Independence Day
The movies we love as children tend to get a whole lot worse once not viewed through the rose colored glasses our childhoods bring. I was expecting that to be true of Independence Day, the hit 1996 sci-fi classic, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the movie still held up relatively well.
DetailsThe Tomorrow War
The basic premise is exciting and give a new twist to the “Time Travel” sci-fi genre. It is fun to watch, and the action scenes are intense. The aliens are frightening and creepy and the CGI is well done. The acting is excellent for an action movie with Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski and J.K. Simmons all turning out heart felt performances, although at times I think they go a bit over the top, and there are scenes that feel a bit forced in trying to get the audience to connect with characters instead of letting that happen naturally.

DetailsBatman: The Long Halloween Part 1
This is just my opinion, but I really don’t understand why Warner Bros and DC Entertainment, didn’t take some of these wonderful scripts and story arcs and use them for the DCEU movies. They are beautifully written and well performed, and the storylines are very cinematic with some stunning visuals.

DetailsCruella
The storyline for Cruella is basically The Devil Wears Prada on steroids. Both the Emmas are perfectly over the top in their portrayal of their characters. The only real problem is, Emma Thompson is a much more “Cruella” than Cruella actually is.
