Men in Black: International Review
Comes off as lifeless and perfunctory despite two strong casting choices and a taste of the franchise’s comedy.

I have had a strong love for entertainment since I was old enough to play pinball machines and go to the movies. I have been writing professionally since 1986 when I branched out from my position as Entertainment Editor of The Villanovan to write about computer games and video games for lots of different magazines like Commodore Magazine, GAMES and Electronic Games. Rich and I started an online magazine about games called Escapade in 1998, so it's only fitting that we join up once again to write about our other love - movies - as well as games, politics, music, theater and anything else that moves us. Heck, it feels like I'm back to being an Entertainment Editor again.
Dark Phoenix Review
Feels like a stand-alone story with little connection to the franchise other than some of the actors/characters and a country that still doesn’t trust mutants.
Avengers: Endgame Review
Not only the satisfying conclusion to a two-movie story but also the perfect payoff to that 10-year journey on which moviegoers embarked.
Captain Marvel Review
Captain Marvel doesn’t feel cohesive and at times bored me with its awful pacing and storytelling.
Ralph Breaks the Internet Review
Contains all of the elements for a wonderful sequel yet wrecks them with some questionable decisions and a silly finale.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Review
Contains too many dead spots and occasionally wanders off course like a faulty broom on magical autopilot.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Review
This unusual fantasy mixture of influences and visuals doesn’t lose your focus or interest.
Bohemian Rhapsody Review
A tedious experience that made me cringe more than applaud or smile.
Skyscraper Review
Leans more toward unintentional comedy than summer blockbuster disaster movie.
Ant-Man and The Wasp Review
Serves up a fun-size treat instead of a full snack.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Review
Embraces chaos as it explores what happens when dinosaurs can no longer be contained.
