Coming Home In The Dark Movie Review
They find a picturesque location for a picnic and settle in for lunch. This calm is soon interrupted when they are accosted by two drifters Mandrake (Daniel Gillies) and Tubs (Matthias Luafutu).

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Movie Review
Shang-Chi… taps into a father and son dynamic and features a refreshing lack of romantic entanglements between its two leads. Shaun (Simu Liu) and Katy (Awkwafina) have good chemistry together, one that is buttressed by their friendship remaining platonic. Shaun has extreme hidden talents that emerge but this doesn’t change his character’s accessible nature.

Blending fantasy and real-world elements into its entertaining mix, it features some of the most ...

Respect Movie Review
Even those with only a passing knowledge will know the more grim details of her life and while this exploration mentions some of those elements, it’s more a celebration of her musical identity. The behind the scenes view of songs coming together in the studio are particularly enlightening.
