Review: Mortal Kombat (2021)

Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero in Warner Bros. Pictures' MORTAL KOMBAT

I don’t think me or anyone I know was expecting an amazing work of art from Mortal Kombat. As fans of the series, we just wanted this updated film adaptation to be relatively faithful to what the video games always have been. It sounds simple, but that’s something that seems to be pretty difficult for Hollywood to accomplish in the …

Gal Gadot stars in Warner Bros. Pictures' WONDER WOMAN 1984

I wasn’t a fan of the first Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot. Although it seemed like most loved it, I pretty much feel that it was a mediocre movie. And because they were bringing a lot of the same people back, I didn’t anticipate much from Wonder Woman 1984 either. In fact, I expected it to be worse. For …
