But Sheepdog is different - in the best way possible. After embarking on a cross country road trip (which was inspired by a fateful encounter with a tow truck driver who served in the military), director Steven Grayhm tells a story of veterans all enduring struggles of their own. Not only does Mr. Gr

Comedy is the most enjoyable genre in the world of entertainment. Whether it’s on the big screen or TV, comedy is meant to make the audience laugh by showing the most absurd scenarios and hilarious scenes. For many decades, comedy movies have been released, but one of the best eras of comedies is the 1930s. Most people would think that would be an odd decade for comedy cinema. After all, it was a decade when the United States was dealing with the Great Depression, Nazi German

Courtesy of Netflix On July 15, 2016 Netflix scored a huge home run with the premiere of Stranger Things. The show had everything an audience can love. It had suspense, horror, mystery, great special effects, great characters, romance, etc. The show became a huge pop culture sensation and became Netflix's top show. Seasons went by and the show's quality was the same. Everyone was excited to see how this show would end. On December 31, 2025 we found out how Stranger Things end

Courtesy of Marvel Studios The first teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday  is officially out, and it confirms Chris Evans will be returning as Steve Rogers. The teaser didn’t give much else away except that Steve will officially be a father when he returns next year.

Courtesy of Netflix Thanks to one little brave boy on August 30th, 2023, the entire world would soon find out about all the abuse and manipulation taking place at Jodi Hildebrandt’s house down the block. The twelve year old - with open wounds and in a frail state - fled through a window and rang doorbells. One of the neighbors finally answered and the entire story unraveled soon after . . . how deep his mother Ruby Franke was now intertwined with Hildebradnt’s mentorship prog

Courtesy of Netflix Volume 2 of the last season of Stranger Things dropped on Christmas. After the surprising and awesome finale of volume 1, volume 2 is hoping to continue the show's momentum in its final season. But, volume 2 doesn't do that. It derails the show's momentum and leaves fans bored for the show's finale. What does it get so wrong? Let's check it out. First, the nostalgia of Stranger Things is dying if not dead already. Every episode follows the same formula. If

This isn't your ordinary sports film. Sure, there's ping pong in it and scenes where matches are being played. But, Marty Supreme is more than that. It is a film about doing whatever it takes to achieve your dream, even if you hurt people along the way. This film has been ma

Courtesy of Netflix After Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the Knives Out franchise was stuck in the mud. The disappointing sequel was seen a huge disappointment for movie goers and Netflix. But after 3 years, our favorite detective Benoit Blanc is back. This time he is investigating the murder of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks. Like all other Knives Out films, we follow Blanc as he investigates a group of people and discovers which one murdered him. But in this film, one actor

2025 was a solid year for Warner Bros. Discovery movies, as many movies did well at the box office and were praised by critics. Because of that and its large library of movies and shows, it was no surprise that Paramount Skydance was pursuing a merger with the company. Paramount’s CEO, David Ellison, made a few bids for WB in September and October that were rejected by David Zaslav. Zaslav had already planned to split Warner Bros. Discovery into two separate companies, with D

Courtesy of HBO Max and TCM Let’s get the strange part out of the way first. Song of My City  is indeed a montage-like time capsule into the 1970s New York City that can only be captured through a cinematic lens. That much is certain. But how much can the viewer grab onto, perceive and feel when the project in question is only a seventeen minute short film? Surprisingly, a whole lot. Now diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer, filmmaker David C. Roberts has decided to craft

Courtesy of Getty Images Movies have been one of the best entertainment pastimes this world has ever seen. The magic of movies is a magic that can't be replicated. Seeing a movie in a theater with a huge audience and experiencing every emotion together is a unique and awesome experience. Lately, there's been something about the movies that don't feel the same anymore. It's like every movie is the same and no movie blows you away like it once did. It's a depressing realization
