★★ Directed by Kat Coiro, Marry Me is a rom-com whose screenplay is adapted from a graphic novel of the same name by Bobby Crosby. The film seems like a modern re-telling of Notting Hill, where a huge celebrity falls in love with a normal guy; however, Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant had a lot...

★★★ Director Roland Emmerich brings the moon to earth in this Sci-Fi epic that delivers in its magnitude and scale with its worlds colliding and expanding on crackpot theories. It falls short, however, in making viewers care about its main characters. The film wants to engage the audience in its main characters’ family affairs but...

★ Finally, six and a half years after it was supposed to be initially released The King’s Daughter hit cinemas. Unfortunately, even after the long delay, much of the CGI seems to be unfinished and some sets look to be a part of a stage show rather than a movie. Despite having some big-name actors,...

★★½ Hotel Transylvania: Transformania is the fourth and presumably final movie in the Hotel Transylvania franchise. Directed by newcomers, Jennifer Kluska and Derek Drymon, this installment in the series brings all of the original voice actors back together for another monster-filled adventure. The film begins with a long montage of Dracula (Adam Sandler) and his...

★★★★ The 2022 iteration of Scream, directed by the duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and the fifth installment in the horror film series, follows the new main character Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera), who comes back to Woodsboro after her little sister, Tara (Jenna Ortega), is attacked by the returning Ghostface. This attack seems to...

★★ With an all-star cast, one would think that The 355, written and directed by Simon Kinberg, would be a phenomenal flick. Unfortunately, the film relies on too many double crosses and twists that don’t pay off. It is a fairly cookie cutter espionage action flick that tries to think its more than it is,...

★★★½ Based off William Shakespeare’s famous play, the temptation of power proves fatal in The Tragedy of Macbeth, a film directed and adapted for the screen by Joel Coen. Solid acting all around complement a brilliantly cinematographic use of shadow and light to give viewers an awesome and chilling encounter. The positive factors mostly offset...

★★½ Fans of writer Aaron Sorkin love him for his signature snappy dialogue and “walk and talk” scenes. However, Being the Ricardos, which he both wrote and directed, doesn’t have much of either of his coined styles. Instead, viewers are given an unevenly paced film that leaves a lot to be desired. Being the Ricardos...

★★★★ After a nearly two-decade hiatus, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus are back in The Matrix: Resurrections. Once again written and directed by Lana Wachowski, the concept is just as mind-bending as ever, with a tighter and more cohesive story than previous entries. Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is a video game designer. His Matrix Trilogy is...

★★★★ The third installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) Spider-Man is quite the ambitious venture that meets every expectation and still manages to shock and awe despite major online speculation. Bringing the villains from the first two Sony Spider-Man franchises and cracking open the multiverse is something that the Marvel has worked toward, and...
