Movie Review: Project Hail Mary
4 stars out of 5I feel like I’m about to write a negative review. Which is crazy, because I liked this movie. Look, I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. The thing is, I wanted it to be great. This movie was promoted for such a very long time. Months and months. I was […]

Movie Review: A Poet
4.5 stars out of 5Thank goodness lead actor Ubeimar Rios wears a beard throughout this film, or else my fellow moviegoers might’ve thought I was him sneaking in for a screening.
