‘Gladiator II’ does not live up to the original
In the most serious way possible, “Gladiator” changed the trajectory of my life. It was the first movie I remember watching that made me realize my deep love for film.

When the announcement came that we’d be getting a “Wicked” movie, I was intrigued to see what that would entail.

‘Creed III’ is a total knockout
As one of the most-anticipated movies of the year, “Creed III” had some high expectations to live up to. To say the movie delivered is an understatement. “Creed III” takes aspects from the previous two movies of the franchise in a new direction, and it was a breath of fresh […]
‘She Said’ retells origins of #MeToo movement
I didn’t know what to expect from “She Said” going into it. I had only seen one Instagram advertisement, edited to fit the thriller genre, when I made the decision to see it in theaters. What I got out of those two hours and nine minutes was a slow-burn thriller […]
