The way I see it, superhero movies (DC or Marvel) chose their own tone. They can be either funny, serious, or a bit of both. And if you know how to do […]
Justice League
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
The Oscar race is on! “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” is not only the year’s best dark comedy, it’s also the year’s best movie. That is unless anything in these next few […]

Kingsman: The Golden Circle
It would be generic for me to deliver to you the aspects of sequels-wanted or unwanted-so, I’m not gonna say it. I never wanted a sequel to “Horrible Bosses,” “Neighbors,” or “Daddy’s […]
