Avengers: Endgame
This week it’s time for me to discuss the behemoth that is “Avengers: Endgame”. I’m sure by the time this is published the film will have made 2 trillion dollars, and it should come as no surprise as this is the culmination of Marvel Studio film series that began with the 2008 film “Iron Man”. […]

Captain Marvel
Even being the comic book geek I am, I knew little to nothing about the character of Captain Marvel (not to be confused with the DC character Captain Marvel now know as Shazam). Thus, I began a bit or research on Captain Marvel and discovered the character first appeared in Marvel Comics back in 1967. […]

The new action/thriller “Close”, now streaming on Netflix, is refreshingly girl powered.

Keanu Reeves is at it again: he’s “acting.” Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Reeves has been wonderful in many roles, including “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, and “The Matrix” series of films. He just needs to stick to roles that require showing little emotion, like”The Day the Earth Stood Still.” However, the minute he stars […]
