Well, here we are. After 6 years, the Venom trilogy has come to a close... for now. Venom: The Last Dance has now hit theaters worldwide and for a long time, I have been very open that I am a big fan of these films because they're just fun! I've also always been a big Tom Hardy fan and these movies just really let him off the leash. As a huge Spide…

The latest lego movie - Piece by Piece - that is for some reason a story about the life of Pharrell Williams has hit theaters in the US and will have a bit of a slow theatrical rollout globally over the next few months.​ I was lucky enough to see the film just a little early thanks to the BFI London FIlm Festival which just wrapped up, with this fi…

In today's review, we'll be discussing We Live in Time, the Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh romantic drama that had its limited debut last week and has had a very slow rollout into wider markets. This movie cam…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here. Today, I am going to be reviewing DreamWorks' critically acclaimed film The Wild Robot.

Hey everyone, it's time to review one of the most hyped up movies of 2024: Sean Baker's Anora. I think Sean Baker is a very talented filmmaker and ever since Cannes five months ago, Anora has been said by awards pundits to be one of the must-watch films of 2024. Well, they weren't kidding. I'm very curious to see how it catches on with the general …

Hey everyone, Steve McQueen - director of 12 Years a Slave - has a new film coming out in Blitz.

So, is Blitz …

Well, here we.... go! Joker: Folie à Deux - the sequel to the polarizing but smash hit Joker - has now hit theaters. it's not secret at this point that Todd Phillips and his team had no intention of making a sequel to the first film but Academy Awards, including one for Joaquin Phoenix himself, and a billion-dollar box office run started to turn so…

Hey everyone, the latest action-thriller from Netflix - Rebel Ridge - hit the platform just a few days ago and it's garnered up quite a bit of chatter online.

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the follow-up to the Tim Burton classic 'Beetlejuice', has now hit theaters worldwide. To be honest, I only saw the first Beetlejuice for the first time last week and while I somewhat enjoyed it, it's by no means a formative film for me like for so many of …

Hey everyone, what was that?! The first official teaser for A Minecraft Movie, the first feature adaptation of the legendary and popular video game, was released by WB a few hours ago and… well, huh?

Hey everyone, the latest attempt to revive the Terminator franchise - the Netflix anime Terminator Zero - has arrived.

Therefore, I will always be interested in what thi…

In this episode, I'll be breaking down all the news about…

Hey Sonic fans, at long last, the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has dropped online. I'd be lying if I said I was a huge mega-fan of Sonic, the games or these movies, but I've enjoyed them enough as fun kids movies. For some of you all though, I know how much you love these movies so as a casual fan, I wanted to step in and share my initial…

It has been a long wait to get an official, major update regarding this highly-anticipated fourth entry, which is also the sequel to one of the biggest movies of all-time - Spider-Man: No Way Home. Some want more Tobey & Andrew while others want …

Hey everybody, Inside Out 2 - the biggest box-office film of 2024 so far - arrived on digital platforms for home viewing this past week. Because of its incredible success at the box-office, I thought it would be fun to celebrate its unique medium of telling stories: ANIMATION. I, like all of you, have been watching and loving animated movies since …

Last week, Deadpool & Wolverine became the latest movie to join the so coveted billion-dollar club. It is the 55th film to make $1 billion dollars at the worldwide box office and the 8th to do so that has been released in the 2020s. With unforeseen circumstances like COVID and the Hollywood strikes of 2023, this decade got off to a bit of a slow st…

Hello, my fellow Alien fans. Alien: Romulus has now hit theaters! This is easily one of the most hotly anticipated films of the year because of its franchise throwbacks and its very talented horror director, Fede Álvarez. The reactions to this movie have been interesting, particularly surrounding a few very surprising decisions made in the back hal…

Hey everyone, Alien: Romulus has now been out in theaters for a few days and, surprisingly enough, I actually have a few spoiler moments I want to discuss in more detail in this film. This won’t be a full play-by-play like my spoiler review for Deadpool & Wolverine but rather just touching on a few moments that are worth discussing that couldn’t re…

Hey everyone, one of my most anticipated movies of the year - Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus - has now hit theaters. It is obviously the premier theatrical release of August and it's a film I was very excited for because I love the first two Alien movies but I'm also a big fan of Fede's horror movies. The trailers looked VERY promising and after the…

Hey everyone, The Umbrella Academy is back with its latest and final season. Overall, I think this show has been a bit of a mixed bag, with some AMAZING moments and characters but some very messy storytelling. That, in my opinion, has been pretty consistent over all three of the previous seasons. Well, the show has now wrapped, with season 4 droppi…

Hey everyone, the latest video game adaptation - Borderlands - has been released in theaters. I have never really had much interest in the games but from reading the premise, I always thought a movie adaptation could be fun. That being said, the behind the scenes nightmare that we've heard this film turned into and the constant delays (the movie BE…

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing better than I am because I just wasted 3 hours and 20+ minutes watching the Director’s Cut of Rebel Moon - Part 1, which has now been retitled ‘Chapter One: Chalice of Blood’ for this release. I was on record as hating Part 2 of Rebel Moon back in April but I was one of the rare few who actually dug the first p…

Hey everyone, M. Night Shyamalan is back! While I have not been a big fan of his work in recent years (since Split), it is undeniable that he makes some of the more interesting movies out there and I always appreciate going to see his movies in theaters. Trap seemed like a great concept which is why it was one of my most anticipated movies of the b…

Hey everyone, Marvel Studios’s SDCC panel for 2024 has now come and gone… and we, of course, have tons of new details from their upcoming projects to discuss. However, most of it - I thought - was pretty superfluous and felt like a lot of information that didn’t really mean much in the long run. There were some awesome details such as learning we’l…

I’ve had the chance to see it twice now so it’s time we break down this entire film and all the plot points, crazy appearances & references and characters moments.

Hey everyone, my most anticipated movie of the year (as I'm sure it is for most of you as well) - DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE - has finally released! The Fox X-Men franchise has a very special place in my heart: it's arguably the movie franchise that got me into nerdy comic book and superhero stuff on a deeper level in the first place, despite how much I …

Hey everyone, the first 5 episodes of Cobra Kai season 6 have dropped on Netflix! I, of course, love this show and apparently you all LOVE hearing me talk about it so I’m definitely excited for it to be back. That being said, I didn’t love season 5 and I feel like the general hype for season 6 just hasn’t really been there due to a lack of promotio…

Hey everyone, the latest Star Wars show - The Acolyte - has now wrapped up on Disney+ and oh boy, listening to the discourse around this show for the last 7 weeks or so has been a nightmare. I’m so glad it’s over… finally! That being said, I did want to give my thought on the whole show considering I didn’t review any episode since the first two. S…

Hey everyone, Twisters - the "sequel" to one of the quintessential summer blockbusters of all-time, Twister - has hit theaters... a week early here! This is a film that I was heavily anticipating because the first film is a blast, the trailers looked fun and it was being directed by Lee Isaac Chung, who directed Minari. Oh, and I love the cast. I w…

Are you not entertained?! The first official trailer at Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gladiator II, the sequel to his best picture winning film, has not arrived from Paramount. This is, without question, one of my most anticipated films of the rest of the year because the first Gladiator is probably one of the greatest films ever made. However, Ridley Sc…

Hello, everybody! Despicable Me 4, a movie that, to say the least, I have not been all that excited for, has now hit theaters. I have not been a fan of any of the films in this franchise since 2013's Despicable Me 2, however I am an OG fan of this franchise who's been there since the first one came out. Despicable Me 4 is shaping up to be one of th…

Make sure to let me know what your most anticipated movie of the …

Hey everyone, one of my most anticipated movies of summer 2024 - A Quiet Place: Day One - has now hit theaters. This is, of course, the spin-off of the two excellent John Krasinski directed A Quiet Place films that featured the Abbott family. The opening scene of A Quiet Place Part II featured a hint of what DAY ONE was in a small town but this mov…

Hey everyone, Pixar's Inside Out 2 has only been out in theaters for about a week and a half and it's already the biggest box office film of 2024! After the summer started off with a few whimpers, critically and financially, it seems this summer (for the movies) has started to turn around for the better... at least in terms of box office. After wee…

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review! Inside Out 2, the sequel to one of the most celebrated films Pixar (a FANTASTIC studio) has ever put out, has now hit theaters but the hype for this one just hasn't been there. I was looking forward to it and was very curious about what Pixar had to say about emotions during our teenage years as opposed…

It has been playing on Netflix in most markets for over a week now but that wasn't the case in my corner of the world where we're getting a full theatrical release. As a HUGE Linklater and Glen Powel…

Hey everyone, the fourth Bad Boys film - Bad Boys: Ride or Die - has hit theaters globally. I only got into this franchise a couple of years ago and admittedly, I am not really a super fan of the Bad Boys films like I am for some of my favorite action franchises like Mission: Impossible. That being said, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's chemistry a…

Hey everybody, season 1 of the SPECTACULAR X-Men '97 has wrapped up its run on Disney+. have been EAGERLY awaiting covering the remainder of the season ever since I reviewed the first two episodes and how much I just LOVED them.

Hey everyone, the series premiere (first two episodes) of the latest Star Wars series ‘The Acolyte’ has dropped on Disney+.

Welcome back to another episode of MOVIE Morning as we discuss the first trailer for Sony and Marvel’s upcoming VENOM: THE LAST DANCE, the movie that seems to be Tom Hardy’s swan song playing this character. What I have I just witnessed? Rumors about the plot for this third entry have been circulating for a year now but now seeing the trailer, it’s…

Hey everyone... Garfield returns to the big screen in a new animated adaptation! The Garfield Movie is the latest summer 2024 blockbuster but one of the first to be directly aimed at kids so it's going to be interesting to see how the box office shapes up for this film over the next couple of weeks. While I was pretty big on reading Garfield comics…

Oh, what a day. What a lovely day! Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - one of my absolute most anticipated movies of the entire year, let alone the summer movie season - has hit theaters. Straight from the mind of mastermind George Miller, Furiosa is the prequel to the universally beloved Mad Max: Fury Road, one of the greatest action movies ever made. I hav…

Hey everyone, John Krasinski's latest film 'IF' has hit theaters globally! I absolutely LOVED his two 'A Quiet Place' films and I love that, instead of continuing in his sandbox, he Krasinski decided to do something wildly different for his next film: what he has called a film for his kids. So, is IF the charming (and tearjerking) family event of t…
