After viewing Atlas, I have to commend Jennifer Lopez for cashing in on the Netflix deal. While it’s tempting to criticize the streaming giant for producing grand-scale yet poorly executed films, my main reaction is a begrudging respect for high-profile actors earning a paycheck with minimal effort. After all, who wouldn’t seize the opportunity to…
The problem with shark movies is that they peaked right out of the gate. Sure, there were shark movies before Jaws, but Spielberg’s 1975 classic brought sharks into the mainstream, and nothing since has quite matched its impact. Under Paris doesn’t entirely escape the looming influence of Jaws, but it makes a better attempt than…
It’s been 20 years since Mean Girls got its own official day (October 3, of course), introduced phrases like “fetch” into pop culture, and established a specific day to wear pink. Now, Cady, Aaron, Janis, Regina George, and the Plastics are back on the big screen. However, don’t call this Mean Girls a remake. While…
Schitt’s Creek fans will be excited for Daniel Levy’s return to Netflix, but they might not get what they’re exactly expecting from Good Grief. The movie marks Levy’s feature debut not just as a director, but also as a writer and producer. With him taking on the lead role too, it’s clearly a story that’s…
Dune 2 dazzles with its visual splendor and epic scale, completing a nearly flawless adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel with an even more impressive cast and action-packed narrative.

Society of the Snow is more than a stark portrayal of the Miracle of the Andes tragedy; it delves into profound themes of friendship, faith, and the ethical dilemmas that arise in life-threatening situations. This powerful Netflix film goes beyond merely recounting familiar details of the incident. Instead, it focuses on exploring the profound human…
Lindsay Lohan stars in Irish Wish, a new Netflix rom-com that employs a well-worn formula to deliver an entertainingly absurd journey through Ireland. In the Lohan universe, this film is a blend of the whimsical magical elements of Freaky Friday (another life-swapping tale) and Just My Luck (where fate conspires to bring together hapless lovers)…
The new Road House doesn’t quite capture the spirit of the 1989 original; instead, it feels like a collection of familiar action movie clichés with sporadic flashes of the original’s playful absurdity. In this film, Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Elwood Dalton, a former UFC fighter who relies on his tough-guy reputation to make money through…
Dev Patel’s film Monkey Man is packed with audacious moments, including one where he bites off a character’s nose, yet that scene barely scratches the surface of the movie’s wild intensity. Making his debut as both a director and an action star, Patel has crafted a film that pays homage to various influences—from Bruce Lee’s…
