Similar to its leading lady, Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey (2020) was dealt a shit hand. David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016) is a music video masquerading as a feature film, a two-hour movie trailer full of undeliverable promises. And…

It’s been quite the winding road to get to this point, hasn’t it? M. Night Shyamalan returns once again to finish arguably one of the most ambitious and fascinating trilogies in Hollywood with Glass, the follow-up…

It always feels like animation that isn’t the standard 3D, CGI look that Pixar and Disney throws at us a few times a year is often left behind, as if it’s inaccessible like some pretentious…

Years after it went off air, Entourage finally got its wish: we now have a REAL Aquaman movie. I know Vinny Chase, E, Turtle, and Johnny Drama are somewhere in the ether offering a toast (or seven)…
