‘Alien’ Review: A Fantastic Sci-Fi Horror Classic to Watch for Halloween

Every year when Christmas comes around, I can’t help but use the cash in my pocket to indulge myself and buy some movies. Well, buying so many at one time means that some of them are condemned to sit in my ever-growing collection until I get the random urge to sit down and watch them. That was the case after I

Spoiler Free ‘Dune’ Review: An Immersive Experience Like None Other

Denis Villeneuve is an excellent director and has proven such time and time again. But he’s also a director that likes to take his time, and I can understand why some people lose patience with a film like this. I’m not going to pretend that my first viewing went down easy, it didn’t, but it reminds me a lot of Villeneuve’s

Review: Batwoman Season 3 Opener is All About Family

Review: ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ Season 7 Premiere

With the last season’s finale of Legends of Tomorrow airing just over a month ago on September 5th, it feels odd that season seven is already premiering. Although, much like the small time gap between the two seasons, little time had passed in the show as well. Season seven picks up a day later, with the Legends stranded in 1925 Odessa

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Review

I can’t think of a time in my life when I didn’t love the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The film I’m reviewing here came out only 6 months after I was born, so a lot of my childhood was spent in front of the TV viewing and reviewing the various adventures of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann. So,

Review: ‘Among the Stars’ on Disney Plus

Disney+ has provided us with a new incredible space documentary series of 6 episodes that encapsulates the missions to repair a leak on the AMS (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer).

‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Review: Non-Stop Fun

Ever since Venom was a smashing success, even hitting 800 million at the box office, I knew that a sequel would be inevitable. I honestly didn’t love the first Venom until recently and wasn’t too excited for a sequel. BUT, that all changed a couple of weeks ago when Fandango’s Erik Davis confirmed on his Twitter that Venom: Let There Be

Looking Back At ‘Venom’ While Preparing For Carnage

I’ll admit, before the release of the film in 2018, I wasn’t confident Venom would see much success at all, let alone enough to warrant a follow-up. But here we are, over 800 million dollars at the box office later and only a couple of days away from the release of the film’s sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage, I think

“Star Wars: Visions” Review: Trigger and Production I.G

For decades, Star Wars‘ main story has always focused on the history of the Skywalker bloodline, from Anakin Skywalker and the tragedy of Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker and his rise to Jedi Knighthood and the legacy that these characters left behind. Their adventures and stories truly shaped what we know about the Star Wars universe. Something fascinating about the concept of Star

‘Foundation’ Episodes 1 and 2 Review: Bold But Hollow

The first two episodes of Apple TV’s Foundation are finally out and I’m a little bit conflicted. While it never fails to flaunt their absolutely stunning visual capabilities and certainly attempts to cover some heavy themes, I’m left wanting more so far. And in the worst possible way. Beware! Minor spoilers for the two-episode premiere of Foundation are below. To begin,

‘Star Wars: Visions’ Review: Kamikaze Douga and Science SARU

The first Star Wars Disney+ show to star 100% new characters, concepts, and history, Star Wars: Visions is sublime. It is jaw-dropping. It is fun, it is stoic, it is heartbreaking, it is visually and musically stunning. And more than anything, it is Star Wars.
