Barbie Review
After months of non-stop promotion, the long-awaited Barbie movie is finally here. The film based on the famous doll has been in development for years but finally took off when director Greta Gerwig came on board, along with Margot Robbie who would both produce the film and star in the titular role. And, from the moment the film's first still was released, the internet collectively realized something special was in store and the anticipation had begun. Each subsequent traile

Oppenheimer Review
Christopher Nolan is back with the biopic Oppenheimer , his first film since Tenet, the action spectacle that Nolan and Warner Brothers hoped would bring people back to the cinema during the height of the global pandemic. Though Tenet fared as well as it could under such conditions, its performance, along with Warner's decision to stream all other theatrical releases to HBO Max on the same date they debuted in theaters (Tenet excluded), left Nolan's relationship with the st

The Flash Review
There was a good long while when I wondered if The Flash would ever see the light of day. The film suffered numerous delays for a plethora of reasons, including the troubling actions of its star. It seemed inevitable the film would be canned, yet studio heads persisted in insisting that not only would it be released, but it would also be one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Sure enough, the early buzz from advanced screenings was glowing and it seemed DC was su

Sundance 2023 Review - Flora and Son
John Carney's fourth film, Flora and Son was my most anticipated film to debut at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival since I absolutely adore two of the director's previous films, Begin Again and Sing Street. Carney's last film, Sing Street was truly one of my favorite films I've ever had the pleasure of seeing at Sundance, and it's been a long seven years since without any follow-up. His talents have truly been missed and his return was long-awaited (by me). Add Joseph Gordo

Halloween Ends Review
Only a year after Halloween Kills debuted in theaters, its sequel and concluding film of the Halloween (2018) legacy reboot trilogy, Halloween Ends, premieres today. 2018's Halloween was a direct sequel to the original Halloween (1978) ignoring any other canon storylines that already happened. It achieved what felt like an impossible task-- it somehow felt like a fresh beginning to tell new Michael Myers stories, while still being a great film to honor the legacy of the or

Nope Review
Director Jordan Peele's much anticipated third feature film Nope is out in theaters today. Nope follows in the footsteps of Peele's first two critically acclaimed horror hits Get Out and Us. With the release of Nope , all eyes are on Peele to see if he can continue his streak of instant horror classics, or if he has his first misfire on his hands. Early buzz has been positive, comparing the film to M. Night Shyamalan's Signs and Steven Spielberg's Jaws and Close Encounter

Marry Me Review
When I saw the Marry Me trailer in theaters a few months back I laughed and laughed at the preposterousness of its premise. Superstar pop singer Kat Valdez (Jennifer Lopez), is humiliated moments before tying the knot in front of a sold-out concert when she discovers her husband-to-be Bastian (Maluma) has been cheating on her with her assistant. In an attempt to save face, Kat spontaneously decides to marry a random fan in the crowd instead (Owen Wilson), because who makes l
