What’s new, everyone? The last time that the Marvel Cinematic Universe released a movie starring an all-new superhero was 2019’s Captain Marvel. Now we’ve got Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which debuts another superhero in the form of Shaun/Shang-Chi himself (Simu Liu, Netflix’s Kim’s Convenience). Starting out as a San Francisco parking valet, he ends … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

My 2 Cents on Apple TV+’s Finch
What’s new, everyone? Apple TV+ has just dropped a movie that mixes WALL-E, Cast Away, Chappie, and Turner & Hooch while taking a route through the buddy road trip genre: Finch, the post-apocalyptic science-fiction flick starring Tom Hanks as eponymous inventor Finch Weinberg, who is trying to survive in a near-future world that was devastated by solar flares leaking through … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Apple TV+’s Finch
2 Cents Critic Podcast – Pixar’s Luca | Directed by Enrico Casarosa
Tune in for Arthur’s opinions on Luca, Pixar’s 24th film (but not before he momentarily digresses at the beginning to touch on his faulty Wi-Fi that had most likely been caused by the Pacific Northwest heat wave, followed by the matter of that garbage bag Bill Cosby being released from prison). Directed by Enrico Casarosa … Continue reading 2 Cents Critic Podcast – Pixar’s Luca | Directed by Enrico Casarosa
2 Cents Critic Podcast – Wonder Woman 1984 | Directed by Patty Jenkins
Tune in for Arthur’s review of Wonder Woman 1984, a movie that he desperately wanted to love to no avail.

My 2 Cents on Apple TV+’s CODA
What’s new, everyone? After premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival in January, CODA, the family film written and directed by Siân Heder (Netflix’s Tallulah), not only snagged the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award but was also acquired by Apple for $25 million.

My 2 Cents on Palm Springs
What’s new, readers? Are you still as shocked as I am that Rudy Giuliani reached into his fun factory in Borat 2? And that Jared Leto will return as the most-hated incarnation of the Joker in the Snyder Cut of Justice League? And that the election is coming up in ten days? I’ve said this over and … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Palm Springs
My 2 Cents on Interstellar
What’s new, readers? Travis Scott recently teased “The Plan,” his theme song for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. Obviously Nolan is a filmmaking genius, but it helps that he’s a marketing wizard too—casting Harry Styles in Dunkirk to draw in One Direction fans, dropping the Tenet trailer on Fortnite to catch the attention of gamers, and now his collaboration with Scott. The … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Interstellar
