Movie Review: GODZILLA VS. KONG Starring Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall
Man, I’ve missed going to movies. I mean, sure, I still watched my fair share of movies at home during isolation, but to me there’s nothing like being there in a theater, having taken out a mortgage to get concessions, and sitting down surrounded by speakers so loud at times you question whether you still […]

This moment in time for Zack Snyder, finally getting to release his version of the 2017 film Justice League, is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.

Movie Review: BOOGIE Starring Taylor Takahashi, Pamelyn Chee, Jorge Lendeborg Jr.
Haven’t done one of these reviews in a while. We live in unprecedented times and I hope the three of you that previously read my reviews are well. If you’ve heard the name Eddie Huang before, there’s a good chance it’s from the popular ABC sitcom, “Fresh Off the Boat.” And if you haven’t seen […]
