Monday is a dizzying exploration of a tumultuous romance with a fiery spark that darkens when the real world creeps in. Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough give impressive performances, but the repetitive script structure and bizarre third act get in the way of making this a great film.

Godzilla vs. Kong Review
If you’re a fan of Godzilla and King Kong, you’ll probably have some fun seeing these monsters duke it out on screen.

Mank does not prove itself to be David Fincher’s best film. However, fans of filmmaking will enjoy this look at Old Hollywood that feels like it's been taken straight from the era. It’s a technical marvel from cinematography to sound design. Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried stand out with excellent performances in a behind the scenes look at the writing of Citizen Kane.
