My Review of "The Pentaverate"
The Pentaverate is Netflix's newest comedy TV show that popped up. It's special because it's a show from Mike Myers. He hasn't really churned out anything since the Love Guru. It's too bad too because he was huge back in the day with hits like Wayne's World and Austin Powers. After so many years it's nice to see that he's still got some gas left in him.

Twisted Tango of Disgust & Delight
Twisted Tango of Disgust & Delight A Little Background I originally reviewed Port of Princes in October of 2018, for a now-defunct urban book review club, Paperback Pushers. The former leader of the pack, April Freeman, designed the group like an up-and-coming organized drug ring. We definitely pushed product- product being books. This left us with stacks on stacks of books and e-books. I read and reviewed dozens but a few of them made a lasting impression.

Free Guy (2021) Movie Review and Synopsis
Free Guy (2021) Movie Review and Synopsis Here is a configuration that resembles the image as a whole from "The LEGO Movie", and "Free Guy" and is a cute Guy (Ryan Reynolds), an NPC (personnage non joueur) in a video game in the world. "Ville Free". He wears the same clothes every day, orders the same coffee, and goes to work at the same bank, which is robbed several times a day by real players in this "Grand Theft Auto" game. He does not care. Things are going great for Guy and his best friend Buddy (Lil Rel Howery) until the cheerful boy sees a real gamer calling himself a Molotov girl (Comer) and crashes his model while following the pin-up woman down the street.

My Review of "Batman Begins"
Batman Begins came out back in 2005. It's hard to believe it's been that long since this movie came out. I wanted to check it out again because I remembered really liking this movie a while back. Now that the new The Batman movie had recently come out, I wanted to see if I could enjoy this one again. Both of these movies are the starting points of Batman's career.

My Review of "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness"
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has just come out. Fans have been dying for this movie ever since the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Fans are expecting tons of cameos and see familiar faces from the MCU. In the end that is what they got but is this more of a template of marvel movies to come?

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. How Marvel China Conquered Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) is a hereditary warrior raised by the mysterious Ten Rings organization. It is led by the hero's father, Xu Wenwu (Tony Leung Chu Wai). While still a child, he lost his mother, who was also fluent in martial arts, and, under the guidance of his father, accumulated strength in himself for merciless revenge. As time went on, Xu Wenwu sent Shang-Chi and his younger sister Xialin (Zhang Meng'er) on dangerous missions. Realizing the perniciousness of his father's upbringing, the young man flees to America, gets a job as a parking attendant in a fashionable hotel, and begins to communicate with the outrageous Katie (Aquafina) to enjoy life in daily karaoke gatherings to the song Hotel California. However, the ghosts of the past strive to pull Shang-Chi out of his favorite routine. For the sake of a peaceful future, he is forced to return and correct the mistakes made by his disgraced father.

A new production of Pinter's 'The Homecoming' fails to sizzle
A new production of The Homecoming, the 1965 play by Harold Pinter, is currently touring to good reviews (for example see The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph). Having watched it, I was left wondering where the motivation to make a new production for this specific play came from. Surely the director Julian Glover had a reason for getting the show back on the road again, but it is not drawn out. Several reviews have suggested that the play is increasingly relevant in the time of #metoo, but I must confess I thought the opposite.

The English Teacher - A Movie Review
You can’t run away from this. The play is going up in a week! The English Teacher is a 2013 film. A teacher’s old student gives her his play to read. Impressed with what he has written, Linda asks the school board to let the theater put it on. Hindering some roadblocks, getting this play on its feet is harder than everyone thinks.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie Review
In 2016, one of Marvel’s more underrated characters made his big screen debut. Six years and multiple cameos later, Dr Strange has returned for his second outing with director Sam Raimi at the helm. It should have been a brilliant match, but the result is less than impressive.

Movie review, Cruella. Rock, mole, and separation
Born to be bad Like many viewers around the world, I was looking forward to the release of Cruella. And now, having looked, I remain under a pleasant impression after what I saw. The movie almost lived up to my expectations.
