Fast and Furious Review
The Fast and the Furious franchise has just released the 10th installment in its series. It was, as expected, a movie. This was my husband's first time ever watching a Fast and Furious movie and it met and exceeded all of his expectations. And though at this point we are used to logic and reason having no place in this franchise, they have truly outdone themselves with the physics defying stunts in this one.

Fast X Movie Review
With the exception of shared universes, the Fast and Furious franchise is one of the longest running blockbuster properties. Since Fast Five in 2011, it raced along with each release getting more bloated and ridiculous than the last, entering a decline after the seventh title. With Fast X, the end of this long and tiring road is in sight, but you shouldn’t expect anything above par from the latest entry.

The Mother Review: The New Jennifer Lopez Movie Struggles to Escape Cliches
In her new movie, “The Mother,” Jennifer Lopez plays an ex-war hero who comes out of hiding to protect her daughter. Unfortunately, the movie may leave viewers wondering whether it was written by ChatGPT. The film's plot feels derivative, and it relies heavily on tired movie tropes that have been used countless times before. Despite Lopez's efforts to stretch her range, the overall movie falls short of expectations.

Can Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 rescue the MCU?
Over the next year and a half, the biggest release to come out of either Marvel or DC will undoubtedly be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, set for release less than three weeks from now. This is due to a number of factors; the culmination of a trilogy following the most-beloved group of superheroes outside of the original Avengers, a chance to see where James Gunn leaves the Marvel universe before jumping across to DC, and the introduction of at least two new key players to the MCU, which sorely lacks star-power following the departure of Iron Man, the original Captain America, Black Panther, and Black Widow.
