'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Review:' An MCU Movie That Deserves Multiple Viewings

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 

SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS is so beautifully crafted, the Marvel movie will leave you wanting to see it again and again. Simu Liu is perfectly cast as the MCU’s newest Avenger as one who exudes heart, humor and kick-ass martial arts skills. Tony Leung as the real Mandarin also steals the show and rights past MCU wrongs. SHANG-CHI is a very different sort of MCU film and a welcome one to kick off the next phase in the MCU.

Free Guy Ryan Reynolds Jodie Comer still

Ryan Reynolds and FREE GUY is just what the doctor ordered in these dark times. However, FREE GUY should come with a warning label. "Please wear your mask at all times in FREE GUY" because the whole audience will be laughing their a**es off. The Ryan Reynolds flick will have you smiling from start to finish with its good-natured humor.

'The Suicide Squad' Review: The Grittiest and Most Irreverent DCEU Film But It Has Issues

 The Suicide Squad starring Idris Elba and King Shark

James Gunn sets things right with the new Squad. It's raw and DCEU's grittiest and most irreverent movie to date. While it doesn’t exactly reach DEADPOOL-level humor, it’s close. There are few issues with THE SUICIDE SQUAD. Luckily the new character's charming qualities and the group's chemistry outweigh the weakest part of the movie - the human villains.

'Jolt' Movie Review: Shocking For All The Wrong Reasons

 Kate Beckinsale in Jolt

How did a movie boasting an ensemble cast that includes Kate Beckinsale, Bobby Cannavale, Jai Courtney, Laverne Cox, and Stanley Tucci go so wrong? JOLT is a mess from start to finish with horrible acting all around, a ridiculous premise worthy of a She-Hulk storyline, and a twist you see coming a mile away. On the guilty-pleasure side, you do get a rush watching Beckinsale kick butt despite the idiotic premise. It’s no wonder JOLT went straight to Amazon Prime Video.
