Night Shyamalan had involvement as an executive producer on the film and the narrative subtly shows
Read MoreFor me, the release of Superman & Lois season 4 was one of the most awaited pop culture events this year. Many fans already consider it one of the best live-action projects about Superman. For the past few years, Tyler Hoechlin’s performance as Clark Kent/Superman showed perfectly the most famous superhero’s superhuman strength and human vulnerability. Season 4 is the last season
Read MoreI had the opportunity to interview Celine Held and Logan George (writer/director duo) to talk about their upcoming MAX movie, Caddo Lake.

I’d already been granted the opportunity
Read MoreThe opening scene for Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux signals a stark shift in tone from the 2019 Oscar and Golden Lion-winning first installment.

The animation is fairly creative, paying tribute to
Read MoreIt’s incredible how much my opinion of M. Night Shyamalan shifted almost overnight after sitting in front of his 2019 masterpiece, Glass.

Picking up from where Mortal Kombat 1 concluded, the new, upcoming Mortal Kombat II is already heavily awaited. As
Read MoreWhile watching Furiosa; A Mad Max Saga, just remember this is from the same director who made Happy Feet. It’s a fascinating memory to reflect upon that the filmmaker who brought us singing and dancing penguins is also responsible for the nightmarish, brutal landscape surrounding Mad Max. And well, there’s nothing “Happy” about George Miller’s return to the Wasteland of absolute anarchy. The
