Moonknight
After being very pleasantly surprised by the first episode of Moonknight I was very much looking forward to how they were going to open this story up further. I think that so far they are doing a great job of balancing all of their story elements, here are my in-depth, as I watched thoughts on the second episode of Moonknight.

I Want You Back is Amazon Prime's latest romantic comedy for 2022. Again we come to expect certain things with this genre of movie and I think this movie knows that. They're able to play around with those expectations at times and for the most part they do it pretty well.

Majique MiMiPublished 2 years ago in GeeksFantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Movie Review
Harry Potter is an iconic property, but for the last decade it’s been coasting along with diminishing returns. The franchise took a major downturn in 2018 with The Crimes of Grindelwald, but production has continued at pace. One recast and several delays later, The Secrets of Dumbledore makes an improvement, but not by much.

Majique MiMiPublished 2 years ago in GeeksThe Batman: meh
So I was actually excited about this movie. We didn't have a stand alone Batman movie in 10 years. When they announced Robert Pattinson would play Batman, I was skeptical. I hated the Twilight Saga and most of his other roles had never really sparked anything for me. He has always been a very blah personality in my eyes. This role, however, fit him quite well. He played the low tone, mysterious loner as perfect as I could've hoped it would have been played.
Michael NoonPublished 2 years ago in GeeksLifetime Review: 'Nightmare Neighborhood Moms'
Synopsis: Charlotte Porter (April Hale) wanted a fresh start for herself and her daughter Jordan (Summer Madison) after her divorce. She thought she'd found it in a beautiful new home in Cascade Lakes. But by moving into the neighborhood, she's unknowingly made herself a new enemy: Bonnie Mason (Gina Simms), her next-door neighbor. In addition to being hyper-competitive, Bonnie is still not over her husband Christian (Johnathan Gorman) having an affair with their last neighbor, who was killed in a robbery gone wrong. Convinced that Charlotte is trying to steal her husband, Bonnie resolves to do everything in her power to destroy her. This spells danger for Charlotte and her daughter, as Bonnie was actually responsible for the murder of her husband's mistress. What else is she prepared to do to keep her outwardly perfect life intact?
Trevor WellsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksVillainess Review: Bonnie Mason (Nightmare Neighborhood Moms)
I had been anticipating this film, Nightmare Neighborhood Moms, for a few months, and the wait was definitely worth it. So the film wastes very little time establishing its main villainess, it's Bonnie Mason, who is shown in the opening scene of the film confronting her husband's mistress, Kira, with a gun. What follows is a wave of misogynistic rants directed at Kira, right before she shoots her rival to death. A few months pass, and Bonnie sees some new neighbors in the form of Charlotte Porter and her teenage daughter, Jordan. Of course, it takes all of two seconds for Bonnie not to like them, so she attempts to get some info from them directly.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Metal Lords"
Metal Lords is the latest coming of age film to come out in 2022. I was looking forward to seeing this one as I loved School of Rock. This is not School of Rock but that's not a bad thing either. They're able to find their own voice and I love them for this.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksSonic the Hedgehog 2 Review: Does it Live up 2 the Hype? (Minor spoilers)
With the success of Paramount's 2020 film Sonic the Hedgehog, based on the hit video game series of the same name, high expectations were placed on the sequel, which introduces the fan favorite sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by veteran voice actress Colleen O'Shaugnessy), and the tough as leather rival, Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba). The first film may have gotten a bit of a rocky start with initial reactions to the first design being so great that Paramount had to go back and change it, but this film had no such uphill battle. All eyes were set upon how Sonic the Hedgehog 2 could build upon the story established in its predecessor. Not only did it meet the expectations given to it, but in some cases, the movie exceeded them.
Culture SlatePublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Everything Everywhere All at Once"
Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of my most hotly anticipated movies of 2022. Today I got to watch it and for the most part I was not disappointed. It's a very high concept movie that is somehow made into a coherent digestible understanding. I don't know how they did it but the feat is miraculous.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksShort Film Reviews: Plural Titles
Cutting Moments: If you're squeamish of blood or triggered by depictions of self-harm, you should proceed with caution while watching the first movie on this list. One of three short films directed by Douglas Buck as part of his 2003 anthology Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America, Cutting Moments is a disturbing look at a suburban family coming undone in the grisliest way imaginable. With her marriage long dead and her family falling apart, Sarah (Nica Ray) tries everything she can to keep it all together. But when that fails, she's driven to do the unthinkable. While infamous for being a gruesome flick whose special effects were supervised by horror icon Tom Savini, Cutting Moments is more than just blood and guts. In fact, the gore is saved for the end and serves to underscore the main horror of the film: the deterioration of Sarah's family and the disturbing subtext of their dysfunction.
