SHAZAM: Fury Of The Gods_Movie Review
“Shazam! Fury of the Gods” is the sequel to the 2019 superhero movie “Shazam!”. As a studio-produced sequel and a superhero movie made in 2023, it arrives with two strikes against it. One would expect a certain level of creative committee-mandated monotony regardless of how one feels about the first movie. However, the makers of “Shazam!” toned down both the cynicism and sentimentality that have come to define lighthearted superhero movies. “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” meanders further in that direction.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) Movie Review
Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” is a timely and accomplished ensemble piece that aims to spark conversation about the events of the 1960s and how far the country has come since then. The film introduces viewers to the key players of the trial of the Chicago 7, who traveled to the city to protest the Vietnam War during the Democratic National Convention. The film’s powerhouse cast, including Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Frank Langella, relish the opportunity to chew on Sorkin’s timely and provocative language. However, the film falls short in some areas due to Sorkin’s direction, which is too polished and lacks the emotional impact that the story deserves.
