Review: Marvel Studios’ ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ (dir. Destin Daniel Cretton)

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a blast from start to finish. Packed with action, drop in some drama and make it complete with comedy. This cast works so well together on screen with such chemistry, and they really elevate one another’s performance. Everything felt so fresh and unique in the best ways, and I think everyone will be pleased with different aspects of the movie.

Review + Super Soundtrack: “The Chair” on Netflix

Workplace, dramedy, and satire might seem like quite the hodge podge of words to describe one show, but they’re all accurate characteristics of “The Chair.”

Super Soundtrack + Review: “Modern Love” on Amazon Prime Video (Season 2)

Season 2 of “Modern Love” has premiered on Amazon Prime Video today, and it maintains that sense of charm we came to love with the first season. Pulling stories from essays in the New York Times column, there’s something about a thirty-minute slice-of-real-life that makes this stand out from the sea of streaming options. Showcasing love in all of its different forms is what has set this apart, and I’m happy to say that thread is consistent with this second season.

Review: ‘Annette’ (dir. Leos Carax)

Annette is here just in time to kick off another year of Adam Driver. Yes, Annette is a musical, but leave the Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen type of musicals out of your mind going into this.

Review: ‘The Green Knight’ (dir. David Lowery)

The Green Knight is a haunting and offbeat adaptation of King Arthur lore that comes together utilizing unparalleled and inventive cinematic techniques to form a gem of visuals and wonder. I feel that I could watch this five more times (I just might do it), and my appreciation for this film would only grow.

Review: ‘Stillwater’ (dir. Tom McCarthy)

Don’t be fooled by the trailer or some of the marketing for this movie. It isn’t an action movie, it’s a dramatic-crime-thriller, and it’s all the better for it. The unconventional nature of how this is set up is part of the appeal, refusing to follow an ABCDE structure and opting for a winding storyline that results in real answers.

Review + Super Soundtrack: ‘Joe Bell’ (dir. Reinaldo Marcus Green)

While it has a heartfelt message that tries really hard, that message falls flat. Combining elements of a road trip movie with a coming of age and an LGBTQ drama, it all starts to feel like a little much when you toss it all in the salad at once. Everyone’s heart was in the right place here.

Review + Super Soundtrack: ‘Old’ (dir. M. Night Shyamalan)

We all saw the commercial that premiered during the Super Bowl earlier this year (even though that already feels like years ago). With a phenomenal cast along with an instantly interesting premise, people (myself included) were excited to see what M. Night Shyamalan had up his sleeve for us this time.
