IMG destroyed them 58-0; afterward, the whole world learned that Bishop Sycamore wasn't a real school. Enter Roy Johnson, a … Continue reading BS High
The Flash
Quick as a flash, DC has added another continuation to their franchise! Despite its poor performance in theaters, I wanted to give it a fair try. Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) is awaiting his dad’s murder trial hearing (he’s accused of killing his wife, Barry’s mom decades before) and starts to think, what if it were … Continue reading The Flash

The Menu
A private and exclusive dinner on a remote island hosted by a famous chef. Sounds like the perfect evening...which is true unless, of course, the chef is a psychopath! It's kinda like Clue, where everyone is invited for a reason but, everything else about it is different. Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen’s Gambit) is invited as a … Continue reading The Menu
Black Adam
Well the Rock was a superhero and it’s just as you would have expected. Action-packed, a little cheesy, and has a subpar plot. So a made-up Middle Eastern country has been taken over by terrorists and a 500-year-old demigod is summoned to help. This movie is all over the place, like Pierce Brosnan being a … Continue reading Black Adam

Father of the Bride
I did not want to like this movie. I have a fierce loyalty to the original with Steve Martin and Martin Short (yes those guys from Only Murders) and boycotted this remake. However, I was forced to watch it and well it’s pretty great. Completely different from the “dad can’t accept his daughter isn’t 12” … Continue reading Father of the Bride
Rich & Shameless
Digging deeper into the scandals that you might have missed/ignored in the past 20 years, see just what happened to Brian Williams, why did the Pam and Tommy tape get out, and why was Girls Gone Wild a thing? Half of this I loved and a half was okay. It’s a good watch if you’re … Continue reading Rich & Shameless
Elvis
There’s two things that make a good biopic movie. First, when you forget at one point that you’re watching a movie and not a documentary. Second, when you truly hate the villain. This movie has both. Austin Butler does the impossible task of taking on the role of Elvis Presley from the beginning of his … Continue reading Elvis
