★★★★½ Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet' is an incredible action thriller full of dazzling set pieces, incredible performances, and a mind-blowing story to go along with it. The Protagonist (John David Washington) embarks on a dangerous mission to prevent a worldwide catastrophe. After achieving legendary status in Hollywood with his trademark cerebral blockbusters like The Dark Knight, … Continue reading ‘Tenet’ 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

‘1917’ Review
★★★★½ Stunning, breathtaking and exhilarating, Sam Mendes' 1917 instantly becomes a classic in its genre. In 1917, two young soldiers are given the task to deliver a message that could save over a thousand soldiers from an ambush. Mendes has never shied away from sensitive topics. I have always admired his knack for portraying suburban … Continue reading ‘1917’ Review
