    Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver

    Recently, my wife and I have begun shopping at a different grocery store. While it has typically been a pleasant experience, I decided to try their store-brand version of Little Debbie's Cosmic Brownies. To my dismay, I was dissatisfied with the generic alternative and found myself wishing I had spent my time getting Cosmic Brownies instead. Unfortunately, I find myself facing an ironically similar disappointment today.

    Rebel Moon- Part Two: The Scargiver is director Zack Snyder's second installment in his…

    The People's Joker

    ★★★½

    Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the premiere of The People’s Joker at New York’s famous movie theater, the IFC Center. Delightfully, lead actress/director/writer Vera Drew also attended to answer some fan questions. Parodying Todd Phillip’s 2019 blockbuster Joker, The People’s Joker reimagines the tears of DC’s clown from a transsexual coming-of-age point of view. Initially imagined as a re-edit of Phillip’s Joker, Vera Drew journeyed down a rabbit hole that film enthusiasts could only dream of. Produced through…

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    ★★★★★

    Five years ago, Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix mesmerized the world with their groundbreaking adaptation of the Joker. By reconstructing the infamous comic book villain within a realistic environment and delving into deeply personal struggles, 2019’s Joker quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Although it was initially envisioned as a standalone film, the immense success of Joker led to inevitable pressure from the studio to, once again, explore the dark and chaotic world of Arthur Fleck.

    Shortly after a sequel was…

    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★★

    In the time since Endgame, the MCU has been through quite a rough period. Once a renowned franchise with the rare miss, the newest phases had lost that streak and instead filled itself with mostly middle-of-the-road material and a rare hit. Unfortunately, Captain America: Brave New World fails to break that mold.

    Four years since the last time we had seen Captain America and six years since he was chosen for the shield, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) hasn't done much.…

  • The Fly

    The Fly

    ★★★★

    The Fly is a film often discussed, but somehow I have never found the opportunity to watch it until recently. Being over 35 years old, most films would look laughable, have cheesy acting, or a simple plot, by modern standard, but The Fly blows away even modern films in comparison. David Cronenberg crafts a story that sends shivers up your spine and makes it difficult to look at the screen, using effects that will still make you uncomfortable to watch.…

  • Blue Beetle

    Blue Beetle

    ★★★★

    Blue Beetle comes at a time where Multiverses are breaking and worlds are ending, but it stays in its own corner and maintains a strong, grounded story with family at the center. The entire main cast are the heart of this film and the hispanic family dynamic feels so real and distinct. I found myself deeply connected to their story and invested in their emotional moments as if I were joining them on the journey as well. While it can…
