It oozes old-fashioned entertainment. That’s “Aquaman” in a nutshell, DC’s latest superhero to finally get his own standalone film. But who would have thought that after the super serious “Batman V Superman” and “Justice League”, “Aquaman” would be their funniest entry in the series? What’s more, Jason Momoa […]
Believe the hype. “Into The “Spider-Verse” isn’t some animated spin-off that will eventually get lost in the shuffle. It’s one of the best “Spider-Man” movies ever made and my personal favorite since Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2”. It gave me a lot to cheer for: a fresh concept and […]
I was compiling my list of the year’s worst movies when I noticed that this film was playing at the local multiplex this week. So naturally, I had to see it. And I wasn’t disappointed at all: this is one of my favorite “bad” movies of the year; […]
“Ben is Back” is at once intriguing and frustrating. While the first half grabbed me, I found myself losing interest after the hour mark. But at least I can start on positive note. Writer director Peter Hedges opens his movie with a bang: Julia Robert’s drug addicted son […]

Simply put, “Green Book” is one of the best movies of the year. It celebrates friendship and family in a way that feels irresistible, thanks to a clever script, and, above all, a pair of terrific performances by Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. They’re both a marvel, and watching […]
This Netflix movie came out of nowhere. I had no idea what it was, I wasn’t familiar with most of the actors, but somehow I ended up clicking play. Much to my surprise, it was an intriguing thriller, a bit similar to “Searching”, but not quite as good. […]
It’s been a few hours since I’ve witnessed this atrocity and I only have one question: why the hell would they make a bad “Robin Hood” movie in 2018? Either do it right or don’t do it at all. I’ll cut right to the chase: This movie has […]
If there’s one animated movie that truly appealed to me these past few years, “Wreck it Ralph” would be it. Here’s a character straight out of an 80’s arcade game, and as someone who loves retro games and owns an arcade cabinet at home, you can tell just […]
