A cyborg becomes a hero in a Sci-Fi guilty pleasure I had my doubts about “Alita: Battle Angel,” a magna film adaptation from director Robert Rodriguez and producers James Cameron and Jon Landau. The reasons include it’s a Sci-Fi movie… Read More ›

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
A few missing pieces but still as funny, visually stunning, and warm-hearted as the original The original “Lego Movie” from 2014 was one of the best animated movies I’ve seen this decade. It opened our minds with its illusion on… Read More ›
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
Humans and Dragons deliberate their future in excellent conclusion The “How to Train Your Dragon” trilogy comes to a close with “The Hidden World.” The DreamWorks Animation franchise, if you recall, explained how humans and dragons went from enemies to… Read More ›

I’m planning to visit London someday (hopefully soon), but not on a vehicle. To put it bluntly, “Mortal Engines” has cars with buildings on them, so consider it like “Mad Max.” That looks and sounds inventive, and I was impressed… Read More ›
Ralph Breaks the Internet
I’M GONNA WRECK IT!!!!!! and give it a good review. I attended an NYICFF screening of “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” and I needed to make sure there weren’t that many glitches. There are a few, but we’ll get to that… Read More ›
