Movie Reviews

  • Metal Lords Review

    There have been quite a few films about high school and music. They seem to go hand in hand for some reason. Coming-of-age films lend themselves to a music plot most of the time. It’s a way for young people… Continue reading

  • Everything Everywhere All At Once Review

  • Master Review

    Regina Hall has been an actress who has been under the radar for years now. Her performances in Girls Trip and Think Like a Man have garnered her acclaim, but Support the Girls showed she had more than just comedic chops. She could be an African-American… Continue reading

  • Deep Water Review

    One actor who has been having a resurgence lately is Ben Affleck. Last year, he was in two fantastic films: The Last Duel and The Tender Bar, by Ridley Scott and George Clooney, two incredible directors. His two roles were varied and nuanced.… Continue reading
