While the end of Season 1 of Castle Rock leaves us with more questions than we had at the beginning of the show it is a solid attempt to create a “Kingverse”.
If you are a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe then Ant-man and the Wasp is a terrific addition to your home entertainment collection. It also explains a very valuable plot point as to where this cast was during Avengers: Infinity War.
With the release of The First Purge, the series has now come full circle seeing how the Purge first started and how dangerously close it mirrors today's world.
With a large ensemble cast, the show certainly has tons of characters to keep track of. However, with the pilot episode having been directed by the mastermind of the X-Men Universe, Bryan Singer, it firmly establishes the shows mythology and balance of screen time for many of the characters.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a very bold film, that is the second best in the series. If you are a fan of the series or just really well-made films I highly suggest you pick up a copy of it on 4K UHD. To quote the infamous John Hammond - “They spared no expense”.
Ocean's 8 is a solid reboot with an amazing cast that looks like they had a great time on and off the set. The women are sharp and at no time will one be bored with this film. The only glaring omission is the stylization that was almost a character unto itself in the past Oceans films.
While Rampage will certainly not win any Academy Awards it is a fun ride that has sorely been lacking from the cinema lately. It is truly, in every sense, a fun, popcorn film.
