Solo A Star Wars Story review

During an adventure into the criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his future copilot Chewbacca and encounters Lando Calrissian years before joining the Rebellion. Worlds better than Star Wars: Episode 8: The Last Jedi, Solo feels destined to fail at the box office, largely in part to it’s massive budget (they essentially filmed the movie twice!)

X-Men Origins Wolverine review

Heroic Hugh Jackman breathes the fire into Wolverine — with a vengeance! This pulse-pounding action thriller sinks razor-sharp adamantium claws into the mysterious origins of Logan/Wolverine: his epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed/Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber), and the ominous Weapon X program that unleashes his primal fury. I was about half Read the full article…

Star Wars Episode VIII The Last Jedi 4k review

The Skywalker saga continues as the heroes of THE FORCE AWAKENS join the galactic legends in an epic adventure that unlocks new mysteries of the Force.

Firewatch game review

Firewatch is a single-player first-person mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness. This game was a complete let down.

Mystery of the Wax Museum review

The disappearance of people and corpses leads a reporter to a wax museum and a sinister sculptor.

When a destructive space entity is spotted approaching Earth, Admiral Kirk resumes command of the Starship Enterprise to intercept, examine, and stop it.

Big hair, big guns, big personalities and a serious lack of wardrobe.
