The series finale is yet another reminder as to why Netflix’s “Money Heist” is one of the best shows on television.

Disney has always been know for big, giant, grand ideas with massive price tags. More often than not, those price tags match the experience. So when the House of Mouse announced an immersive, Star Wars hotel experience, fans were intrigued, and eager to see the final product years in the making. We got a few glimpses of mock ups and summaries of what the experience would include, and we also go the astronomical price tag of $5,000 for two people (for a minimum of 2 nights). For that much money, you should be given a background role in the next…

Against all odds, Sony Pictures has somehow managed to turn Spider-man foil Venom into a massively profitable franchise. I still don’t know why, because both movies are marginally enjoyable at best, unmitigated disasters at worst. But somehow defying gravity, “Venom” has turned itself into a massively successful film franchise, earning over a billion (with a B) at the box office. “Let There Be Carnage” is consistently at odds with itself throughout the entirety of the film. It’s a kind of throw it all the wall and see what sticks kind of filmmaking. So much so that Sony cut another romantic…

“West Side Story” is a near cinematic masterpiece, a must see cinematic experience that feels equally familiar yet refreshingly new.

In addition to new releases and bad movies, I also took on the task of reviewing films that turned 25 this year. This was a much more enjoyable endeavor, as I got to rewatch some of my favorite 90s films including “Primal Fear” and “Empire Records.” Rather than making an end of year list that captures my own personal favorites, I thought it might be best to highlight some of the more surprisingly enjoyable ones I rewatched during this trip down memory lane. There were a LOT to choose from, and this list was harder to compile than the Rated…

We take a look at the 30 films rated 10% or less we reviewed in 2021, and came up with the 5 lowest scored.

It’s a difficult balance in journalism, wanting to discuss current and relevant topics while also trying to get headline worthy responses from their interviewees. This is even more tricky when you’re dealing with high profile actors and directors. These people consistently have to sit through hours upon hours of press junkets where pundits ask the same question over and over again. Naturally, they’re bound to lash out and occasionally provide some headline worthy soundbites. That’s all well and fine, and most reputable outlets manage this balance well. Except when it comes to the issue of superhero movies. There’s a lot…

I’m sure you’ve seen the commericals: an gigantic LG TV that somehow rolls away into itself. It’s the kind of sci-fi futuristic make believe technology we really didn’t think could ever exist. I’m sure there’s some logical explanation as to how a TV can roll into a giant base, but every time I see the commercial I just think…magic. It’s a wild technological advancement in entertainment, enough for me to go a look up what this thing actually is and how to own it. [Editor’s note: this isn’t an affiliate thing. We’re truly baffled by this tv, and it’s price.]…

“Sing 2” feels more like a collection of scenes rather an a complete feature film.

It’s not the best, and doesn’t get everything right, but “Bruised” is one of the better MMA movies out there.
