Well, today is very exciting for SFWA and the Nebulas.

Quick question for the holidays 🎄 ... What if the monster under the bed was real and the only adult who believed you was a hitman? Looking for something different, quirky, and fun to watch this season? Dust Bunny might be for you. Check out my review: youtu.be/zqFBZy-fkIM

I just posted a new breakdown of the Supergirl trailer, and there’s a lot more going on beneath the surface than people think. There's some good and there's some bad... it all sets up a potentially meaningful arc if the film follows through. Here's my full breakdown on YouTube: youtu.be/3iVjKtKVKpU

Hi All, I just left the theater after watching the new film Dust Bunny and ... it's wonderful. My review is coming soon, but I liked it so much that I just had to share! It's a delightful horror story for kids about a girl who hires a hit man to kill the monster under her bed.

The Netflix–Warner (Paramount?) merger isn’t just business news, it has huge implications for the kinds of stories we’ll see in the future and how we consume them. If you’re curious about what this could mean for movie lovers, creators, and the industry, here’s my breakdown: youtu.be/8-IPOgA910o

Reviews for Wake Up Dead Man are all over the place. So, I took a look at the storytelling, the characters, and whether Netflix's new #KnivesOut mystery earns its reveal. I gotta say, Daniel Craig surprised me. I'd love to know what you think so far. YouTube Link: youtu.be/o4spIQAxdgQ

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery brings Benoit Blanc to a small parish where Monsignor Wicks has been murdered. The most obvious suspect is the junior Monsignor, Father Jud, who recently joined the parish. The problem is the way the murder was committed…

Holiday movies are their own little tradition for me, and they start earlier than you think. In fact, they've already started and some of them are already here like Lost and Found in Cleveland.

The first Wicked film was everywhere, but Wicked for Good arrived almost silently, and that worried me. So the real question walking into the theater was simple: can Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo actually deliver a finale that lives up to the hype the first movie created?

Hamnet (2025), Movie Review: A Heartbreaking Masterpiece Hamnet is a new movie, starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, about the marriage of William Shakespeare and his early family life.

When a new version of Frankenstein comes along, it has to rise to the occasion. It has to bring something new, something innovative, something worthy of Shelley’s masterpiece. So, is that what director and writer Guillermo del Toro achieves?

Good Fortune transforms Keanu Reeves from everyone’s favorite gun wielding assassin in the John Wick universe into a miracle wielding angel with wings that are a couple sizes too small. This film genuinely had me LAUGHING! Check out my review to see if this one is for you youtu.be/4kWxoP37SI4?...

So, I wrote an opinion piece for about what happens when the federal government pressures institutions to break the law or be punished. It should matter to us all: 🔗 medium.com/hold-the-cen...

I'm no expert on the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike, but having Disney release a Halloween movie in July actually seems like a great example of why the creatives are on strike. I added this to my movie Haunted Mansion movie review since it's important to give solid examples. https://shorturl.at/BFGR4
