Recapping the MCU
One of the biggest obstacles the MCU faces right now is gaining and retaining audience members. The universe is so vast and interconnected that unless you’ve seen every single project it feels like you're missing something. And the unfortunate reality is that you probably are. But if you don’t care about the details, inside jokes, comic book references and every thread of interrelation then you really just need the broad strokes so here we go. Whether you are a tired, burnt out fan or a new audience member I’m hoping these short guides will help you catch up on all of the important information so you can enjoy the current state of the MCU.

Antebellum (2020) Movie Review
The film "Antebellum" attempts to deliver a mind-bending narrative along the lines of a typical M. Night Shyamalan movie, but ends up leaving viewers confused and disoriented. The film is based on a big twist that is partially revealed at the 40-minute mark, followed by a series of third-act revelations. The movie tries to comment on the racial unrest of our current times, but the message at its heart is muddled.

Honest Thief (2020) Movie Review
Liam Neeson is back in action in "Honest Thief," portraying a man with a unique set of abilities that include safecracking and bomb-making. This movie is a simple, no-frills, action-packed adventure that has become a hallmark of Neeson's career in his later years. While these films can be thrilling and gripping, they can also be flimsy and weak. "Honest Thief" falls somewhere in between, providing an average performance with limited opportunities for the supporting cast to showcase their abilities beyond car chases and superficial characterizations. Nonetheless, Neeson's solid and reliable performance at the center, along with a few intriguing details, make the film somewhat satisfying.

Tenet (2020) Movie Review
In the world of cinema, few directors have a distinct style as Christopher Nolan. His films are a culmination of artistry, technical prowess, and storytelling that leave viewers with a lasting impression. The same can be said for his latest film, Tenet, which is no exception to the rule. However, with a film as complex and multi-layered as Tenet, it’s hard to determine if it will stand the test of time. Despite being a cinematic experience of epic proportions, the complexity of the film can make it difficult to fully comprehend.

Greenland (2020) Movie Review
The disaster movie genre is no stranger to Gerard Butler, who has previously starred in the cartoonish and ludicrous “Geostorm.” However, his latest epic “Greenland” takes a slightly more grounded approach, surprising audiences with a dose of realism amidst the chaos. While the film still has its moments of dopiness, it manages to exceed expectations and provide an enjoyable watch.

The Invisible Man (2020) Movie Review
Leigh Whannell’s "The Invisible Man" is a science-fiction horror film that explores the repercussions of emotional violence and the lasting trauma it leaves. Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) is the central character who bears the brunt of the abuse, though the abuser himself is unseen. Whannell's innovative film amplifies the pain and psychological terror experienced by Cecilia, allowing the viewer to feel the visceral scars that she carries with her. The film does an exceptional job of updating the classic Universal Movie Monster, while also addressing timeless and contemporary anxieties.

Unhinged (2020) Movie Review
The movie "Unhinged" takes place in an unnamed state where license plates read "America's Heartland." This suggests that the events of the film could happen anywhere, even in seemingly safe and secure parts of the country. The opening titles show a montage of traffic jams, car crashes, riots, and random violence, accompanied by talk radio reports of job losses, general despair, and woefully underfunded and understaffed police forces. This sets the stage for the mayhem that follows and portrays a world where people must protect themselves.

Game Night (2018) Movie Review
"Game Night" is a comedic masterpiece that has something for everyone. This film is directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the duo behind hit movies like "Horrible Bosses" and "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," and written by Mark Perez. The film follows a group of game-loving partiers who are drawn into a web of danger that leads to hilarious consequences. With a raucously funny script, expertly paced direction, and outstanding performances from the cast, "Game Night" is a rollercoaster ride of absurdity that you won't soon forget.
