THE HUB

I made the mistake of going into this movie completely blind. I didn't look up the premise beforehand, and honestly, I probably should have. The film follows Rudd (John Cena), a struggling realtor who's trying to build a name for himself while living in the shadow of his much more successful older brother Josh, played by Christopher Meloni. When Rudd gets a call saying his brother has been involved in an accident, he rushes to the hospital only to discover they're not talking

Supergirl is a story about grief, healing, and trying to do the right thing even when every part of you wants to do the opposite. Milly Alcock stars as Kara Zor-El, the Woman of Tomorrow, and she absolutely nails it. I've enjoyed most of what the DCU has put out so far, and I loved Superman, so I was excited going into this one. While Supergirl isn't a perfect film, it's definitely one I had a good time with. The biggest strength of this movie is the cast. Jason Momoa as Lobo

Disclosure Day is the latest film from Hollywood icon Steven Spielberg and sees the Oscar-winning director return to the sci-fi genre for the first time since Ready Player One in 2018. This was a film I was highly anticipating, especially after Spielberg's last two films proved that, even in his late 70s, he can still tell compelling stories. So, does Disclosure Day continue that trend? Here are my thoughts. One thing I really liked about the film was its story. While the ope

Voicemails for Isabelle: Netflix’s Newest Classic Rom Com This article contains light spoilers. Grab your tissues, everyone. Netflix’s newest rom-com, Voicemails for Isabelle, just dropped, and it’s definitely a tearjerker. Inspired by You’ve Got Mail, the film follows Jill (Zoey Deutch), an aspiring baker trying to live out the dreams she and her sister once shared. When her sister and best friend, Izzy (Ciara Bravo), passes away after a long battle with cystic fibrosis, Ji

Scary Movie, Scary Movie 6, whatever you want to call it,one thing is for sure: it was great to see the Wayans family take their franchise back. I'm not going to lie, I went into this movie with pretty low expectations. I ended up seeing it later than most people, and because it's a parody film, I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking. But I've always been a fan of the Wayans brothers, and their fingerprints are all over this movie. The best part of the film for me was see

Walt Disney Animation Studios has officially unveiled the first teaser trailer for Hexed, its milestone 65th animated feature film. Scheduled to land exclusively in theaters this holiday season, the fantasy-comedy marks a distinct shift for the studio, trading classic fairy tale tropes for a modern, slightly unhinged look at the supernatural. The initial footage introduces audiences to Billie, an impulsive teenager who has always felt completely out of place in her mundane su

Toy Story 5 releases in theaters this Friday, but I had the opportunity to see it last week, and I'm here to tell you with 100% certainty: this movie is amazing. From start to finish, Toy Story 5 delivers a story packed with heart, humor, and one of the most relevant messages Pixar has tackled in this franchise. The film explores how much childhood has changed over the years and how technology has slowly replaced some of the things kids used to love, including toys. All of yo

Boots Riley’s sophomore film, I Love Boosters, is finally out, and opinions are definitely mixed. As someone who went into the movie without having seen any of Riley’s previous work, I walked away with mixed feelings myself. Spoilers ahead. The trailer had me excited for a comedy centered around the Velvet Gang, a group of female boosters who regularly shoplift from Metro Designers, a fashion chain run by Christie Smith. The Velvet Gang takes things one step further by becomi

Masters of the Universe is the long-awaited reboot of the beloved 1980s franchise, and as someone who has never been deeply invested in the world of He-Man, I can confidently say this film completely won me over. Whether you're a lifelong fan of the source material or a newcomer like me, this movie delivers an exciting, emotional, and visually stunning adventure that deserves to be experienced on the biggest screen possible. Leading the cast is Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Ad

I will admit that this is my first viewing of this movie, but I was so excited and honored to be able to watch a newly restored version for the 25th Anniversary of the film. Thank you to the creators and team for allowing me to screen an early release of this for review. By Hook or By Crook is truly a testament and landmark of queer cinema, particularly the trans and gender non-conforming subgenre in film. On the surface level, the film has a pretty simple overarching premis

I went into this Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy expecting something light and maybe a little forgettable but I was genuinely surprised. Co-written by Brett Goldstein, the film is corny in all the right ways, full of charm, humor, and a few eye-opening moments that make it more interesting than expected. Overall, this is a fun, exciting ride of entertainment that surprises and tickles the fancy with its blend of romance and life. It has ridiculous moments, super performances a

The game is afoot once again, and by "the game," we mean Millie Bobby Brown running around in Victorian clothing while staring directly into our souls. Netflix just dropped the first teaser trailer for Enola Holmes 3, and it looks like the youngest Holmes sibling is about to face her biggest headache yet. If you thought dealing with high-society matchmaking was tough, try finding a missing world-famous detective. Here is everything we know from the action-packed Enola Holmes

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War promised to be the grand cinematic victory lap for John Krasinski’s desk-analyst-turned-action-hero. After four seasons of navigating complex geopolitical chess boards on Prime Video, our favorite Boy Scout spy is back, trading the small screen for a hefty $100 million feature film budget. But while the cinematic upgrade brings bigger explosions and glossier aerial shots of Dubai, the actual substance of the franchise seems to have vanished i

The galaxy far, far away returns to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu, the latest chapter continuing the story that began in The Mandalorian. But does the father-son duo actually justify the price of an IMAX ticket? As a casual Star Wars fan, I’m the target audience for a lot of this modern Lucasfilm era. I’ve seen all the main films and caught some of the Disney+ shows but please don’t ask me hyper-specific lore questions. If you want to know exactly what a background

“No one is safe.” That’s exactly the vibe Mortal Kombat 2 brings and honestly, it delivers way more than I expected. I had the chance to attend an early screening, and this movie is a full-on, nonstop thrill ride that leans hard into what fans love. I will say the opening few minutes feel a bit rushed. The pacing is quick, like the film is trying to set everything up as fast as possible. But once it locks in, it really finds its groove. The tournament we’ve been waiting for i

Netflix has a habit of dropping high-octane survival thrillers on a Friday night and hoping for the best, but their latest release, Apex, is doing something a bit different. On the surface, the premise is as old as the hills: a deranged serial killer stalks an unsuspecting victim through a remote wilderness, and it’s up to a resilient woman to turn the tables. We’ve seen it in The Most Dangerous Game, Hush, and a dozen other "final girl" tropes. However, Apex manages to claw

After sweeping the awards circuit and finally securing that Best Actor trophy for the gritty, soul-crushing intensity of Sinners, Michael B. Jordan has decided to celebrate his Oscar win by… turning into a tiny, furry woodland creature. It’s a bold move, but in the newly released Netflix animated adventure Swapped, it’s one that actually sticks the landing. Produced by Skydance Animation and directed by Tangled alum Nathan Greno, Swapped arrived on our screens this week with

The Drama is one of those movies that really stuck with me after I left the cinema. It’s also a movie that’s causing a lot of discourse online and was so jarring that I ended up seeing it twice to fully form my opinions for this review. The movie follows Charlie and Emma, a young couple who are planning to get married and they shows the lead up to the ceremony and the downfall/changes within their relationship. Robert Pattinson and Zendaya give phenomenal performances in thi

If you were born too late to witness the glove, the moonwalk, or the pure electricity of the Bad tour in person, Antoine Fuqua just handed you a golden ticket. Screening Michael early felt less like sitting in a dark theater and more like being transported directly to the front row of a stadium tour. It’s an immersive, loud, and unapologetic celebration of a man who was less of a human and more of a global phenomenon. Jaafar Jackson Isn’t Just Acting; He’s Channeling Let’s ge

After languishing in development hell for long enough to make a Game of Thrones reader feel impatient, the live-action adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s juggernaut YA novel, Children of Blood and Bone , is finally rising from the ashes. Paramount Pictures recently dropped a teaser that actually looks like someone spent real money on it, and frankly, it’s about time. We’ve endured enough lackluster fantasy adaptations lately to deserve a win, and if the early footage is any indic
