Film Review – Eden
The title of Eden (2024) is a not so subtle reference to the biblical “Garden of Eden.” It was a supposed paradise, but through greed and corruption, man was banished from it never to return. It doesn’t take a genius to see the parallels here,…

Film Review – The Fantastic Four: First Steps
***Warning: This Review Contains Minor Spoilers*** The Fantastic Four have had a rocky history with big screen adaptations. The 1994 version has its charm, but it exists more as a cult anomaly than a beloved mainstream property. The opposite can be said about the mid 2000…
