Jay Jurden: Yes Ma'am (2025) Omar Holmon This man is a sharpshooter. The pace and cadence feel like he’s nailing so many targets with a single joke or theme.

Appofeniacs (2025) Frantz Jerome Despite the madness, there’s a cautionary tale in Appofeniacs that feels on the pulse of right this second. A quiet weight grounds the scenes and the performances, just on the edge of dystopian.

Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Frantz Jerome The performances are strong, and the world-building is seeding potential for some cool future projects. All of this will obscure that it gets bogged down by choices that make the studio seem out of touch.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) Omar Holmon There so much potential for this Ghostbusters as a franchise to take off into different and new territory. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is a step in the right direction that leaves us waiting for a leap in that same direction.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) Frantz Jerome Between its cultural competency, the talent, the synergy between the turtles, and the New York City of it all – you’ll be hard pressed to find a more fun movie this year.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Omar Holmon Capturing the feel of this movie in words feels impossible.
Posted Jun 07, 2023Edit critic review
Fast X (2023) Frantz Jerome It’s amazing. It does everything it says it will do and there are no upper (or lower) limits to what this franchise will do to center family over everything.
Posted May 24, 2023Edit critic review
Little Richard: I Am Everything (2023) Frantz Jerome The visuals in I Am Everything are the stuff of Richard’s wardrobe. You can see glittery stardust floating in, on, and around moments that are tapping into some seminal moments in Richard’s life or the life of Rock music.
Posted May 24, 2023Edit critic review
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) Omar Holmon There was always something that was funny, witty, or heart wrenching that covered for any cliché that appeared.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) Frantz Jerome John Wick: Chapter 4 benefits by knowing what it is and holding fast to what works. Clean visuals, blistering action, streamlined plot progression, and cutting-edge stuntwork.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) Aisha Jordan What a time we live in where our cartoon characters can give us the space to explore mental health and the importance of leaning on our community.
Posted Apr 14, 2023Edit critic review
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) Omar Holmon This is a movie for adults, children, teens, and anyone that ever rocked with them Mario Bros.
Posted Apr 14, 2023Edit critic review
Creed III (2023) Frantz Jerome Creed III is a thoroughly surprising movie. There is an attention to detail and symbolism that quite frankly has no business being as well done as it was.
Posted Mar 16, 2023Edit critic review
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Frantz Jerome As a standalone movie, it falls squarely right in the center of worth it and not worth it to see in theaters.
Posted Mar 02, 2023Edit critic review
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Frantz Jerome Appropriation and privilege run rampant throughout the development of this entire franchise.
Posted Jan 12, 2023Edit critic review
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Frantz Jerome This film, leading into phase five, makes it as symbolic as it is impactful. It expands the MCU’s diversity through sheer authenticity.

Don't Worry Darling (2022) Aisha Jordan Once the truth is all revealed, it all feels very meh, and you find yourself saying ohh ok – that’s a decision. The editing confused the watcher at times...
Posted Oct 03, 2022Edit critic review
Top Gun: Maverick (2022) Frantz Jerome Cruise delivers a nuanced performance that gives Maverick multitudes. More than the character deserves. They find a way to make this guy likable and that is an achievement in itself...

Prey (2022) Omar Holmon [Prey is] my favorite Predator movie.
Posted Aug 11, 2022Edit critic review
Nope (2022) Frantz Jerome Nope is a well-made movie that will land differently with every viewer and have you looking at the skies a little differently.
Posted Jul 28, 2022Edit critic review
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Garrett Green Sam Raimi fully leaves his footprint in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Maybe the darkest and most violent Marvel film to date, it’s just a whole lot of fun.
Posted May 11, 2022Edit critic review
Ali Wong: Don Wong (2022) Omar Holmon Ali Wong is the most dynamic and dangerous comedian on the mic.

Belle (2021) Mikkel Synder Every movie in 2022 is going to be judged against how Belle made me feel.
Posted Jan 20, 2022Edit critic review
The Matrix Resurrections (2021) Frantz Jerome There are moments, few and far between, that remind audiences of The Matrix that was. However, everything in Resurrections falls short of any of the passion and drive of the message synonymous with the arc of the first trilogy.
Posted Jan 14, 2022Edit critic review
Encanto (2021) Garrett Green With amazing visuals, a stellar story, and a great soundtrack, Encanto is one of the best animated films Disney has recently put out.

Posted Nov 05, 2021Edit critic review
The Harder They Fall (2021) Aisha Jordan It gets top marks for hitting the target right on the bull's eye and a cast that wears the boots oh so well. As the audience, you just wish you had some skin in the game and more to write home about.

Candyman (2021) Kenneth Broome Candyman (2021) might not win awards, but it's worth the watch to keep Candyman's legacy alive.
Posted Sep 17, 2021Edit critic review
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) Skylar Ezell Each half is solid enough that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings really could have been two separate films: An origin story and its bombastic sequel.
Posted Sep 02, 2021Edit critic review
Jungle Cruise (2021) Ja-Quan Greene Johnson is his usual lovable self, but the way his story unfolds is hard to swallow.
Posted Aug 13, 2021Edit critic review
In the Heights (2021) Aisha Jordan For all the warm tender feelings In The Heights gives, there are missing shades, streets and "suenitos" deferred.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) Skylar Ezell While Snake Eyes gets bogged down at times, it does an excellent job of portraying characters who defy archetype expectations.
Posted Aug 06, 2021Edit critic review
The Suicide Squad (2021) Skylar Ezell While The Suicide Squad isn't exactly the masterpiece fans may be hoping for, it's definitely an upgrade.
