‘Lanterns’ Premiere Review: A Thrilling Start for DCU’s First Green Lantern Mystery

After many years of false starts, constantly changing plans, and not-so-positive results in the form of a Green Lantern movie 15 years ago, DC’s Green Space Cops finally return to our screens. The Lanterns season 1 premiere is a much more confident approach that treats Hal Jordan and John Stewart as detectives first, superheroes second, and damaged people (each in their

‘President Curtis’ Premiere and Episode 2 Review: Leadership in a Chaotic Universe

Rick & Morty spinoff President Curtis shifts focus towards the White House and the impossible burden of ruling a country and a planet where alien invasions, interdimensional travels, ancient monsters, and reality-bending catastrophes have become almost another Monday. President Curtis certainly shares plenty of things in common with its predecessor. The same style of jokes, bizarre science-fiction events, chaotic absurdity, and

‘Futurama’ Season 14 Premiere Review: Nostalgia and New Adventures

Futurama simply refuses to leave our lives, and that’s very good news. As a fan of this show, with every new season, I feel like I’m still visiting a place that somehow continues existing regardless of how much the world around it changes. With Futurama season 14, as with previous seasons, Fry is still looking at the future through the eyes

‘Stuart Fails to Save the Universe’ Season 1 Review

Throughout The Big Bang Theory, Stuart (Kevin Sussman) struggled to save his comic book store, his bank account, his relationships, or simply whatever remained of his dignity after spending another evening with people who were considerably more successful than him.

Fantasia Fest 2026: ‘You Are The Film’ Review

Fantasia International Film Festival 2026 brought a familiar talent to the festival.

‘Supergirl’ Review: Soaring on Milly Alcock’s Charisma

Supergirl is a movie with a preset of internet haters ready to cast vitriol against the film regardless of the outcome. For most of those naysayers, they probably don’t know why they are eager to cast a dark cloud on the property, except for a “girl in hero costume bad” mentality. The anger towards this specific movie is even more questionable

‘Disclosure Day’ Review: Spielberg Takes a Thrilling Sci-Fi Swing

Back in the early 2000s, Roger Ebert dubbed Minority Report a “triumph” during a time, as he called it, “when movies think they have to choose between action and ideas.” And this was during a creative era for Spielberg, when the iconic director felt emboldened to explore new territory. UFOs may not be fresh material for the E.T. filmmaker, but Disclosure Day feels very

‘Masters of the Universe’ Review: A Bowl of Sugary Spectacle

Masters of the Universe is an adaptation that could only be made in 2026. In a different Hollywood system, the movie would be ripe for marketing towards the “meathead” action-based market. The first attempt with Dolph Lundgren, for example, was clearly a product of the old thinking. That somehow, macho, masculine behavior, and fantasy are box office-winning formulas. Filmmaker Travis Knight’s

‘Mortal Kombat II’ Review: A Sequel That Hits Hard and Ages Harder

Mortal Kombat II has everything a movie based on the video game should have. There are extended fight scenes with excessive gore, faithful character portrayals, and visual recreations of various game levels. Yet, for a movie that hasn’t even been released in theaters, it feels as dated as a Sega Genesis console. The sequel introduces new ideas. One of them is bringing

Project Hail Mary took audiences by storm last weekend. Adapted from the groundbreaking science fiction novel written by Andy Weir, the film achieved a record-breaking box office opening and is beloved by critics and audiences alike.
