Movie Review: ‘Men in Black: International’ Starring Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Kumail Nanjiani
I was never much of a fan of the Men in Black films. At least that’s what I told my friend leading into this movie before she began shaming me for at least the first one. Maybe it’s having probably only seen it once when it came out in 1997 and not really remembering much […]
Movie Review: X-Men ‘Dark Phoenix’ Starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence
The X-Men franchise just can’t seem to close out a trilogy, it seems. After the greatness of 2000’s X-Men and even more so with 2003’s X2: X-Men United, viewers were left scratching our heads when X-Men: The Last Stand was made to close things out. After a couple of Wolverine films (that actually did get […]
Movie Review: ‘The Hustle’ Starring Anne Hathaway, Rebel Wilson
The Hustle stars Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway as an unlikely pairing of con artists who exploit gullible men for their riches. While Josephine (Hathaway) exploits and steals from the extremely wealthy, Penny (Wilson) is more of a cunning street level performer, luring in douchebag men with a fake dating app profile, but you find […]
Movie Review: ‘UglyDolls’ Starring Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, Janelle Monáe
Let’s take a trip to Uglyville, shall we? The name is not as literal as it sounds. In fact, it’s really quite the contrary. No, the town is called Uglyville because this is where all the defective toys from the factory above get dumped off when one of its manufactured toys don’t pass QA, therefore […]
Review: ‘The Intruder’ Starring Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, Dennis Quaid
The Intruder is the kind of movie that I went into with little to no expectations, yet it still delivers even less. It’s this year’s Breaking In (review), in which we get a cookie-cutter home-invasion movie that serves us nothing more than cheap tricks. The plot is simple. Scott (Michael Ealy) is a young and […]

Movie Review: ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson
In the past eleven years, we as an audience have witnessed something truly remarkable in cinema. After a surprise blockbuster hit in 2008’s Iron Man, we’ve been absolutely spoiled by what’s become the gold standard for comic book to big screen adaptations. While some may not be held on as high of a pedestal as […]
Movie Review: Disneynature’s PENGUINS
Nearly every April since 2011, Disneynature has released a documentary in which we follow a certain species of animal in celebration of Earth Day. There’s been African Cats, Chimpanzee, Bears, and pandas in Born in China, but this year we’re following Steve, an adorable Adélie Penguin in Disneynature’s Penguins. Penguins is directed by Alastair Fothergill […]
Movie Review: ‘High Life’ Starring Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, André Benjamin
When High Life begins, there’s already an ominous feel as to what’s going to happen during its 110-minute runtime. The score is haunting. The halls of this spacecraft are barren while the only sounds being heard is a baby cooing while watching flashes of television. The film cuts to Robert Pattinson outside the spacecraft as […]
Movie Review: ‘The Best of Enemies’ Starring Taraji P. Henson, Sam Rockwell
The Best of Enemies is written and directed by first-timer Robin Bissell and stars Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell as two people on complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Henson plays real-life political activist, Ann Atwater, while Rockwell portrays – you guessed it – an intolerant scumbag named CP Ellis who just so happens […]
