My Review of "The Fifth Element"
The Fifth Element is kind of a nostalgic classic movie to me. I was around 17 at the time of the movie first came out and I guess I was pretty much the demographic this movie was aiming for. It definitely shows this through some of the sequences in this movie that didn't age particularly well. Now in 2021, I've bought this movie probably the 3rd time in yet another video format, 4k Blu-ray.

Loki Episode Two: New Answers, New Questions
Heyyy episode three is coming out tomorrow! Time for a last-minute Loki review! This episode was a give-and-take for me. We didn’t get the same powerhouse emotional moments Episode One gave us, but we did get a massive leap forward in terms of story development; to the extent that people are saying the whole MCU could be affected. There’s only a few hours before Episode Three, and there’s a lot of ground to cover; so let’s jump right into the recap! Spoilers ahead.

Tribeca 2021: ‘No Running’ Review—A Subpar Thriller
It’s rare when we get to see a person of color headline a mystery sci-fi thriller, but that is precisely what we get with No Running, a film from Delmar Washington in his feature directorial debut. The film follows a young black man named Jaylen (Skylan Brooks), whose girlfriend vanishes in a storm.

Inside No. 9 Season 6 – Review and Episode Rankings
Since it premiered in 2014, Inside No.9, the dark comedy anthology series from The League of Gentlemen co-creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith – has consistently proven itself as one of the most inventive and original shows on British TV. The episodes are entirely stand-alone (although one turned out to be a followup to Psychoville) and set in a single location linked to a Number 9 in some way. The 37 episodes so far have varied from lightweight farce to gothic horror, from domestic drama to murder mystery, but the most common format is a seemingly banal event or activity going horribly wrong, usually with a gruesome sting in the tail. Pemberton and Shearsmith have appeared together in all but two of the episodes (Season One featured one episode without Pemberton and one without Shearsmith) accompanied by a large collection of veteran British actors, ranging from Gemma Arteton and Jack Whitehall to Derek Jacobi and Fiona Shaw.

Review of 'The Diabolic'
The Diabolic follows Nemesis as she takes Sidonia’s place in the treacherous galactic court. Interesting Setting The Diabolic was reminiscent of a space opera that worked. It takes place in the far-off future, after a deep expiration of space. Society is separated by those who live planetside called Excesses, and then the aristocrats who live in domes in space with artificial gravity and weather.

‘Luca’ Review—A Heartwarming Beauty
Pixar has always been my favorite animation studio, and they have blessed us all again with a Disney+ original, Luca. This film comes to us from long-time storyboard artist Enrico Casarosa in his feature directorial debut. Our story follows two young boys having fun in an Italian summer as they must hide the fact that they are sea monsters in a city that fears them.
