After ten years, eighteen movies, and dozens upon dozens of hours, heroes, and villains, “Avengers: Infinity War” is the culmination of Marvel Studios’ cinematic promise to entertain.
Is there anything on Earth as pure as a dog’s love?
2013’s “Pacific Rim” gave me exactly what I was promised: giant robots beating the living pulp out of giant monsters.
Video game movies have gotten a bad rap ever since “Super Mario Bros.”
In 2045, the world’s most valuable economic resource is the OASIS, a massive virtual reality universe where people can escape the overpopulated, polluted slum the world has become.
Much like the current socio-political climate of Mexico, “Gringo” is enormously messy.
Unlike what seems to be the majority, I was not at all impressed by director Alex Garland’s previous film, “Ex Machina.” It’s a trite, boring piece regurgitating the dangers of AI — and the humans that make it, ooh — for the umpteenth time. I just didn’t get it I suppose.
There’s an unsettling air of control hovering over Cory Finley’s directorial debut, “Thoroughbreds.”
“Red Sparrow” had me totally breathless in its opening scenes. The seamless interflow between a prima ballerina’s beautifully tragic final performance and the thrilling intrigue of a CIA spy exchange had me going well into the first chunk of the film as the situations diffused into what would become the central plot.

The world-famous P.T. Barnum was many things, but being a respectable, handsome, well-mannered man — basically Hugh Jackman — wasn’t one of them.
People in this generation have been desensitized by the luxury of waking up to shiny new fiascos across all forms of media all day, every day.
We live in an uneasy geopolitical climate these days. Whether that concerns international relations, social troubles or impending environmental doom to you, these matters are of undoubtedly high relevance in our contemporary politics. Not to be defeated by these trying problems, Alexander Payne has addressed them in a challenging but inspiring way in his latest film, “Downsizing.”
With releases such as “Spiderman: Homecoming,” “IT” and now capped off with “Lady Bird,” 2017 was a great year for coming-of-age films.
It’s no secret that DC has been severely lagging behind Marvel in the cinematic universe department. DC’s films have gathered mostly mixed reviews not quite hitting a universally high critical consensus until this year’s “Wonder Woman.”
The film doesn’t stray far from its famous source material, the classic Agatha Christie murder mystery novel. But Kenneth Branagh’s smart direction and lead performance as Hercule Poirot had me gripped from start to finish.
I love Marvel Studios. I can always rely on them to deliver on a good time at the very least.
Albuquerque’s Old Town is a site of rich historical significance dating back to the city’s inception in the early 18th century. Beautiful plazas, churches and shops riddle the area, making it a tourist magnet.
