We may not be in 2002 anymore but the new 'Spider-Man' movie just dominated the box-office and Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have just gotten engaged again so we're close enough.

The much-needed albeit unplanned hiatus from Marvel Studios is paying off quite intensely with four MCU projects having debuted this year alone.

When it came to watching 'The Falcon and The Winter Soldier' every week, the show proved to be an entertaining and thrilling ride.

While the show does get its most … Continue reading ‘The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ Is Flawed But It Gets One Thing Right.
When you finish a movie, there's a chance you might not know how to feel about it. Maybe you needed time or even a rewatch.
