Hey everyone, Oppenheimer is finally here! Christopher Nolan is back with a new movie on the biggest screens on Earth and of course, it was a marvel behold in IMAX. As a lifelong Nolan fan who often points him out to be the filmmaker that inspired me most to start this show and talk about movies online on a regular basis, this was obviously one of my most anticipated movies of the year. On top of that, I'm a big history guy, especially of this era, so there was definitely an added layer of intrigue for me. So does Oppenheimer rank as one of Nolan's best pieces of cinema EVER... or is it an ambitious misfire from the Hollywood legend? Find out in this review.

Hey everyone, at LONG last, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One - the 7th installment of the M:I franchise - has finally hit theaters. This has been on my most anticipated list for three years now (I believe). I have been waiting for almost five years to witness my first Mission film on the big screen, particularly since Fallout is one of my favorite action films of all time and one of my favorite films... period. I love what Tom Cruise and McQ have been doing together since M:I - Rogue Nation so this film has A LOT to live up to. So, does Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One live up to its predecessors (arguably the most consistent action franchise of all-time!) or is it the franchise's first miss in decades? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review. ENJOY!

Hey everyone, we are now officially (over) halfway through 2023 and we've got 6 months of movies to look forward to for the second half of 2023.

Hey everyone, The Flash, the film many consider to be the reset for the DCU, has now been out in theaters for a couple of weeks now and since I have gotten to see the film a few times now, it's finally time to rank them from the worst to best. I love the DC characters; I have my whole life and I always will but suffice to say, this particular universe is not the most loved by the general audience. I, on the other hand, have really liked the DCEU through its run despite the very disconnected and messy lore. With that said, here is my ranking. As always, this ranking is my PERSONAL list so will vary from yours. This list will include SPOILERS from every film listed below, including the recently-released The Flash. Movies to rank: Man of Steel (2013) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) Suicide Squad (2016) Wonder Woman (2017) Justice League (2017) Aquaman (2017) Shazam! (2019) Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) The Suicide Squad (2021) Black Adam (2022) Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) The Flash (2023)

Hey everyone, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has now released in theaters and was set up as Harrison Ford's final adventure with the whip and fedora. As someone who loves the original trilogy, I went in VERY excited. Now that the 5th and final Indy film has released, I am ranking all 5 from the worst to the best. Please note that there will be SPOILERS for the first four films. I will not reveal any plot details for Dial of Destiny as the film just released in theaters globally. Enjoy! Movies to rank: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

Hey everyone, the fifth and final Indiana Jones film starring Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - has now released in theaters. There has been a LONG wait for this final adventure, with delays and uncertainty as to whether Harrison Ford would ever play the character again. Last night, I couldn't really believe my eyes when I finally watched the movie and saw Ford don the fedora and whip again.... but is it actually good and does it wash away the ugly taste Kingdom of the Crystal Skull left in our mouths? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review.

Hey everyone, the premiere of Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion - the latest MCU Disney+ show - debuted just a couple of days ago. While I will not be reviewing this show weekly, I wanted to share some of my quick thoughts on the first episode. This is a show I was very much looking forward to due to the focus on Nick Fury and the serous, paranoia tone it had but did it deliver on its promise? Find out in this SPOILER-FILLED review and mini-breakdown.
