Movie Review: Twisters

“This is a dramatization of tornados. They don’t actually destroy two towns a day and create fire whirls on the regular. If they did, there would be no people in Oklahoma.” 4/5 G. E. Uke, ComicsOnline.com

Movie Review: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

When I first went out to watch Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga….I was a bit confused. Mad Max was a great movie, but it was called “Mad Max”. Sure, other characters in the movie were important, but they were side characters. The idea that one of them would get a two-and-a-half-hour movie dedicated entirely to her origin story seemed like a stretch. Especially when it’s a prequel to Mad Max. But um….wow. 

C2E2 2024: Thank You For My Childhood – The Christopher Lloyd Panel

There’s always a level of camaraderie amongst fellow audience members at convention panels. These are your people, those who gathered together from near and far to share in your appreciation towards an actor or fandom. The energy at the Christopher Lloyd panel was something extra special.

Movie Review: Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Two

All of the chapters of the Tomorrowverse DC Universe Movie series have been leading to this. Something has caused a wave of destruction that is rapidly spreading across the multiverse. Based on ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Two sets the stage for the grand finale of this animated incarnation of the DC Universe. “Worlds will live, worlds will die and nothing will ever be the same”. 

Movie Review: Abigail

By G. E. Uke, Reporter I’m not normally the sort of guy who goes out to watch horror movies. Faced with cinematic anxiety, impending jump scares, or embarrassment of any sort my normal response is to hide my face in…

Movie Review: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an action comedy based on a declassified World War II mission called Operation Postmaster. The purpose of this mission was to cripple the German U-boat fleet by destroying an Italian supply ship filled with carbon dioxide filters off the coast of western Africa. It’s a bit dramatized but remarkably well-made.

Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda 4

Thinking about the Kung Fu Panda series has always made me smile. The action is fun, the humor is good, and it lampoons the martial arts obsession pushed onto modern kids by mainstream media. The exceptional part is that it explores important themes like perseverance, body shaming, self-authenticity, and the power of positive thought. Every villain is consumed by insecurity and pride, and their defeat is always heralded by a failure to rise above these unworthy but very human feelings. Kung Fu Panda 4 comes off a bit ham-handed at the start, but much like Cars 3, it is all about aging gracefully and passing the torch.

Movie Review: Dune: Part 2

When I went in to watch Dune: Part 2, I’d already received a taste of what Denis Villeneuve was capable of. I had high expectations because the previous movie had shown me he *could* bring the Dune series to life in all its nuanced complexity. But I was still leery as to whether or not he did. I didn’t want to be disappointed.  

That said, nothing is disappointing about Dune: Part 2. It is a perfect movie.

Blu-ray Review: Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One 

All of the chapters of the Tomorrowverse DC Universe Movie series have been leading to this. Something has caused a wave of destruction that is rapidly spreading across the multiverse. To stop this ultimate threat, a being known as The Monitor has gathered heroes from scattered worlds to save all of reality. Get ready, because Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One has arrived!

Movie Review: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

After I watch a new movie, I’m usually left with a fairly clear idea of whether or not I liked it. Every movie has its pros and cons, and very few are overwhelmingly great or overwhelmingly terrible. This is because movies are not graded solely on one rubric. A whole lot goes into making a movie, so as a reviewer I need to give each one a fair analysis. To do anything less would be unjust. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was a lot…

Movie Review: Migration

by G. E. Uke, Reporter These days most great animated films have some sort of moral or ethic to teach. As time goes by these morals become more targeted and specific, mainly because the “mainstream” ones were covered years ago…
