Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun: Maverick

After seeing the original Top Gun ages ago (1986 to be exact), I thought it was a fun date movie, but nothing more. When I heard that a sequel was to come some 30 plus years later, I cringed at the thought of how bad it would be. Well, I was definitely caught off guard ..

Dune

Ok, so it no secret that I have been looking forward to a remake of this pretty much since I saw the original David Lynch 1984 which by his own admission he didn’t even like. Now I don’t blame Lynch for not being able to pull off an almost impossible task. In case you have ..

Godzilla vs Kong

Godzilla vs Kong

As a longtime Godzilla lover, this was one that I was very much looking forward to!  Although I personally think that Godzilla would destroy King Kong in any real life battle, for good movie purposes I understand what director Adam Wingard was aiming for.  This movie was a ton of fun with tons of action ..

Unhinged

Unhinged

Well this is no Russell Crowe in Gladiator for sure!  Director Derrick Borte’s horror/thriller featuring a bulked up and unstable Russell Crowe leaves viewers on the edge of their seat throughout.  The film starts as Crowe’s character Tom Cooper is seen very upset with his Ex wife (so much so, he burns down her house ..
