The loss of Chadwick Boseman is deeply felt with the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. While I admire the film for paying tribute and tackling grief, Wakanda is not the same without the heart and soul of the franchise.

Armageddon Time Review
Armageddon Time is an underwhelming drama about the American Dream that could have been so much more. The film touches on some interesting themes, but its meandering script and lack of characterization keep it from achieving greatness.

Don't Worry Darling Review
Despite all of the drama, Don’t Worry Darling is not an awful film, but it misses the mark on being something truly great. It’s highly reminiscent of the Stepford Wives and The Truman Show with a few too many plot points left unexplained.

See How They Run Review
See How They Run is a stylish meta murder mystery with an impressive cast. Unfortunately it gets bogged down by a lack of tension and flat humor.

Bullet Train Review
While some of the violence and ridiculous finale of Bullet Train could easily be toned down, this makes for an intriguing summer blockbuster that’s a little bit Agatha Christie meets Guy Ritchie. Bullet Train is a stylish, action-packed thrill ride from start to finish.

Thor: Love and Thunder Review
After Ragnarok, Thor: Love and Thunder is a disappointing addition to the Thor franchise. It is plagued by flat humor, tonal issues galore, and a lack of character development. What could have been a whimsical and fun continuation of Thor’s story ends up childish and unmemorable.

Where The Crawdads Sing Review
Where the Crawdads Sing is a middling adaptation of superior source material. The pacing is a mess and the script doesn’t do the best job of building these dynamic characters. Ultimately, the film comes across as a Nicholas Sparks fare, when it could have been a lot more than that.

Elvis Movie Review
Elvis is a harrowing biopic with a phenomenal lead performance by Austin Butler. Baz Luhrmann’s stylistic flair is on full display with this bold, bombastic, and memorable portrait of the iconic rockstar.

Jurassic World: Dominion Review
Jurassic World: Dominion is a bloated blockbuster full of missed opportunities. What could have been a fresh ending to the Jurassic World trilogy instead feels like a monotonous rehashing of every other Jurassic movie. There’s nothing new brought to the table here and, unfortunately, this isn’t a particularly fun summer blockbuster.

Top Gun: Maverick Review
Top Gun: Maverick is a nostalgic, high-flying sequel that’s worth seeing on the big screen.
