The futility of being one in a bazillion reviewers tackling Avengers Infinity War is not lost on me. So what’s going to make you any wiser spending the next few minutes taking in my words over someone else? Listen and find out.

A Quiet Place takes the best parts of classics like Alien, Pitch Black and Signs and delivers something new and fresh that will stay with audiences for a long time to come.

Is Black Panther the best Marvel movie yet? No. Does it deserve the high praise it's getting from critics? Sort of. Black Panther is good, but it's not great and it's far from perfect.
