The Boys in the Boat Review
The Boys in the Boat,” directed by George Clooney, brings to life the inspirational true story of the 1936 U.S. men’s Olympic rowing team. Based on Daniel James Brown’s bestselling novel, the film beautifully captures the essence of resilience, teamwork, and the pursuit of the American dream during the Great Depression. The narrative follows the…
John Wick Chapter 4 Review
As a fan of the John Wick franchise, I was eagerly anticipating the release of John Wick Chapter 4, and I must say that it did not disappoint. The movie is a thrilling continuation of the story of John Wick, played masterfully by Keanu Reeves, and is a must-watch for fans of the series. One…
1917 Review
With a solid but unexceptional script and merely reliable performances, the true draw of 1917 is the filmmaking by director Sam Mendes (Skyfall) and his collaborators, which elevates the World War I epic to one of the year’s genuine cinematic highlights. The straightforward story centers on British lance corporals Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George…
10 Best Movies of 2019
In 2019, the box-office behemoths of Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Far From Home hit paydirt for Marvel, but brought disdain from director Martin Scorsese who denied their relevance as “real cinema.” And yet: the year’s best movies stand as living, breathing definitions of what film can do when creative energy is let off…
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review
More ambitious than perhaps anyone suspected, director J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker not only concludes the Skywalker Saga but also takes a loving, and definitive, look at the core concepts of the 42-year-old franchise. It’s occasionally sloppy in its storytelling, but the film’s cast, visuals, action and through-line come together to…

The Irishman Review
Legendary director Martin Scorsese spent a long time developing crime epic The Irishman; talk of the director reuniting with his old muse Robert De Niro for the project was happening as far back as 2010. It was until a few years ago the film finally took real steps forward, but even then it wasn’t an…
Terminator: Dark Fate Review
Terminator: Dark Fate is a welcome return to form for the long-running sci-fi action franchise, and the first genuinely good sequel since 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day, upon whose events it builds. In a set-up familiar to fans of the series, in Dark Fate two figures travel back in time, in search of Dani (Natalia…
Joker Review
It would have been a brave, smart choice to cast Joaquin Phoenix in the next film incarnation of Batman, and he could have made the kind of bold acting choices that distinguished past Jokers Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger without worrying about the more serious grounding of the story. However, turning Phoenix’s Clown Prince of…
