    Kraven the Hunter

    ★★

    I would say that "Kraven the Hunter" is a marginally more competent film in Sony's Spiderverse than "Madame Web" or "Morbius" were recently. But it's much worse than those two films in one crucial way—it's boring as hell. "Madame Web" and "Morbius" were at least entertaining in their shittiness, but "Kraven" is a downright snoozefest. Only Alessandro Nivola's Rhino came closest to entertaining me. I feel sorry for Aaron Taylor-Johnson though; he certainly had to eat a lot of chicken…

    My personal favorite installment of the “Final Destination” series is still the second one. The car crash at the start is the most effective in a series of iconic opening sequences.

But you shouldn't expect any big surprises.

    In any case, it didn't take a minute for me to be captivated by the…

    The Creator

    ★★★★

    Take a juicy filet of the original Star Wars trilogy (and Rogue One), add a good portion of "Blade Runner" as a side dish, and spice everything up with a mixture of "Terminator" and numerous other sci-fi and anime projects, and the result is "The Creator". Director Gareth Edwards' new film really doesn't have much to offer in terms of originality, but a good chef can make a delicious meal out of the leftovers in the fridge, and Edwards actually…
