Movie Review – Mufasa: The Lion King
Disney's "Mufasa: The Lion King" is a prequel that feels like an uninspired job for the writers. Forgettable songs and a disjointed storytelling approach make for a disappointing return to Pride Rock.
Grade: C
Movie Review - Nosferatu
"Nosferatu" is a cinematic masterpiece with standout performances from Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult, but uneven acting and direction in ensemble scenes hold it back from perfection.
Grade: B+
Movie Review - Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic and friends are back in a hilarious, action-packed adventure the whole family will love. Prepare to laugh out loud and be amazed by the realistic Ohanimals!
Grade: A
Movie Review - The Fire Inside
"The Fire Inside" tells the story of Claressa Shields' boxing success and struggles, but lacks the dramatic punch and emotional depth to make it a knockout.
Grade: C+
Movie Review - A Complete Unknown
"A Complete Unknown" sheds light on Bob Dylan's early years with a transformative performance by Timothée Chalamet, but its meandering plot keeps it from being a masterpiece.
Grade: B
Movies that take place in 2025 Here are a few old-ish movies that take place in the future, or our present.
Independent Film Review - Invitation To A Murder
"Invitation To A Murder" is a pleasant Agatha Christie-esque whodunit with a diverse cast, surprising twists, and an engaging lead performance by Mischa Barton.
Grade: A-
Independent Film Review - Detained
"Detained" delivers suspense and action, but a convoluted plot and uneven supporting characters prevent this Abbie Cornish thriller from reaching its full potential.
Grade: B-
Movie Review - Babygirl
Nicole Kidman shines in "Babygirl," a thought-provoking role reversal of the powerful executive affair trope, despite some implausible plot points.
Grade: B-
