Not much happens in SETTLERS by newcomer Wyatt Rockefeller, but the director manages to keep the tension going for 104 minutes in this home invasion thriller set on Mars.

Three new films premiere this weekend on a streaming platform with noteworthy female leads. A fun family film, an award-worthy movie and a wicked female villain are your new choices this week. Here's my take on I CARE A LOT with Rosamund Pike, Disney's FLORA & ULYSSES and Frances McDormand as usual delivers an award-worthy performance in NOMADLAND.

Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Enterprises is hosting pop up drive-ins across the nation through August. It’s been months since watching a movie on the big screen due to the pandemic, so it was a real thrill attending Tribeca’s drive-in at the Rose Bowl to watch SPACE JAM for the first time. The screening was held in the daytime so there was concern about the visibility of the movie during the high sun.

Academy Award® winner Bong Joon Ho (PARASITE) executive produces TNT's "Snowpiercer," and his footprint is all over the heightened class struggle. However, don't expect the new series to be anything like the movie or the graphic novel. The show starts off clunky but by episode five, you're hooked.

Singer and songwriter Geoff Erwin performed original songs from his upcoming album in a virtual concert Saturday night to benefit The Code Green Campaign which brings mental health awareness and education for first responders. The acoustic set gave off a positive vibe in a time when we need it the most.

Chris Evans stars and executive produces the new tv mini-series for Apple TV + starring alongside his KNIVES OUT costar Jaeden Martell (IT Movie), Michelle Dockery ("Downton Abbey”), JK Simmons, Cherry Jones and Pablo Schreiber. "Defending Jacob" is based on the novel written by William Landay. Watch the video review above.
Add a commentThe trinity of testosterone fuels this action-packed comedy. Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and Idris Elba butt heads literally in FAST AND FURIOUS: HOBBS AND SHAW. It's silly fun. Here's our review of the FAST AND FURIOUS spin-off.
Add a commentQuentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD is another Tarantino revenge story. While it's boring at times with random sequences, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio's bromance makes it worthwhile.
Add a commentIn CRAWL, a father (Barry Pepper) and daughter (Kaya Scodelario) get caught in a Category 5 hurricane and trapped in their flooding home surrounded by alligators. The horror thriller, directed by Alexandre Aja (THE HILLS HAVE EYES) and produced by Sam Raimi (EVIL DEAD, DRAG ME TO HELL, SPIDER-MAN, is a fun scare fest that should be enjoyed with an audience. Watch my drive time review above.

Relive the Apollo 11 mission to the moon 50 years later on the anniversary of the landing with the new cut down version of APOLLO 11: FIRST STEPS EDITION. In Todd Douglas Miller's special giant screen edition showing on IMAX and Giant Screen theaters now, viewers experience the nine-day mission in 47 minutes. The experience of watching it on an IMAX theater gives you the illusion of being there.
Add a commentWhy are people hating on THE LION KING remake? I liked it a lot more than I expected and it was funnier than the original. And who doesn't enjoy watching cute animals on screen. Watch the video above for our take on the Disney classic reboot.
Add a commentMarvel's footprint is all over SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME even though Sony Pictures still maintains the rights. Spider-man/Peter Parker's adventure is an enjoyable one but the action was often boring and anti-climactic. Watch my drive time review above.

The Dark Phoenix arises once again with Jean Grey, played by Sophie Turner, becoming her evil alter ego. Although the action scenes are pretty good, this by far is the worst out of the movie franchise right up there with X-MEN: THE LAST STAND. Find out why in our video review below.

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS is the Godzilla movie we've been waiting for. Directed by Michael Dougherty (KRAMPUS), he shows great respect for the king of the monsters and incorporates a lot of the history of the Toho Godzilla movies. A true fan will recognize all those nods and enjoy the movie. Although you're not as invested in the human characters except for Millie Bobby Brown's character, and the family drama, we're there for the monster mashup. Watch our review as we skirt Los Angeles traffic.

From James Gunn comes one of the most original horror films in a long time. Executive produced by James Gunn and written by his brother Brian and cousin Mark Gunn, BRIGHTBURN takes Superman's origin story and gives it a very dark twist. BRIGHTBURN has been described as "superhero horror," and it lives up to that moniker.

If you’ve been invested in the Marvel movies since IRON MAN, be ready for your emotions to be wrecked with AVENGERS: ENDGAME. The payoff is there and you'll run the gamut of feelings from elation, laughter to a happy cry and a sad cry. The Russo Brothers and writers Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus threw everything in there to pay homage to the 22 films Marvel has put out. No stone was left unturned. The three hour run time went by in a snap of Thanos fingers.

A boy who raises three pelicans is at the heart of the story of STORM BOY. Newcomer Finn Little steals the show but what’s most impressive is how they got pelicans (not the most cuddly looking things) to follow the 11-year-old actor around like your average pet. STORM BOY also beautifully captures the beauty of South Australia’s coastline.

CAPTAIN MARVEL isn't going down as one of the best Marvel movies, but it's definitely entertaining and feels more like a STAR TREK movie than a Marvel outing. That's not a bad thing. It has lots of merits, and CAPTAIN MARVEL is a great movie for young girls or anyone whose told they can't achieve their dreams. By the end, there's no doubt Captain Marvel will pound Thanos to dust in ENDGAME.
