I'm happy to say, overall, Alien: Romulus is not terrible. It's just okay.

This director is smart, because this semi-autobiographical film is not just about displaying and recreating his childhood memories but about exploring the emotions and experiences in the whirlwind of adolescence.

Is Trap supposed to be a tense thriller or a dark comedy? After watching the one hour and 45 minutes of this film, I gave up caring about my answer.

As the 34th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I walked away from this one thinking it was just okay. Not a disaster....but merely satisfactory.

The NEON studio has just released one of the best films I've seen so far this year.

The historical fiction parts of this film are fun, being written and acted with a likable, energetic charm set against the high stakes space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. The romantic comedy parts of this film are what left me feeling underwhelmed.

A Quiet Place: Day One works successfully since it isn't just about the science-fiction violence with the aliens prowling and attacking. There's also time given to the characters' feelings and backgrounds, which takes viewers through the well-paced peaks and valleys of noisy intensity and hushed contemplation.

The Bikeriders is a great film to watch in the summer, because it feels distinctly American and reminds us all the importance of community.

After watching this one, I became concerned about the overall quality of new releases in theaters today. We're approaching the edge of a content cliff resulting from the Hollywood writers and actors strike from last year.

I learned pregnancy is sometimes gross and scary, but it's much more manageable with a friend.
