GLASS ONION: An Inspired Sequel Loaded With Twists and Plenty of Fun

It is a well-made, multilayered murder mystery, whose appeal lies not only in its subversive story, but in its prescient ability to predict the future.

WONDER WOMAN 1984 And SUPERMAN III: A Reflection On Truth, Justice, And The American Way
WONDER WOMAN 1984 And SUPERMAN III: A Reflection On Truth, Justice, And The American Way

Tik Tok, Trump & Pandemic: A New Borat for a New America
Tik Tok, Trump & Pandemic: A New Borat for a New America

Borat 2 sheds portions of the subtlety seen in the first film in a necessary plea to fully understand the harm of our current administration.
