RAPID REVIEW- “Thor: Love and Thunder” Suffers from Its Own Director

Thor: Love and Thunder finds the Norse god at a major crossroads in his life. Without a battle to fight or love to follow, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is listless and lost. His ex-girlfriend, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) is inexplicably drawn to New Asgard during her own personal struggle and together they must battle a new threat who plans to murder all of the Gods.

See “Where the Crawdads Sing” Early & For Free (Reserved Seats)

If you’re a fan of the 2018 novel Where the Crawdads Sing, you were probably thrilled to learn that Reese Witherspoon’s production company was bringing it to the big screen. Covid threatened to sideline production but the film adaptation (starring Daisy Edgar-Jones) finally hits theaters July 15th. Even better, I have 5 pairs of passes to see it EARLY and FOR FREE on July 13th! These are reserved seats, meaning you won’t have to get there early and wait in line, so they will go quickly! Simply tell me who wrote Where the Crawdads Sing in the “Comments” below. The first 5 who answer correctly will score the tickets. Good luck everyone! Take a minute to watch the Where the Crawdads Sing trailer below and to hear Taylor Swift’s Carolina, which she wrote just for the film.

“Jurassic World Dominion” Review: This is NOT the Movie We Were Promised

The indisputable best part of 2018’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom came at the end, when dinosaurs ran amok in America. We watched as a T-Rex challenged a lion in a zoo, a Mososaurus went after surfers on a beach and our favorite raptor Blue gazed at a valley filled with homes, possibly speculating who to eat first. Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm even told a packed courtroom, “We’re gonna have to adjust to new threats that we can’t imagine. We’ve entered a new era. Welcome to Jurassic World!” 

It seemed that Jurassic World Dominion would finally fulfill Jurassic Park’s promise of uncontained dinosaurs but THAT’S NOT THE MOVIE WE’RE GIVEN, FOLKS.
