Wonder Woman 1984
In this second installment [Gadot] once again combines intelligence, humor, and athleticism which draws the viewer into her world.
Greenland
The plot and Ric Roman Waugh’s direction are what seemingly make the movie better than it might be otherwise.
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Davis is simply wonderful in her portrayal of the talented and hard as nails Rainey.
Tenet
Washington is decent as the Protagonist but not as good as he was as Ron Stallworth in BlacKkKlansman.
Songbird
Mason’s direction offers an intimate view of Nico and Sara while, at the same time, inviting the viewer into a larger space, depicted through overhead shots (sometimes from a drone).
Wolfwalkers
Wolfwalkers brings together an old tale, an age-old debate, and a skillset that fewer and fewer people possess.
Paramount Presents: Trading Places
Since 48 hrs. had yet to be released, Landis and the studio took a big risk casting Murphy, fortunately, the gamble (pun intended) paid off.
Collateral
While Cruise was obviously the box office draw for Collateral, it was Foxx who was on a career-high in 2004.
Paramount Presents: The Golden Child
Murphy, once again, plays “the coolest guy in the room”, an act we have come to almost expect from him.
