As a huge Mission: Impossible fan, Dead Reckoning was not the movie I was hoping to see.

Dead Reckoning has some exciting stunts but unfortunately fails to reach the heights of past M:I entries.
Read MoreGuardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 Review
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 is a mess filled with tonal inconsistency, forced humor, and brutal animal cruelty. Marvel is not what it once was.

Babylon Review
Babylon is a frenetic, oppulent, and debachurous Old Hollywood epic showcasing the highs and disturbing lows of the film industry as it transitions from silent films to talkies. This is a massive film that could have benefited from additional editing for some gross out sequences that aren’t necessary. However, its exploration of Hollywood’s toxic nature juxtaposed with the art that arises out of the ashes will leave you thinking long after you leave the theater.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Review
The loss of Chadwick Boseman is deeply felt with the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. While I admire the film for paying tribute and tackling grief, Wakanda is not the same without the heart and soul of the franchise.

Armageddon Time Review
Armageddon Time is an underwhelming drama about the American Dream that could have been so much more. The film touches on some interesting themes, but its meandering script and lack of characterization keep it from achieving greatness.

Don't Worry Darling Review
Despite all of the drama, Don’t Worry Darling is not an awful film, but it misses the mark on being something truly great. It’s highly reminiscent of the Stepford Wives and The Truman Show with a few too many plot points left unexplained.

See How They Run Review
See How They Run is a stylish meta murder mystery with an impressive cast. Unfortunately it gets bogged down by a lack of tension and flat humor.

Bullet Train Review
While some of the violence and ridiculous finale of Bullet Train could easily be toned down, this makes for an intriguing summer blockbuster that’s a little bit Agatha Christie meets Guy Ritchie. Bullet Train is a stylish, action-packed thrill ride from start to finish.
