Wicked: For Good
(2025)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
In a world where the true good is muffled and the performative good is promoted, it’s a true political slight of hand fit for the times.

Jurassic World Rebirth
(2025)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
"Jurassic World Rebirth is predictable and carries a nostalgic familiarity. There are glimpses of brilliance followed by segments of mundanity. Enter at your own risk."

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
(2025)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
The Final Reckoning feels is a broken mirror that slowly comes together, shard by shard. It’s the fun of trying to put the pieces together...that makes a movie like this worth seeing in theaters!

Sonic the Hedgehog 3
(2024)
|
Kevin Sampson

...Sonic The Hedgehog 3 has it’s footing. It’s full camp. It’s a genre buffet that focuses more on its vignettes than answering plot hole questions. It just might be the most fun you’ll have in theaters with your family this holiday season!

Gladiator II
(2024)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
Nostalgia is another character that interweaves itself in this storyline. It makes the film a popcorn blockbuster that will pass the time, but I’m not sure it will stand the test of time as a classic like Gladiator.

The Union
(2024)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
The Union puts Netflix’s flex of money on display. It has the locations, A-list stars and action set pieces! However, don’t let the glitz and glam fool you, this movie can’t buy a heart or soul to make it the espionage comedy it wants to be.

Inside Out 2
(2024)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
Inside Out 2 is a winner because it’s thought provoking in addressing how the coming of age passage can be difficult, awkward and beautiful all at once!

Madame Web
(2024)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
Alfred Hitchcock said “To make a great film you need three things- the script, the script, and the script”. Madame Web is the perfect example of what happens when those three things are missing.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
(2023)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
The dialogue and comedic punch lines feel so paint-by-numbers, you’d be hard-pressed to laugh when the music dies down just enough for them to stick the line.

Creed III
(2023)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
This is a by-the-numbers Creed movie, infused with intimacy and originality that makes the film stand out. You get what you would expect but it continually strives to slip the predictable as well.

Top Gun: Maverick
(2022)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
We want the thrill of suspense, to root for characters, to be in awe of cinematography, and to share the collective experience of unity in watching a film with strangers.This movie gives you that and more!

Senior Year
(2022)

Kevin Sampson

There have been plenty of child stuck in an adult’s body movies...It may follow the cookie cut examples of others, but its sweet messages are buried under so many cringeworthy moments.

Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank
(2022)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
It’s riddled with fart jokes and sophomoric humor, while also having witty lines that you need to pay attention to catch. It’s this strange in between that makes this movie memorable and forgettable at the same time.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
(2022)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
You can hear a pin drop in the first five minutes of Wakanda Forever. It’s intense and doesn’t let go of wrestling with loss, the cycle of violence and how we respond to it all throughout its running time. Even with that, this film is a vibe!

The Menu
(2022)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
The visually intimate and beautiful set, slowly turns into a claustrophobic and horrifying space. This is definitely worth the price of admission! Just remember to tip your waiter.

M3GAN
(2022)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
The memes that have come from the trailer alone have been enough to have M3GAN ascend to memorable villain status. However, the film itself is a paint by numbers horror movie that, unlike its robotic star, doesn’t have the same amount of life and punch!

Nope
(2022)
|
Kevin Sampson
|
Nope establishes Jordan Peele as an auteur, with a unique perspective in telling stories cinematically! Don’t worry folks, if you think you saw the movie in the final trailers, you don’t know what you’re in for.
