Action
‘The Meg’ is a big, dumb shark movie … but a good one
Movie review: Director Jon Turteltaub’s adaptation of Steve Alten’s popular thriller novel is big and dumb, but also quite entertaining.
‘Hotel Artemis’ borrows ‘John Wick’s’ hospital for criminals, doesn’t do enough to stand out (Movie review)
“Hotel Artemis” is a strange animal. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the film doesn’t do enough to stand out either. It depicts a futuristic Los Angeles in which riots and chaos have overtaken […]

Unfathomable ‘Red Sparrow’ doesn’t invite the audience into its game (Movie review)
“Red Sparrow” is boring, a bit confusing, and almost unnecessarily dirty. The main character (Jennifer Lawrence) basically goes to whore school to become one of the Red Sparrows, Russian spies trained to use sex to […]
‘The Predator’ infuses fun, humor into saga
Movie review: “The Predator” infuses fun and a surprising amount of laughs into the franchise.
