A third sequel that shoots and scores. The “John Wick” franchise keeps getting better and better. When I first saw the original movie in 2014, I’ve never expected it to be this […]
John Wick: Chapter 4
Shazam: Fury of the Gods
This sequel lacks the laughs and superpowers of the original. It’s amazing to me that despite the fact that Billy Batson can switch back and forth from a human teen to an […]
Scream VI

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
One of the rare sequels to be as fresh as the original. I’ve seen both “Knives Out” movies at the Chicago International Film Festival, and I loved both of them. Each one, […]
