One of the many wonderful aspects of having a Netflix account is the ability to browse.

Before I start this review, I must admit to a bit of bias regarding the “Star Wars” franchise. I have been known to make hasty, hype-filled conclusions about movies and games in the past were not at all based on sound logic. For this reason, I have refrained from writing this review immediately ...

Well, regardless of any circumstances, do yourself a favor and see “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” ...
When watching a movie it is rare that I find myself struggling to formulate an opinion on it. A movie that really does not have anything necessarily wrong with it, yet there is just nothing about it that strikes me as unique, nothing about it that inspires reaction out of me. It is not a bad movie, ...
If you’re a fan of Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of “The Shining”, you’re probably going to appreciate diving into the nostalgia interwoven into the new sequel “Doctor Sleep”. For those who’ve read “Doctor Sleep”, this film adaptation is a decent portrayal in relation to the ...

If I know anything about Kanye West at this point in my life, it’s that he is a great producer. And in “Jesus is King”, his latest effort released last Friday night, is an impeccably produced album with great beats. But at this point, this is merely Kanye’s baseline. When he raps, it is better ...
I cannot understate my apprehension regarding 2019s “Zombieland: Double Tap” directed by Ruben Fleischer. It was a movie that seemingly came out of nowhere and from the few trailers that were actually released, it did not look all that great. The first “Zombieland” came out in 2009 and did ...
“El Camino”, directed by Vince Gilligan, is truly average in every sense of the word. There is not a single scene that sticks out to me as anything extraordinary. I’m not saying that there is anything inherently wrong with the movie either, and it definitely serves as a worthwhile epilogue to ...
Horrifically beautiful, unimaginably uncomfortable, and all too real. These are just some phrases that come to mind when I think about my viewing experience for “Joker”, directed by Todd Phillips. This movie is like nothing I have ever seen before from a comic book franchise. It truly sheds off ...
