Let Arnold Retire Already | ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ Movie Review

The Terminator franchise has become the equivalent of coming back to an abusive relationship, hoping things will change and be as good as they were in the beginning of the relationship, only to have them display the same toxic behavior that pushed you away in the first place. It began with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (2003), when Director Jonathan Mostow filled in for … Continue reading Let Arnold Retire Already | ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ Movie Review

Days of Future Present | ‘House of X’/’Powers of X’ Comic Book Review

Intro: When it comes to reading comics, I live by a simple rule: If I start to dislike a title I’ll stop reading new issues until the series becomes better or the next writer is someone I trust to do a better job. I’ve had an on and off again relationship with the X-Men since Brian Micheal Bendis took up the main series and wrote … Continue reading Days of Future Present | ‘House of X’/’Powers of X’ Comic Book Review

A 3-Hour Movie | ‘IT Chapter 2’ Review

Man, did this movie not have to be 3 hours long.

Revival explores abundance of reboots Reboots have been quite the rage this past decade; while nothing new to entertainment, the 2010s have been abundant with reboots and revivals of relics from the 80s and 90s.

Not So Good | ‘Good Boys’ Review

In my 2019 Movie Catch-Up post, I ragged on how reviewers just don’t seem to like comedies these days, most notably in the cases of “Stuber” and “Shaft,” two superb comedies that got the short end of the aggregate stick. Gene Stupnitsky’s adolescent comedy “Good Boys” is the complete opposite, sitting atop an 80 percent fresh Rotten Tomatoes score that I feel like is wholly … Continue reading Not So Good | ‘Good Boys’ Review
