Movie Review: ‘A Dog’s Journey,’ starring Dennis Quaid, Marge Helgenberger
A Dog’s Journey is not much different from A Dog’s Purpose. The biggest difference in the new sequel is that the film tackles some heavier topics that might be disturbing to younger audiences. We see topics such as alcoholism, death, abusive male partners and poverty tackled in the sequel to the 2017 film. I might […]
Review: ‘Pokémon: Detective Pikachu’ Starring Ryan Reynolds, Justice Smith
If you’ve lived somewhere with internet or tv within the last 25 years, there’s not much of a chance you haven’t heard of the Pokémon phenomenon. If you haven’t, well, you’re not reading this. Seriously, this franchise is a juggernaut. With over 300 million video games sold, a TV show that’s spanned 20 years and […]
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: ‘Long Shot’ Hits All the Right Marks
It may not seem like a great pairing – stoner-comedy star Seth Rogen opposite beautiful, straight-laced Charlize Theron – but Long Shot gets it right. While Rogen is at his best in the new film, Theron steals the show. Unlike most female leads in rom-coms, Theron isn’t your sweet, 16 Candles character. In Long Shot, […]
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: ‘The Curse of La Llorona’ Starring Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz, Patricia Velasquez
Michael Chave’s new film The Curse of La Llorona is the latest movie to be released under the umbrella of films existing within the horrifying cinematic ‘Conjuring Universe.’ While the film’s marketing was that of a standalone horror flick, it was confirmed by producers to be a part of the canon when the trailer showed […]
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 […]
