Second Opinion: ‘Morbius’ is Better than Critics Say

Is there a doctor in the house? Because it seems like Morbius’s box office performance could use a little resuscitation.

Review: ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ is An Emotional Heavyweight

Everything Everywhere All At Once was written and directed by a duo who call themselves The Daniels (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert).

Review: ‘The Batman’ is a Technical Achievement (Spoilers)

Matt Reeves’ The Batman is one of my favorite movies that I’ve ever seen: point blank period. In a franchise with at least ten movies and a sub-genre as saturated as comic book movies, it’s hard to imagine reinventing the wheel to such a degree that The Batman achieves, but boy, do they ever achieve it. With a stunning visual style, unique take on a

‘The Batman’ Review: A New Era for Superhero Films

After multiple difficulties with filming and delays involving the COVID-19 pandemic, The Batman will finally make its debut in theaters this coming Friday. The film, directed by Matt Reeves, stars Robert Pattinson as the titular character Batman, aka billionaire CEO Bruce Wayne.
