Scarlett Johansson in a compelling cyborg story. Not as inspiring as say, Robocop, but Scarlett sure makes for a cute robot, and they have set things up nicely for a sequel. Let’s see where this goes. |

Justice League isn’t a bad movie, contrary to the professional critics. While hardly a great movie, it is very good and a step above Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, its main forbear. At least, it’s very good fo…

The Force is with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, albeit weakly and episodically. Thus, this one-off Star Wars movie registers as a mildly tasty surprise while we endure the two year wait between major episodes. Rogue One tells the backstory of the Death Star, that ultimate weapon of mass de…
