Movie & media reviews, analysis and more…
This past weekend I had the opportunity to view the highly anticipated “Ready Player One”, a movie that was filled with an overload of throwback pop culture that could choke the most die hard of fans. This was a movie based on the book of the same title, which was popular enough to warrant a... Continue Reading →
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWepvH6LnEw The Avengers: Infinity War is hitting theaters April 25th and I can truly say that I'm exited. I think the image to the trailer says a big chunk of it if not all when it speaks to the massive size of this latest Marvel outing. I think I'd be satisfied with the characters just...

We as media consumers are very well aware that Marvel has been on fire for some time now. To be exact, they are coming up on the 10 year anniversary of the release of “Iron Man”. This was certainly the film that kick started the Marvel Phase One series of movies and it was certainly... Continue Reading →
So I had the very pleasant pleasure of viewing “Black Panther” on Saturday of this past weekend and I can tell you, it was definitely a good time. What I mean is, not only was the movie satisfying, but the experience itself was as well. To put things into perspective, let’s address the elephant in the... Continue Reading →

I don’t think I’m too far off in stating this as it seems to be a consensus amongst... Continue Reading →
I found this latest outing of the adventures of Thor to be somewhat refreshing compared to the previous two. In particular, it carried a much lighter take on the legend of the Norse god while dealing with a particularly devastating event in the history of Asgard. The event in question is that of Ragnorok,... Continue Reading →
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44LdLqgOpjo So, this is a late review, more of a streaming review, of “Kong: Skull Island” and I have to say that it definitely kept my interest for the 2 hour run time. Now this probably falls into the category of action, adventure, fantasy, but in my humble opinion skates along the edges of science... Continue Reading →

This trailer for "The Commuter" is no different and doesn't disappoint. Neeson seems to be returning as the supposedly unassuming everyday man only to... Continue Reading →
