PREY joins the elite class of sequels that are better than the original. The Dan Trachtenberg film delivers such a unique take and style that revives the franchise, and makes it the most clever film in the IP.

David Leitch’s BULLET TRAIN delivers exactly what the trailer promises, a quirky action movie. Brad Pitt shares the spotlight with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King and Andrew Koji with fully developed characters.

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER continue the quirkiness that started in RAGNAROK but the Taika Waititi’s MCU follow-up is all over the map as far as tone. That’s not to say LOVE AND THUNDER isn't as fun but it takes a more somber turn for the final act. Natalie Portman doesn’t disappoint, earning the Mjolnir, and Christian Bale is a worthy villain as Gorr.

Prime Video’s The Terminal List series, based on Jack Carr’s novel, drags after the first episode with flat performances from Chris Pratt and most of the cast. The lackluster and unoriginal story is a cross between THE FUGITIVE and DEATH WISH, but the action gets better towards the end of the eight-episode season.

MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU is the fifth feature film in the franchise, and you get what you came for - fun. A prequel to the DESPICABLE ME movies and an origin story, the animated flick is set in the 1970s to funky music which really sets the mood for some hilarious Minions and Gru antics.

Baz Luhrmann’s ELVIS movie is the best biopic about the King. Luhrmann’s story recognizes Elvis Presley’s musical influences from the Black community and his interaction with the segregated group. Austin Butler captures the charisma of Elvis and those expressive eyes. Tom Hanks gets the job done as the despicable and manipulative manager.

Ethan Hawke is creepy as hell as a kidnapper in Scott Derrickson’s THE BLACK PHONE, an original horror-thriller that will leave you feeling satisfied with a well-crafted story and an original premise.

HBO Max‘s FATHER OF THE BRIDE reboot does its own thing with a Latino flavor. It’s a refreshing portrayal of a family that doesn’t involve any of the negative Latino stereotypes or cliches.
