For as far back as I can remember, I’ve always loved ranking things. My parents to this day will bring up how annoyed they’d get after every movie we’d see when I’d bombard them with questions about where they’d rank a movie based on this or that. I’d ask them to rank books, different kinds …

Religious centered movies are really hit or miss with me. There are some out there that are excellent. But religious movies often strike me as artificial. Collectively, I think relatability is a key element to a good religion-based film.
Back in 2019, I was a bit surprised to find that the video game-based kids movie, "Sonic the Hedgehog," turned out to be overall an entertaining film. That’s largely due to my familiarity with the game it’s based on. Films based on games tend to be hit or miss. It's not a perfect movie, but it doesn't have to be.
In the latest Batman film, “The Batman,” released March 4, we get a detective superhero, played this time by Robert Pattinson and directed by Matt Reeves. Unlike previous movies, the audience is expected to know Batman’s back story, as it’s not depicted in the story.
The next sequel to the 1974 slasher film, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" lives up to its title as far as blood and gore is concerned. The brains, though, are few.
Director Roland Emmerich is often called the “Master of Disaster” when it comes to his movies. And the moon now falls among his science fiction rogues gallery of “villains” that nearly annihilate the entire earth in his latest sci-fi disaster flick, “Moonfall.”
"Ghostbusters Afterlife" picks up more than 30 years later after what the movie calls the "interdimensional crossrip" of 1984 - the events from "Ghostbusters."

Last week I completed a journey. This journey took me from Los Angeles to Miami to Tokyo, Mexico, Rio de Janeiro, England, Abu Dhabi, Russian Siberia, Samoa and most recently, space and I did it all over the last two and a half months.

I consider myself a fairly well-traveled movie watcher. But, like almost everyone, I have significant holes in my movie-watching repertoire. It’s to be expected. New movies are released every day, especially as more and more streaming options take hold on the world, and I’m only 27 years old.

The first thing that I realized I had forgotten about the movie-going experience were the ads. Don’t get me wrong, I like a trailer or three as much as the next guy. In fact, considering it had more than year since my last regular movie going experience, I was looking forward to A FEW coming…

Some Kind of Heaven is a documentary from first time full-length documentarian Lance Oppenheim that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020 and recently dropped on Hulu in mid-May.
My introduction to actor Michael B. Jordan was the 2013 movie Fruitvale Station about the tragic true story of 22-year old Oscar Grant III who was fatally shot in Oakland, Calif. by a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) police officer in 2009. It was a big role to fill. When I watched Fruitvale St…
Two Fridays ago, Netflix released the Sony animated comedy The Mitchells vs. the Machines, a movie about your average, everyday, flawed family led by college-bound teenager Katie Mitchell (voiced by Broad City’s Abbi Jacobson), an aspiring filmmaker who, along with her parents, Rick (Eastbou…

Godzilla, the “King of the Monsters,” versus King Kong is a monster rematch audiences have waited nearly 60 years to see.
Actor Thomas Lennon once said “no one in Hollywood sets out to make a bad movie, but 99 percent of the time, that’s what happens.”
It’s almost cliche to mention how sequels are rarely equal or better than their predecessors. They don’t necessarily need to be better. Sequels just need to continue telling the story audiences left off with in part one, if there’s actually more to the story to tell. They need to at least co…
Movies based on cartoons are more miss than hit with me.
