May 26th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There has been a lot of talk lately describing Tom Cruise as “The Last Great Movie Star.” While that distinction can be debated, what’s hard to argue is that Cruise – who will be turning 60 this year – is the ultimate showman. Where other movies rely…

May 19th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Film Review – Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

May 6th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The idea of a “Multiverse” is all the rage now. From Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), to Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), stories featuring multiple dimensions with multiple versions of the same characters is the hot new trend for movies.
