6/10 Godzilla vs. Kong delivers epic titan mayhem as promised. Unfortunately, it is all weighed down by a laughable script and a slew of weak and underdeveloped humans taking most of the screen time. In search of his home, Kong is found at odds with an enraged Godzilla, which ultimately leads to an adventure to … Continue reading ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Review

‘Soul’ Review
9.5 | AMAZING 'Soul' is a thought-provoking, visually stunning, and emotionally powerful story that is an instant classic and the best Pixar has done in a long time. 'Soul' deal with Joe, a middle-aged music teacher who has not had the life he expected. When he comes close to having a big opportunity, he unexpectedly … Continue reading ‘Soul’ Review
‘The Comey Rule’ Review
★★★ Brendan Gleeson and Jeff Daniels carry a heavy-handed recreation of the lead up to the 2016 election and Comey's relationship with Trump, with mixed results. The two-part miniseries recounts James Comey's life from his nomination as FBI Director by President Obama to his relationship with President Trump after a disastrous 2016 election decision. There … Continue reading ‘The Comey Rule’ Review
‘Mulan’ Review
★★½ Pretty visuals can't save this dull remake from a weak script, awkward performances, and a noticeable lack of energy. A young woman, Mulan, takes the place of her father in the Imperial Army of China by disguising herself as a man. It's fair to say I've had a complicated relationship with the Disney live-action … Continue reading ‘Mulan’ Review
‘The Kissing Booth 2’ Movie Review
★½ Even with a committed performance by Joey King, ‘The Kissing Booth 2’ can’t overcome its lazy, messy script and overall pointlessness. With boyfriend Noah (Jacob Elordi) off to Harvard, Elle must venture back to high school for her senior year with a long-distance relationship. It’s almost hilarious to see how fast Netflix churns out … Continue reading ‘The Kissing Booth 2’ Movie Review
‘Hamilton’ Review
★★★★☆ Years after becoming a phenomenon, ‘Hamilton’ debuts on Disney+ with a live stage production recording that, while not perfectly adapted to the small screen, proves why it was such a groundbreaking sensation in the first place. Based on the book ‘Alexander Hamilton’ by Ron Chernow, it tells the story of Founding Father Hamilton and … Continue reading ‘Hamilton’ Review
‘Da 5 Bloods’ Review
★★★★½ Spike Lee delivers an epic and riveting adventure with an effective thought-provoking punch, instantly making it one of the best films of his career. 'Da 5 Bloods' finds a group of Vietnam veterans, haunted by their past, searching for a missing treasure and the remains of an old friend. There's little doubt nowadays that … Continue reading ‘Da 5 Bloods’ Review
‘Scoob!’ Review
★ ★ ½ While Scoob! is undeniably gorgeous to look at, the film lacks the charm and mystery the original Hanna-Barbera cartoons had, mostly relying on lazy pop culture references and baby humor, which ultimately makes it a hollow experience. After a falling out with the Mysery Inc., Shaggy and Scooby stumble upon a greater … Continue reading ‘Scoob!’ Review
‘Extraction’ Review
★★★ Chris Hemsworth's 'Extraction' is barely saved from a mediocre script by jaw-dropping action sequences, making it, at the very least, a worthwhile Netflix quarantine watch. After another cartel captures the son of an incarcerated mob boss in India, mercenary Tyler Rake (Hemsworth) is tasked to save him and guard him out of the city. … Continue reading ‘Extraction’ Review
