Movie Review – Venom: The Last Dance
—
I haven’t rewatched either of the first two Venom movies. I remember enjoying the first one and was excited for the sequel but ultimately disappointed when it came out. I hoped this final movie in the trilogy would use the first two mildly amusing and, oftentimes, flawed movies and launch to new heights, and provide…

Movie Review – Azrael
—
“Azrael,” a film that aims to deliver a haunting experience, unfortunately falls short on multiple fronts. One of the most glaring issues is the absence of dialogue, which may have been intended to create an atmospheric silence but instead renders the narrative dull and unengaging. The lack of communication leaves viewers grasping for context and…

Joker: Folie À Deux delivers a hauntingly beautiful experience, primarily defined by its musical elements.

My “fandom” dates back to the 1970’s when very few shows, such as “All in the Family” were trying to take a more progressive tack vs. some of the same…

Movie Review – The Wild Robot
—
The Wild Robot is just shy of being an instant classic. It’s the best-animated movie I’ve seen in some time. During the movie, my wife leaned over and said that it reminded her of Iron Gian, which is absolutely a classic A+ animation. Just to be mentioned with Iron Giant is a compliment. The plot…

Movie Review – Transformers One
—
The Transformer franchise has finally found the right format to explore its universe. I enjoyed this origin story more than I thought I would. This is the best story-telling of any Transformer movie to date. Granted, that bar isn’t set too high. Voices I liked the choice of voices for the characters, but I didn’t…
