REVIEW: The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
For a movie that has no business existing, The Matrix Resurrections draws a lot of attention to how it has no business existing.

Read MoreREVIEW: Eternals (2021)
If Eternals proves anything, it’s that the cosmic wing of the Marvel Cinematic Universe peaked with Thanos. This is a movie that thinks it’s much smarter than it is, content to have its soulless characters speak monotonously about ideas it has no interest in exploring. It’s pretty to look at �...
