Review of 'What Big Teeth'
With a layered mystery, a haunting setting, and thrilling tension, What Big Teeth has an otherness to it that pulls you in and forces you to keep reading. --Tricia Levenseller, Publisher's Weekly-bestselling author of The Shadows Between Us Eleanor Zarrin has been estranged from her wild family for years.

My Review of "Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow"
Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow is the continuation of the Mobile Suit Gundam series. The first movie was a little long but it was only to introduce us to many of the characters of the series. Now that we're into the sequel the series can go right into stories and action without too much explanation. As a result we have a much faster flowing movie and one that is more exciting than the first.

My Review of "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials"
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is a sequel that came out in 2015. Although it's very beneficial for you to have watched the first Maze Runner movie, I don't think it is totally necessary. This movie feels quite different from the first movie but the relationships that were built in the first movie remain in this movie.

Review: "Godzilla vs. Kong"
The MonsterVerse had been building steam ever since Gareth Edward's Godzilla and Jordan Vogt-Roberts' Skull Island. The two movies were both solid introductions to these titans, and Skull Island definitely seemed to indicate the two would inevitably fight. That's not even taking into consideration that the idea has been around since 1962 Toho Studios created the first Kong versus Godzilla. Ultimately this is what they've been building up to and they had to stick the landing in order to continue to cash in on their giant assets, and largely it delivers in it's promise to viewers of a massive fight but in other aspects the film is a disappointment. Granted, it is difficult to tell a story that is centered so heavily around the spectacle of two larger then life beings fighting one another, but it requires a even more delicate touch to make us care about what is happening on screen. Ever since Toho Studios first made these films back in the sixties, they always had humans delivering exposition and or showing mankind making a muck of the situation, but it's always the weakest points of the film. The same applies here as it is a increasingly difficult balance to maintain.
