Review: Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, The Mitchells vs The Machines, and Four Good Days
Michael B. Jordan brings his acting chops to the Ryanverse (is that even a thing?) but does Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse even deserve him? The Mitchells vs. The Machines is an animated delight. Four Good Days also wastes the potential of its stars. More about Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse: An elite Navy SEAL uncovers an…

Review: Mortal Kombat and Stowaway
2021’s Mortal Kombat is on the cusp of cult terrible-greatness and Stowaway on Netflix is a bunch of very smart characters acting very stupid (in space!)

Review: I Care a Lot, Supernova, and Flora & Ulysses

Review: The Little Things, Palmer, The Dig, and Penguin Bloom
Three Academy Award winners do not an interesting film make in the crime thriller The Little Things. Justin Timberlake tries to put his progressive acting hat on in Palmer. Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes dig up some dirt (but not the interesting kind) in The Dig. Finally, Naomi Watts is wheelchair bound (but certainly not…
