After winning Best Picture and Best Director for 2020’s “Nomadland” and receiving a mixed reaction for 2021’s “Eternals”, Chloé Zhao manages to get back to her dramatic roots b

Regretting You: One of the worst movies of the year
Based on the novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover, the newest romantic drama is a forgettable movie that, like its title, will make you regret paying to see it. Having previously directed 2014's "The Fault in Our Stars", director Josh Boone hope to bring the same charm and relatability that he did with that but what we got with his direction instead was a film with no likeable characters, a screenplay that has scenes that get replayed one too many times, a conflict that i

Tron: Ares: The third film in the franchise is a fun sci-fi adventure
The third film in the famous science fiction series features excellent visual effects and fantastic action sequences that will leave you entertained in a movie that doesn’t take itself seriously. Director Joachim Rønning takes us back to the world of Tron by offering a story that appears original but plays it too safe with its elements. There are plot elements that have been done before in other films, such as corporate tycoons using machines to take over the world, a main ch
