They Shall Not Grow Old Movie / Film Review
They Shall Not Grow Old
While difficult to watch, They Shall Not Grow Old is a loving tribute to a grandfather from his grandson and to a generation of young men who fought bravely and survived.

Glass Movie / Film Review
Glass
Shyamalan does what we expect him to do with Glass and it wraps up these storylines though I don’t know if it was worth the 19-year wait.

On The Basis of Sex
Felicity Jones is excellent as the small-statured spitfire that took on numerous males all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Mortal Engines Movie / Film Review
Mortal Engines
If the steampunk aspect of Mortal Engines is one of the highlights ( and believe me, it is) then the script is one of the lower ones.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Movie / Film Review
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
R.I.P Stan Lee and be comforted in the knowledge that your legions of fans and your works of art will endure for a long time to come. I can't think of a better way to honor Mr. Lee as this film embodies everything we could want.

Ralph Breaks The Internet Movie / Film Review
Ralph Breaks The Internet
As sequels go this one hits the mark.  It is enjoyable and entertaining and offers TONS of Easter eggs for the audience to dissect.  The Disney team did a wonderful job visualizing what the internet might look like from the inside.

Instant Family
Instant Family is a feel-good film during the holiday season and one that should be seen by everyone as it might just start a much-needed dialogue.
