Venom: The Last Dance

I remember when Venom was first introduced in the comics. This character was just so awesome that you felt conflicted about liking him. Eddie Brock was a bit of a jerk but once he connected with the symbiote and became Venom, you started looking at him differently. In Spider-Man 3, which came out in 2007,…

Piece by Piece Review

As a fan of The Neptunes and N.E.R.D, I was excited for Piece by Piece. The movie follows the life of Pharrell Williams and how he left the projects to become the multi-grammy-winning producer/artist that he is. If you are going to tell a story like that, why not make it in a format that…

Joker: Folie À Deux

Family-friendly Halloween films can go one of two ways: they can be super cheesy or they can have a good story that can appeal to everyone. Monster Summer falls in the latter group. While the trailer might seem like it gives you the entire story there is more to it than you see. Yes, there…

Imagine getting together with a friend from childhood that you have not seen or interacted with for years. During this get-together, your friend asks you for a favor. Of course, this is a strange thing to do if you are not a regular friends, but when the favor consists of doing something illegal, you need…

The Wild Robot Review

Animated movies are a genre that is often overlooked or infantized because of the nature of the medium. Yes, cartoons are silly and a great escape from reality but there is also so much that we can learn from them. I have stated before that the first three Toy Story movies are a great analogy…
