Tom Hanks plays Richard Young and Robin Wright plays Margaret, his wife, in "Here," a film showcasing a multitude of tales that happened in one location across time.

‘Here’ reeks of missed potential with underdeveloped ideas and wasted set design

By Will Caron, Contributing Writer November 12, 2024
“Here” was released by SONY Pictures on Nov. 1 to resounding indifference. This film marks the return of Robert Zemeckis, director of “Forrest Gump” and “Back to the Future.” It also serves as the long-awaited on-screen reunion of Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. “Here” had all the makings to be great, yet fails in all the places that count. The film’s concept is simple. The camera never moves. This concept, while interesting, proved difficult in execution for a feature-length film. Despite this, the film has its merits and utilizes its premise to the fullest –– albeit quite dragged out –– potential.
Eddie Brock and Venom returned to theaters in “Venom: The Last Dance," the final installment in director Kelly Marcel's trilogy following the symbiotic alien duo's journey as anti-heroes.

Venom and Eddie’s last dance is a chaotic send-off

By Will Caron, Contributing Writer October 30, 2024
“Venom: The Last Dance” was released Thursday, Oct. 24 by Sony Pictures. Serving as director Kelly Marcel’s final installment in the Venom franchise, “The Last Dance” was tasked with saying goodbye to audiences’ favorite symbiotic alien duo crisply and satisfyingly, while still keeping the pure ridiculousness the franchise is known for at its core. In this department, “Venom: The Last Dance” succeeds. While this movie does not particularly innovate or change the game, Tom Hardy delivers a fun final performance as both reporter Eddie Brock and Venom, an evil alien turned Eddie’s soulmate.
Dakota Johnson plays Cassandra Webb, a New York City paramedic who develops the ability to see into the future after a near-death experience.

‘Madame Web’ is a sticky mess of a story waiting to be told

By Mariana Contreras, Assistant Life & Culture Editor February 20, 2024
Despite the low bar set by its predecessors “Morbius” and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “Madame Web” somehow is an even more underwhelming spin-off to the Sony Spider-Man-adjacent universe. Despite its well-known cast of talent and award-winning director S.J. Clarkson, there is little to nothing that can be actually saved in this film.
"Venom" is the newest paper-thin take on the legendary Spiderman villain.

Review: ‘Venom’ refuses to evolve past paper-thin premise

By Antonio Ferme, Staff Writer October 21, 2018
Laughter was the only medication to help get through this littered atrocity of a film.
