as well. To call it a “mockery” would imply the film has enough self-awareness to be in on the joke. It doesn’t.
For most of my time watching The Fantastic Four: First Steps, my brain entered what I can only describe as a self-imposed protective coma. I wasn’t bored—this was something worse. A sort of subconscious defense mechanism kicked in, shielding me from the slow-motion trainwreck unraveling on screen.
