Film and Television Reviews

Narrated and guided by "The Watcher" (Jeffrey Wright, Westworld), each animated episode of What If...? takes us on a roughly 30 minute journey using familiar characters, voices, and moments from the MCU films (except Chris Evans, because contracts) to present you with an alternative reality. What makes this series pretty magical is there is no fan-obsessed debate over how things "should" end up. No one is right and no one is wrong; it is just a concoction of hypotheticals for our pure entertainment where one simple change causes a catalyst of changes.

The Suicide Squad is fluid, the narrative structure is off-kilter, and it is often absolutely hilarious in-and-out of the insanity happening in front of us.

Elevated by Alan Tudyk and Michael McKean, Playing God overcomes its problematic concept to deliver more than thoughts and prayers.

Stillwater leaves you asking the question, how far will you go for family, as Matt Damon takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotional based decisions.

Jake Johnson delivers hilarity and heart as a man embracing life after the death of his mother in Ride the Eagle. Read on for our review.

Snake Eyes delivers a modern G.I. Joe film with an underwritten lead and stronger supporting characters than the coolest commando in all of cartoons, but it’s still fun.

Going to a secluded beach won't cure your problems and illnesses. Nor will seeing Old, the latest offering from M. Night Shyamalan.

Gunpowder Milkshake misses its mark and does a disservice to the otherwise talented cast. The script is so bad, you'd think they teamed up with Tommy Wiseau.

Black Widow's triumphant return to the big screen parallels the real-life horrors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and historical female oppression.

Fear Street: Part One 1994 kicks off with a beautiful twist of an homage to the first Scream, mirroring the method and timing of the kill(s) early on, along with other tributes such as a prick making a mockery of the recent murders down the school hallway, and even a score reminiscent of Scream at times. All before making a tongue in cheek jab at R.L. Stine's The Wrong Number. Homages can be very hit or miss depending on how crafty the director is in balancing the tightrope of "remake" and "homage", but Fear Street's Leigh Janiak knocks it out of the park. Fear Street plays like a love song to the 90s with feverishly fun kills and an outstanding soundtrack.
