Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett, and Carla Gugino star in the action-comedy, GUNPOWDER MILKSHAKE streaming on Netflix. Despite the false advertising, the Netflix movie is Karen Gillan's movie with the other actresses showing up when some butt-kicking is needed. The film is a fun cross between JOHN WICK and KILL BILL.

SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY is more of a remake than a sequel with fancier graphics. Except in this follow-up, Don Cheadle is the MVP of this court rather than the star LeBron James. You get more of the same in his version with the Looney Tunes providing the laughs and over-the-top acting from the basketball star.

THE TOMORROW WAR is your average action movie with some great intense moments, but what makes the Chris Pratt movie worth watching is the alien monsters. The creature design is the most original and scariest alien in a long time. Pratt brings heart to the movie, and Sam Richardson steals the show as the comedic relief. After watching it for a second time on a massive screen, the communal experience is a much better viewing option.

What started out as a street-racing/heist movie has become something entirely different. The stunts grow increasingly more ludicrous and comical with every movie. There’s plenty of laughter throughout the movie, but is the audience laughing with them or at them?

The Loki series is not what you’d expect. The new Disney+ series is a time traveling crime thriller. The first two episodes are heavy on the exposition between Owen Wilson’s Mobius and Tom Hiddleston’s anti-hero, and light on the action but it is full of intrigue with a set up that’ll keep viewers tuned in.

CRUELLA is a pompous spectacle with a punk rock vibe. Every aspect of Disney’s origins story is outrageous but so much fun to revel in. The film is gorgeous to look at from the production design, the costumes, the cinematography and the hair/make-up to the delicious rivalry between Emma Stone and Emma Thompson. Everyone is a scene stealer including Cruella’s sidekicks Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry, and the dogs are best in show as well.

In A QUIET PLACE you can hear yourself and others chomping on popcorn because of the absence of sound and dialogue which made it unique and suspenseful. The sequel is a lot noisier but that’s not a bad thing.

All the action for Timur Bekmambetov's PROFILE relies solely on the interactions of two characters Skyping on a computer screen. The claustrophobic nature of the cat and mouse thriller adds to the intensity of the story, and seems even more fitting during the pandemic which has only heightened the use of the online medium to connect with friends, family and strangers.
