Movie Review: Tenet
Even though it may be the most anticipated theatrical opening of the past year, especially given that we are ourselves caught in a bewildering pandemic reality wherein each one of us we may tend to question what exactly is reality these days, the fact that writer/director Christopher Nolan’s long-awaited Tenet is both equally remarkable and utterly confounding, yet somehow entirely forgettable, ma...[Read More]
A Kid Critic Reviews Now You See Me 2
Now You See Me 2 is a great movie. It is about the Horsemen and how they are forced to steal something. There are many familiar faces from the first Now You See Me (2013), but also some new ones that you really grow to love or hate, depending on the character. This movie has amazing tricks, some which have never been seen before and others that have been performed for centuries. Even though the mo...[Read More]
Movie Review: Kingsman: The Secret Service

As the film opens, we first hear the he...[Read More]

Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises
I’ve been eagerly anticipating The Dark Knight Rises (and secretly dreading it) ever since the release of Batman Begins. The anticipation came from wanting to see what Christopher Nolan did next and the dread came from knowing this was it. Well, the time has come for the final installment in Nolan’s treatment of the Batman universe, and without spoiling anything, this Bat-geek loved it. The Dark K...[Read More]
Batman on Film: Christopher Nolan Resurrects the Dark Knight
In the first half hour of Batman Begins, Thomas Wayne asks young Bruce this question after he falls into a well: “Why do we fall Bruce?” The answer to the elder Wayne’s question is so we can learn to pick ourselves up. Batman fell down pretty hard during Joel Schumacher’s watch and it was up to Christopher Nolan to pick the franchise back up. And pick it up Nolan did…so much so, that I don’t think...[Read More]

Movie Review: Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
You know you’re in for something odd when the commercials proudly show Dwayne Johnson bouncing a berry off his chest in the most gratuitous of 3D effects. What’s worse is when you find out this is actually the most entertaining scene of the whole movie. While for the most part the film is harmless, especially for kids, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island suffers from a lack of decent dialogue, gaping...[Read More]
Movie Review: Cars 2
To be honest, I was never really much of a fan of the first Cars film. It felt like a letdown when compared to the other films Pixar had produced. To date, it is probably my least favorite of the Pixar films. Having said that, even the worst Pixar film is better than most animated (or live action) films being produced and I have come to have a certain affinity for John Lasseter’s ode to the bygone...[Read More]
