Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and original film trio Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, and Sam Neill star in Jurassic World: Dominion. This film is the sixth entry in the Jurassic Park franchise and was directed by Colin Trevorrow. I had an opportunity to see this film early, and this is my spoiler-free review. Jurassic World: Dominion deals with the premise “what
Read MoreFor those who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers was a childhood staple. The show seemed always paired in a Disney four-pack, along with Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, and Tail Spin. You could find me every Saturday Morning with my bowl of Fruity Pebbles and my color-changing spoon, completely mesmerized by these Disney classics.

Read MoreWelcome to the Multiverse, where any combinations of reality are possible. In this universe, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has finally dropped in theaters and it was definitely worth the wait. From the story to the characters, to the awesome cameos that people will be talking about for a long time, the film has so much potential. So with
Read MoreWanda Maximoff shines bright in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, driving the plot forward as the film’s deadly villain. Elizabeth Olsen tapped into a mother’s duty to portray the grieving, powerful character we all know and love. But while WandaVision portrayed the Scarlet Witch as an emotionally complex character and gave her a perfect arc, Multiverse of Madness throws
Read MoreIt’s been nearly three years since the film’s announcement at San Diego Comic-Con, now Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is finally ready to premiere to audiences worldwide.

Read MoreWhen The Batman was released last month I had no hope for this movie. I was sick of The Long Halloween storyline and I had no faith in Robert Pattinson or DC. I’m so happy that I was proved wrong and it has quickly become my favorite comic book and favorite movie ever. I loved it so much that I saw
Read MoreMovies based on video games get a bad rap. Perhaps it has to do with the films paling in comparison to the video games, unable to capture the essence that made the games great. Or the standard for a great video game movie is set exceptionally high because the games are so fantastic. Either way, it isn’t very often that fans

The film seemed dead on arrival after an extended promotional campaign due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Initially scheduled to premiere in July 2020, the film was delayed multiple times before finally landing in theaters on April 1st. Many critics and
Read MoreEverything Everywhere All At Once was written and directed by a duo who call themselves The Daniels (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert). The film stars some cinema legends working at the absolute top of their game – Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis, James Hong, and the less experienced but equally phenomenal Stephanie Hsu. Regardless of all of that,

I feel like I can confidently say that I was the MOST (and maybe only) excited person to see Morbius that I know, and now I have finally seen it. I’ve been out of the

Linklater worked on two films that defined my childhood, School of Rock and Dazed and Confused, and also delivered Fast Food Nation the same year
