‘Godzilla: Minus One’ takes the franchise to a new level
Believe it or not, “Godzilla: Minus One” does not contain a single shot with its titular giant monster in frame during its entire length. However, I was far from disappointed. Everyone in that packed opening night theater was crying and applauding when the credits rolled, and one fact stood out […]

Ridley Scott’s 2000 film “Gladiator” is one of my top five favorite films. “The Blade Runner,” “Alien” and “The Martian” are amongst his most notable works, and recently he released “Napoleon.” Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix stars as the famed military commander and former emperor of France, while Vanessa Kirby shines […]
Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ movie shows behind the scenes of touring

Awful new slasher film ‘Thanksgiving’ doesn’t serve
Eli Roth’s new horror mystery movie “Thanksgiving” was genuinely one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
