What happens when you take a bit of every spy tale out there and add some major star power to it? You get The Gray Man from Netflix. The movie, based on the book of the same name, is by Mark Greaney, who collaborated with Tom Clancy on his final books and continued the legacy of the Jack Ryan
I know, my headline for American Carnage is a little cheeky, but I think it’s really difficult to pull off what brothers Diego Hallivis and Julio Hallivis have done. American Carnage immediately sets the tone with a polarizing opening montage of actual new broadcasts from our leaders on all

This review of Thor: Love and Thunder is SPOILER FREE. It feels terrific to be represented by something as mainstream as Thor: Love and Thunder as a heavy metal fan. It's been a long time coming for the heavy metal renaissance in pop culture, but it finally feels like it's coming. Thor: Love and
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
