‘Wicked: For Good’ Review: More of a Political Thriller Than a Bubbly Musical (and That’s for the Better)

David PalmerLeave a comment

Looks like I will once again be spearheading the campaign to give the former Nickelodeon child star an Oscar. “Wicked: For Good” is the sequel to last year’s “Wicked,” and serves as the adaptation of the Broadway play’s second act. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande reprise their roles as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda… Continue reading ‘Wicked: For Good’ Review: More of a Political Thriller Than a Bubbly Musical (and That’s for the Better)

‘Wicked’ Review: Ariana Grande Casts a Spell in Broadway Adaptation

Color me shocked (or rather, green): a Broadway adaptation that wasn’t half bad! “Wicked” is based on the smash hit musical of the same name, and tells the origin story of Glinda the Good Witch (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West (Cynthia Ervio) before the events of “The Wizard of Oz.”… Continue reading ‘Wicked’ Review: Ariana Grande Casts a Spell in Broadway Adaptation

‘Jurassic World Dominion’ Review: Ultimately a Waste of Actors’ Talents and Audience’s Time

Well, at least this franchise is finally extinct! “Jurassic World Dominion” is the conclusion of the “Jurassic World” trilogy and sixth film of the “Jurassic Park” franchise. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard reprise their roles from the last two films, while Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill return from the original trilogy. Colin… Continue reading ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ Review: Ultimately a Waste of Actors’ Talents and Audience’s Time

‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Makes a Strong Case to Let this Franchise Go Extinct

To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum from the first “Jurassic Park” film: “the executives at Universal were so preoccupied with whether or not they could make a “Jurassic World” sequel, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” is the sequel to the 2015 blockbuster that confirmed Chris Pratt as a leading man… Continue reading ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Makes a Strong Case to Let this Franchise Go Extinct

For what it’s worth, this is the best of both the “Thor” trilogy and the recent Marvel entries. “Thor: Ragnarok” is the 17th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and features the God of Thunder Thor (Chris Hemsworth) needing to team up with his half-brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and a scavenger… Continue reading ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ is Solid Marvel Entertainment

‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ Is Laughably Atrocious

David Palmer2 Comments

Hahahahahahahahahah… [exhales] ok. Let’s do this. “Independence Day: Resurgence” is the sequel to 1996’s “Independence Day,” a film that exploded in popularity and has come to define pretty much everything about 90s action films and the summer blockbuster in general. The plot of this movie is: the aliens come back. That’s truly all that is… Continue reading ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ Is Laughably Atrocious
