Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – Movie Review

Now, this is what superhero sequels should be like – a radical deepening of emotional and thematic material accompanied by enough style and visual flair to tie it all together.

Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022) – Movie Review

Either I’m getting old and sentimental, or the Hotel Transylvania movies are getting better as the series goes on.

The Dark Tower

It would be easy to begin with the sentence which both begins and ends Stephen King’s eight-part “Dark Tower” saga. However, it bears no weight since it has very little to do with the film itself. The Man In Black, a.k.a. Walter o’Dim (Matthew McConaughey) is not fleeing from anything or anyone. The Gunslinger, Roland […]

Review: “Passengers”

It seems the space movie has become a requisite for this season: “Gravity”, “Interstellar”, “The Martian”, and now “Passengers”, a celestial romance starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt as star-crossed couple Aurora and Jim. Along with 5,000 other passengers aboard the spacecraft Avalon, they are en route to Homestead II, a planet owned by a […]
