Sketch
Rating 8/10 If you grew up on movies like E.T., The Goonies, or Gremlins, this will rekindle feelings of nostalgia. Sketch is a sensitive throwback built on childhood wonder and a strong foundation of family. The production from writer-director Seth Worley is a whimsical creature feature, but it’s also a touching reflection on death. Sometimes […]

Had fun joining talkSPORT Radio to chat movies! 🎬 I reviewed The Naked Gun, The Bad Guys 2, and KPop: Demon Hunters. Click below to give it a listen. 🎧👇
The Naked Gun
Rating 7/10 Liam Neeson in a slapstick comedy might sound a little odd. After all, he’s spent most of his career playing stoic characters in dramas and action thrillers. But it’s precisely that serious demeanor that makes his performance so effective. He’s the secret weapon in The Naked Gun. This spirited revival is directed by […]
The Bad Guys 2
Rating 6/10 The original was a surprise hit when it premiered in the spring of 2022. That fast-paced animated caper was based on the popular children’s books by Aaron Blabey. With its slick visuals, snappy dialogue, and a charismatic cast of anthropomorphic criminals, it captivated audiences. So, it was only a matter of time before […]

KPop Demon Hunters
Rating 8/10 I have only a passing familiarity with Korean pop. A handful of scattered radio hits and viral video clips inform my modest familiarity with the genre. I trace my so-called awakening to PSY’s “Gangnam Style” in 2012—a global phenomenon that captivated the world and opened the door for more Korean acts. Soon after, […]
The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Rating 7/10 Fantastic Four: First Steps is more than a blast from the past; it’s a “fantastic” step forward for Marvel’s First Family. Astronauts Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) gain extraordinary powers during a space mission and return as beloved superheroes. Four years […]

Friendship
Rating 7/10 Craig Waterman (Tim Robinson) is a marketing executive in the fictional city of Clovis at a crossroads. His wife, Tami (Kate Mara), has recovered from cancer but feels neglected. He shows little interest in her flower business. She begins to drift back toward her ex-boyfriend Devon (Josh Segarra), leaving Craig feeling sidelined and […]
Superman
Rating 5/10 A lot is riding on Superman. It marks the inaugural entry in the new DC Universe, overseen by James Gunn, who now leads the franchise with Peter Safran. Gunn made his mark at Marvel with the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. He’s now focused on DC, where he’s spearheading a complete cinematic reboot. […]
