Movie Review:Extraction 2 It's April 2020 and COVID-19's stealthy buildup into a pandemic had thrown the world into a compulsory lockdown. Stuck indoors, there wasn't much to do but to Netflix and chill. That’s when Netflix first served its starter in its budding franchise menu. An uninspired and flaccidly-scripted action…

Movie Review: Fast X Having traversed just about every terrain on the planet (not to mention an intrepid foray into space, for the culture), and clearly exhausted their bag of souped-up auto-trickery whilst at it, the purveyors of the fantastically ridiculous verging on the pointlessly stupid are back again for…

Movie Review- John Wick: Chapter 4 In my review of John Wick 3:Parabellum, I had noted that the John Wick movies have always been less about the storyline and more about the elevation of choreographed cinematic carnage to art form. That still holds true in the fourth installment of the…

Movie Review-Jurassic World: Dominion In the world of the Jurassic movie franchise, there are two kinds of white people; entitled white people doing dumb shit and entitled white people doing dumber shit trying to fix the dumb shit done by the first set of white people. Then, there's this other…

Over a decade in development, and its production and release stalled by the death of the original director, Tony Scott, and COVID 19, the long-awaited sequel to 1986’s box office hit movie and pop culture cult classic, Top Gun, finally opened two years behind its original release date. Rarely does…

Movie Review: Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Take a storyline premise that is decidedly Nolan-esque in the sheer complexity of its multiverse yada yada.
