Si Vis Pacem, para bellum.
For the non scholars of dead languages, you might be interested to know this Latin phrase translates as, “If you want peace, prepare for war.” It’s safe to say that no one prepares for war like John Wick does.

‘Endgame’ aftermath is tackled in the ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ trailer
Two weeks after Marvel’s culmination event, Avengers: Endgame, fans had to wonder what direction Spider-Man’s MCU sophomore film would take as Phase 3 comes to a close. The spoiler ban was active until this past Monday, when the new trailer dropped to reveal more about this adventure.
Trust me, it’s Endgame spoiler-heavy. So you have been warned (Even Tom Holland warns you before it starts)!
Raunch and Romance make an interesting mixture in ‘Long Shot’
This year hasn’t had much competition in the raunchy comedy/romantic comedy department. So while everyone is focusing on the mega blockbusters coming this summer season, a movie such as Long Shot could sneak under the radar. Going to an early screening of the comedy, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The main selling point were the two leads.
And that was enough.
Marvel Studios pulls all the stops in a spectacular superhero epic with ‘Avengers: Endgame’
Long live the Avengers.
For this review, I felt compelled to start off by honoring these comic-book heroes that have touched the lives of millions of fans around the world, both new and old. Since 2008, Marvel Studios has been on a superhero odyssey; creating memorable moments, whole standalone franchises and bringing the comic books to life.
After the devastating end to last year’s Infinity War, there had to be one last sequel in order to set things right in the universe.
Episode IX marks the ‘Rise’ of a family and The End of a Saga
That tremor that you felt on Friday afternoon? The Force had awakened once again…possibly for the last time.
Star Wars Celebration 2019 emanated from Chicago, IL, introducing fans to what’s to come from those creative minds that work in a Galaxy Far, Far Away. From a new video game to the upcoming live-action show, The Mandalorian, coming to the Disney+ streaming network, the future seems bright for the groundbreaking science-fiction universe.
But after months of secrecy, fans were treated to a first look at Episode IX.Read More »
‘Shazam!’ is the word the DC Film franchise has needed
Despite his similarities to DC’s boy scout mascot, Shazam! is not one of the most well-known superheros from the world of DC Comics. The only thing I know about Shazam was the mega-watt, All-American smile and the yellow lightning on his red suit with a white cape flying in the background. I didn’t even realize that he had a cheesy ’70s show, when superheroes were considered kids’ stuff and not the bankable franchise it is now.
And when your fictional hero lives the fantasy every child has had at one time about what it would be like to become an actual superhero, well you have audiences in the palm of your hand. Read More »
Don’t mistake ‘Us’ for a horror movie
The first three months of the year as usually prime pickings for a horror movie as fans pack theaters ready for jump scares. Jordan Peele made a name for himself in his directorial debut film, Get Out. But could his follow-up, Us, dodge the sophomore slump for early directors?
I will say this: Don’t mistake this movie for a horror film.Read More »
The Surviving Avengers will do Whatever It Takes in new ‘Avengers: Endgame’ trailer
The first trailer didn’t reveal much. The Super Bowl TV Spot gave us even less to deal with.
And I loved them both. So what did I really expect from a new trailer? Not the stirring of emotions that makes me want to fast-forward through the remaining six weeks until April 26.Read More »
‘Captain Marvel’ soars in this clever origin story film.
Despite how powerful she is, Captain Marvel was never a well-known hero. She wasn’t in the A-tier of heroes such as Captain America or Spider-Man. The latest Marvel Studios Phase Three entry stars Brie Larson as the titular hero and she couldn’t have been more needed than now.Read More »
Oscars 2019 showed that change has come to Tinseltown
(I apologize that this post is coming late but you know how life is!)
Last Sunday was Academy Awards Night for Hollywood’s finest. All the stars were out, there was no host and all of the awards would be televised. Along with the diverse list of nominees, this had all the makings of a magical night. And the viewers would not be disappointed.
