“Ladies First tries to give an important message in an outdated way. There was potential for an interesting idea… but without much to say, it comes across as a bit dull.”
I Love Boosters (Movie Review)
‘This is no time for subtlety:’ “Support this film. Go see it in theaters. And if it isn’t playing near you? Start asking questions because I Love Boosters is not one to miss.”
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (Movie Review)
“Ludwig Göransson is the best part of the movie by far. Whether he’s just copy and pasting or iterating on them, the original themes never fail to do their job. The original music also rocks. The man can do no wrong.”
Obsession (Movie Review)
“Inde Navarrette is flat out SPECTACULAR… Horror movies do not get love or recognition at end of year awards ceremonies, but Navarrette should be on those best of year lists.”
Marty, Life is Short (Streaming Documentary Review)
“It is not breaking any new ground in the documentary genre, but there’s no need to with a tale as delightful as Short’s.”

Mortal Kombat II (Movie Review)
“I was really looking forward to Mortal Kombat II, and I concede that it’s better than its predecessor, but it’s far from a ‘flawless victory.’”
