Simu Liu, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in Barbie movie review

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.

Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg in Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One movie review

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.

 Cobie Smulders and Samuel L Jackson in Secret Invastion on Disney Plus

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.

Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller Bridge movie review

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.

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.

 Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse movie review

SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is artistry at its best. The amount of animation styles is crazy, and the numerous Easter Eggs keep your eyes ping-ponging trying to catch all the Spider-verse characters. The stakes and visuals are intense, and it will require multiple viewings to take in all the overwhelming animation and surprising plot twists.

The Little Mermaid review

Disney’s live-action reimagining of THE LITTLE MERMAID is a beautiful rendition of the classic musical with Halle Bailey meeting all expectations as Ariel. The characters are much more fleshed-out, and director Rob Marshall takes some liberties with the storyline fitting for a modern iteration. There are some minor inconsistencies that detract a bit, but overall it’s a solid remake.
