“This sequel is leagues more entertaining than the David Ayer original from 2016. The mood is lighter without sacrificing any of the edge that an R-rating affords, but it doesn’t completely congeal into a cohesive whole.”
Read More"Annette" is a polarizing film and while it may seem startling fresh in 2021, it isn't particularly unique. The easiest comparison may be to "Tommy," another surreal rock opera about fame and violence.”
Read More“CODA” has a beautiful, well-intentioned voice. But the song it’s singing is a reorchestrated cover – some new runs here, a new arrangement there – rather than the wholly original song it could have been.
Read More“While there are still parts of this show I’m still kind of figuring out or hoping to see, I’m really enjoying watching each episode and seeing how these characters and story develop.'“
Read More“Fair or not, Black Widow as a character always felt like a second-class Avenger, and given the placement in the MCU, Black Widow as a movie sadly feels like an afterthought.”

Read More“This ‘Naughty Neighbours’ hooked me but needs to be fleshed out further for a feature film. I hope both Chris Di Staulo and Elizabeth Harris do select to make it so.”
Read More"Schmigadoon" will disappear from memory as quickly as the fog that covers the title town's bridge. But when you're visiting, I can't say it isn't, well, delightful.
Read More“If you haven’t heard of the new HBOMax show Hacks that’s not a surprise. It has flown mostly under the radar.’
Read More“Central Park is funny, optimistic and much smarter than it has any right to be; a show and a song brimming with the kind of gentle joy I don’t see that often. It’s well worth seeking out.”
Read More“There have been few movies in recent memory that have granted me a glimpse to experience life outside of my own quite like In The Heights. And that glimpse has rarely been as glossy and exuberant.”
Read More“The third entry of the primary franchise in this shared universe of eight movies is not the worst of the eight, but it is a notable step down from the previous Conjuring movies.”

Read More“There was and is a lot riding on A Quiet Place Part II. As a sequel, as an intellectual property, and as the first trial balloon for bringing people back to the movie theater. By almost all metrics, it steps out into the unknown and succeeds in its mission.”
Read More“Four words appear at the end of the film: spirituality, humanity, care, and the principles of love. For me, this short film bravely captures these four elements in a symbiotic relationship to each other while wonderfully highlighting the solo work of the brief moment of each artist.”
Read More“The new miniseries “Halston” just dropped on Netflix and it is exactly what you would expect a show about an eccentric fashion designer in the 70’s to look like. It’s a show filled with sex, drugs, alcohol, and a whole lot of egos, just like the designer’s real life.”
