Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Review
Contains too many dead spots and occasionally wanders off course like a faulty broom on magical autopilot.

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.
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.

Embraces chaos as it explores what happens when dinosaurs can no longer be contained.

Needs more Jack-Jack and less humdrum
Bao Review
Skillfully mixes playfulness and humanity for a touching look at motherhood.
Hereditary Review
Sadly only inherits the bad habits of the worst M. Night Shyamalan films.
Solo: A Star Wars Story Review
This unquestionably fun film would have been so much better with a shift in focus to generate Lando Calrissian: A Star Wars Story.
Deadpool 2 Review
Delivers the goods as an irreverently hilarious and literally side-splitting comedy.
Avengers: Infinity War Review
Feels like a never-ending supply of sweet moments with a better plot probably saved for its sequel.
