John Wick: Chapter 4 sees the titular character (Keanu Reeves) as an unstoppable force ready to battle every mercenary who crosses his path. If they are a trained killer working for The High Table, they want a piece of Wick. The same is true of Wick. After Winston’s (Ian McShane) betrayal in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Wick is ready
Read MoreAs a die-hard fan of the Scream franchise (and an ardent defender of 2011’s Scream 4), I hated 2022’s Scream “requel.” It was a lazy attempt at weaponizing the nostalgia of the original with a newer cast who couldn’t match the incredible chemistry Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette had in the previous installments. Worse yet, none of the performances
Read MoreUnwelcome uses storybook creatures and a spooky forest to tell a haunting story that stays with you long after it’s over. This combination of magical creatures and horror isn’t something that is seen too often, with only a few movies jumping to mind as I’m writing this. So if done right, it’s a major win, although, it’s a risky gamble that
Read MoreCreed III (or Creed 3) reaches new franchise heights. The sequel takes Adonis Creed back to humble beginnings, exploring where the boxer originated. Creed‘s new opponent is not a simple antagonist. He is a personal reflection of Adonis’s upbringing. This ferocious fighter’s tragic story could have easily been Creed’s, if not for his famous father. [Warning: Mild spoilers and impressions from
Read MoreKate DiCamillo is a bit of a powerhouse when it comes to children and young adult literature. She wrote Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tales of Despereaux, and Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures, just to name a few. Her name was a staple in my schooling career, with wholesome stories with excellent life lessons for young readers. All three of these
Read MorePhase 5 has finally begun with the arrival of Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in theaters! The third outing from the Ant-Family sees Scott a.k.a. Ant-Man, Hope a.k.a. The Wasp along with Hank, Janet, and Cassie sucked into the Quantum Realm! If that wasn’t stressful enough, the heroes also come face-to-face with Kang, played by Jonathan Majors. Host Ayla
Read MoreIt feels like it’s been forever since we’ve seen Ant-Man or the Wasp on our screens, with their last appearance in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. After a four-year dry spell, our favorite microscopic heroes are back in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the newest film from Marvel Studios. Quantumania serves not only as the third film in the Ant-Man franchise but also
Read MoreThe MCU is finally ready to kick off Phase 5 of The Multiverse Saga this week with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The new Marvel film stars Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly as Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne, along with Michael Douglas as Hank Pym and Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet Van Dyne. A newcomer to the franchise is Kathryn Newton as
Read MoreWith the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who approaching in November, it’s a good time to revisit some older productions from the Whoniverse. Doctor Who: The Movie is an integral piece from the franchise’s history, linking together the classic and revival eras. The film is a good piece of production, though perhaps it took some time for fans to appreciate it. So
Read MoreM. Night Shyamalan is one of the most contentious filmmakers of our time. Once a bonafide hit-maker with thrillers such as The Sixth Sense and Signs, his stock lowered when audiences failed to connect with his films Lady in the Water and The Happening, before The Last Airbender and After Earth placed him in proverbial “director’s jail”. Nonetheless, he bounced back
Read MoreBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever is a masterpiece of a sequel. The film had to navigate many difficulties on its path to the silver screen, chief of which was the heartbreaking and untimely loss of its lead star Chadwick Boseman. But as we all hoped, Wakanda Forever is indeed a love letter to Boseman – one that keeps his memory alive in
Read MoreI remember being obsessed with Teen Wolf on MTV as a young adult. It wasn’t until the show was well into its third season that one of my best friends turned it on and I found myself hooked instantaneously into the clawed hands of the pack. The adventures of newly created werewolf Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) and his friends were a
