Posted on August 13, 2019 by adamryen

Posted on June 15, 2019 by adamryen

Men in Black: International. Now I remember liking the original Men in Black films but I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say they’re good. I think we often have rose-colored glasses for franchises that meant a lot to … Continue reading →

Review: Little (2019)

Posted on April 13, 2019 by adamryen

Little. This movie is taking a couple of big risks. Its two leads are really only tested in television (Issa Rae from Insecure and Marsai Martin from Black-ish), so I’m not sure if this movie has the starpower that might draw … Continue reading →

Review: Captive State

Posted on March 19, 2019 by adamryen

Captive State. This movie is entirely under the radar, no one is talking about it. That’s usually not a good sign, so I went to the theaters to check it out for myself. The gist. 10 years ago, aliens conquered the … Continue reading →

Posted on November 19, 2018 by adamryen

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald The Harry Potter franchise is a little tough to get into at this point, so if you’re not already onboard, this is definitely not the place to hop on. With eight entries in the … Continue reading →
