The Cowardly Heart of 'Prometheus' 10 Years Later
I really liked Prometheus when I watched it in theaters for the first time. I was bowled over by the technical virtuosity of Prometheus and the wonderful performances of stars Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender. Unfortunately, upon revisiting Prometheus I discovered the emptiness of Prometheus. The hedging of bets over the existence of God versus the proof of science is the realm of the coward.

A Multiverse of Madness: 5 Things I Loved About Everything Everywhere All At Once. Top Story - May 2022.
I had no idea the film Everything Everywhere All At Once existed until my husband showed me the trailer, and it promised to be everything I wanted in a movie. For one, it's like those loopy time travel stuff that I really enjoy. And it looked to be equal parts chaotic, dark, weird, funny, action-packed, mind-boggling and thought-provoking, but also emotional and family-centered.

What Happened to Anakin's Hand?
Star Wars fandom forgive me in advance if I am not as well versed in the lore, and someone else has covered this subject. I read many of the extended universe books that came out in the 90s and early 2000s, but since entering the workforce, they have slipped out of my library.

The Fast and the Furious: Impact of a Legend.
The summer of 2001 was without a doubt one of my favorite summers as a kid. I remember being at summer camp, going to the beach, going to the zoo, getting a visit from my grandparents and all the great music and movies that came out at that time. One of the top five most memorable movies from that summer that all action adventure junkies were excited about was The Fast and the Furious, starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.

A woman who chose life to be free and reckless has to look after her estranged son. While on the road, Diane and 11-year-old Peter work through their tension to create a bond.

Five Things Movie Makers Should Just Stop
If you watch a lot of movies, and I do, you know that there are trends over time in how movies are made. Studios, directors, writers, designers - all fall victim to the tendency to look around and see what other people are doing, and then copy it. Occasionally this is a good thing, more often it just leads to lazy movie making. And every now and then, it's downright ridiculous.

Movie Review: 'Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers' is Deeply Misguided
The underlying story of Disney’s Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers reboot is human trafficking. Before you freak out and tell me I’m overreacting, hear me out. The plot of the new Chip N’ Dale Rescue Rangers has the newly reunited chipmunk friends searching for their missing friend, Monterey Jack. Jack has been kidnapped by a nefarious gang, his face has been altered, and he’s been sold to an overseas animation company to star in knockoff cartoons against his will.

Movie Review: 'Firestarter' Remake Flames Out
The remake of Firestarter is the result of what I call, I.P mining. The idea is to take a relatively memorable property from the past, attach a young movie star, and rake in the profits. That’s the goal anyway. Whether the re-makers of Firestarter will profit from their I.P mining is something only time and box office will tell. What I can tell you about the makers of Firestarter 2022 is that their movie recycling is more akin to composting. It stinks.
