The Australian import, TALK TO ME, avoids horror cliches and tropes with a unique premise and beats which makes it one of the best horror flicks in a while. Do yourself a favor and get out to movie theaters to see TALK TO ME.

Pixar elevated the animation industry with CGI which delivered polished and clean imagery, but films like Academy Award-winning film SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, its sequel ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE, and now TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM return to basics with raw and hand drawn-looking artwork. The style is fitting for the cinematic adaptation of these comic book heroes who are endearing and hilarious.

Those fools from the hood are back in season 2 of the extremely funny Hulu series, This Fool. The irreverent comedy starring Chris Estrada, Frankie Quinones, and Michael Imperioli, perfectly captures life in South Central. The quirky characters decide to open up a new coffee shop, "Mugs Not Thugs" and of course, there are shenanigans that will have you rolling on the floor although the laughs are not as consistent as last season.

Take two. Disney’s second attempt at adapting the theme park attraction into a movie arrives in theaters, and while HAUNTED MANSION is jam-packed with Easter Eggs Disneyland fans will enjoy, the plot is a little lackluster.

As expected, Greta Gerwig’s (LADYBIRD) live-action BARBIE movie is filled with subversive feminist messaging but Gerwig balances the truth bombs with comedy. Margot Robbie is a perfect Barbie and Ryan Gosling steals the show with his himbo Ken-energy. Gerwig also manages to honor the Mattel icon without belittling the brand and empowers little girls to want more than just tea parties.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE fans will get their money’s worth in the seventh outing of Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) spy adventure in DEAD RECKONING PART ONE, even with a familiar story that hits the same beats from one movie to the next, and a questionable villain. However, this is possibly the funniest installment of the franchise.

Secret Invasion closely resembles Star Wars: Andor series. Both Disney+ series are slow-burn spy thrillers with character-driven plots, and devoid of Jedis and Avengers to save the day. Marvel’s latest entry, however, is not as sleek looking like Andor, and the pacing is far more tedious. Two episodes in, it’s not clear yet if the Marvel series is worthy of a binge.

Cannes critics lambasted INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY as too nostalgic in early reviews. Isn’t nostalgia one of the reasons we return to movie theaters to watch fan favorites like Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones? INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY is exactly what you expect from the fedora-wearing treasure hunter, but more emotional.

Kevin Harrison Jr. is one of the most underrated actors of this generation, and his starring turn in the untold story of the first Black composer in CHEVALIER proves his worth. The film is filled with tension, drama, and music with great performances in addition to Harrison, from Lucy Boynton, Samara Weaving and Minnie Driver. The must-see movie is now available on Digital.

FLAMIN’ HOT is the movie the Frito-Lay company doesn’t want you to see. Directed by Eva Longoria, the Hulu and Disney+ movie is an origin story of the Flamin Hot Cheetos, allegedly the brain child of former Frito-Lay executive Richard Montañez during his early days as a janitor at the company. Despite the corporation’s claim that Montañez had nothing to do with the launch, FLAMIN’ HOT is an inspirational rags-to-riches Latino story.
