'Aggretsuko' Is a Fabulous Anime
When I first watched Aggretsuko, I was taken away by all the cuteness, humorous images, and how much I could relate to the characters. I was like, Retsuko is an epic death metal cat! Then I watched it again and said, hang on a minute! Retsuko's not a cat, she's a red panda. So then I was like, Retsuko is an epic death metal red panda!

'Walking Out' (2017)
“I’ll put myself between you and any bear.I promise.” Walking Out is a story about a father and son who experience their annual get-together again and try to strengthen the wafer-thin bond that still exists between them. In addition, it’s also a story about survival in the wild nature. The well-known story of man against nature and defying all sorts of hardships. If you see a summary somewhere that mentions some fierce-looking bears and their behavior towards this moose chasing couple, then you shouldn’t get too excited. Because this section is just like the rest of the film. Fairly common. So don’t expect exciting images as in Backcountry or The Revenant.

Movie Review: 'Tully'
Tully is a miraculous creation. Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody have crafted a movie so smart, sensitive, funny and daring that I am amazed it exists and isn’t a complete disaster. A simple story about a put upon mother becomes a taut examination of mental health and motherhood in a way you may be able to predict but you will still be very entertained by.

'Griff the Invisible': A Film Review
I want to shed a little light on a rare gem my wife found at the dollar store the other day, and if you’ve not heard of it, don’t worry, because by its very name, it doesn’t get a lot of notice. I am talking about the 2010 film Griff the Invisible.

'Rampage' Review
((This review may contain minor spoilers. While I try not to reveal more than the previews, I do not always succeed.)) It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of the Rock, so when I saw it was time for his next movie, Rampage, to come out, I was ready to go.

'Avengers: Infinity War'—Review
It's nigh-on impossible to understate just how much is riding on Infinity War. Fans have followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe across 19 movies for the last ten years. Everything that's come before has led to this. I had become increasingly concerned just before release that a movie of this scale could quite easily collapse under its own weight, though I now know this wasn't the case. Not only have the Russo Brothers met the ridiculously high fan expectations, they've exceeded them and created something truly spectacular.

What's Right and Wrong With 'the Greatest Showman' (Film Review)
The songwriters behind the award winning La La Land helped create a new musical that brought the "true story" of P.T. Barnum to the big screen. The Greatest Showman chronicles the rise of his circus acts and his desire to be to be famous. It also just slightly presents the struggles the performers go through because they are different. So, how well were those stories told? Was this movie the greatest show on earth? Let's take a look.

A Spoiler-Free Review of 'Avengers: Infinity War'
Avengers: Infinity War. This movie is what MCU fans have been waiting for for ten whole years. Ever since the introduction of the MCU with Iron Man in 2008, fans have been waiting for this kind of a crossover. The expectations have been pretty high and the movie has delivered on what fans have wanted for years.

So, today I saw Avengers: Infinity War, and I can say that it was a truly magnificent and breathtaking experience meant for everyone from fans of Marvel to people who aren't quite so obsessed with the Marvel franchise, and for almost every age. Here is my spoiler free review (although it is best to have seen the other Marvel movies already).

Movie Review: 'Kodachrome'
Kodachrome is a wonderful surprise. This story about a father and son finding a place of understanding debuted on Netflix on April 26, amidst the hype and hoopla of the theatrical release of Avengers Infinity War, and is a welcome bit of counter-programming. That said, even in this lovely father and son story centering on Jason Sudeikis and Ed Harris we can’t completely escape the Marvel Universe; Elizabeth "Scarlett Witch" Olson also co-stars.
