Review: "The Suicide Squad"
James Gunn had crafted arguably one of the most successful franchises in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and outside of that he has seen success in smaller films so when it was announced that he had jumped ship to do The Suicide Squad there was a good bit of hype behind the film. The Suicide Squad was largely butchered in it's previous installment with poorly written characters as well as a poor and uneven plot that was ruined probably by studio pressure. The marriage of Gunn and Suicide Squad on the surface seemed like a perfect pairing as his eye for comedy and off-beat characters fit the bill really well for the franchise. Unlike a majority of DC films as of late, The Suicide Squad doesn't miss the mark. Gunn has crafted one of the best films to date and possibly the most purely enjoyable films to have released so far this year.

Movie Review: 'The Suicide Squad'
The Suicide Squad is a yawning chasm where fun should be. This R-rated action-comedy from the often very funny James Gunn is sadly a loud, obnoxious and unconvincing superhero movie. The Suicide Squad is an attempt by Warner Media to make up for the historic failure that was the 2016 disaster, Suicide Squad, minus the ‘The.’ The Suicide Squad is certainly an improvement over the edited in a blender and assembled by blind monkey’s 2016 abomination but that was an incredibly low bar to step over.

Movie Review: 'John and the Hole'
John and the Hole is a haunting and often confounding film. Directed by famed visual artist Pascual Sisto, this unusual story carries echoes of the work of Gus Van Sant, his more meandering dramas such as Elephant or Last Days with the difference being that Sisto has a more distinct purpose. The austere sharpness of the images is given more urgency in Sisto’s work perhaps because he is working in genre, he’s making a thriller as opposed to Van Sant’s medium of formless observation.

The Jungle Cruise Review
A Triumph! The short read A magnificent triumph of a family adventure film, fast paced, stella performances, and rewarding fun throughout. It’s been compared to Indiana Jones, and rightly so but with a modern Disney vibe that shines throughout. Scary in small measure, it delivers above its weight.

Ranking All the Star Wars Movies and TV Shows
I realize how daunting a task a list like this is. Not to mention there's no way to make one without upsetting someone. There are plenty of lists that rank all the Star Wars movies, but I want to include the TV shows. With Disney+, Star Wars and TV have become a powerful combination.
