A whimsical fairy tale for kids. “The Magic Faraway Tree” is a family fantasy film that knows when to be delightful with the fantasy worlds and when to deal with reality. Think […]
The Magic Faraway Tree
It Ends
No traffic jams for this road trip psychological thriller. We had “Backrooms” last May, which took place inside the walls of a furniture store. Nobody knows why or how all of this […]
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
No headaches for this sequel, even if the hero is suffering from them. If you recall the last entry “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” Peter Parker tampered with Doctor Strange’s spell to the […]

Masters of the Universe
He-Man gets a He-Movie that could have been better. When young Adam tells his date, his classmates, his roommate, and his boss that he comes from a fantasy world and only a […]
