Thor: Love and Thunder – Movie Review
Thor: Love and Thunder finally utilizes Natalie Portman’s true talents in the MCU and introduces a strong antagonist in Christian Bale’s Gorr. Yet, it does very little to further the God of Thunder as a character.
Obi-Wan Kenobi – Series Review
Obi-Wan Kenobi has a hard time justifying its existence within the Star Wars canon but it’s great performances and high-tension moments are undeniably entertaining to watch.
Jurassic World: Dominion – Movie Review
Oddly enough, despite being marketed as the ultimate finale to the franchise. Dominion is short and focused, even its action sequences are nowhere near as bombastic as its predecessor.

Top Gun: Maverick not only manages to stick its proverbial landing by honoring its wildly-iconic predecessor, but it accomplishes the impossible feat of surpassing it in spades — injecting heart into both characters and bombastic action scenes.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – Movie Review
This 6th outing for Benedict Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange felt somewhat light despite the compelling arc that he has in the film. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Olsen puts on a clinic with her performance as the Scarlet Witch — becomes the beating heart of the movie despite the character’s descent into darkness.

Eternals – Movie Review
Eternals is massive in scope yet strikingly personal with its characters. It expands the MCU to cosmic depths that we have not seen before.
The Promise of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune
This is the promise that Dune: Part One has made — a promise that fans will be patiently waiting for to be fulfilled, a deeper dive into the coarse-yet-beautiful world that Frank Herbert has created, retold in the silver screen.
