"Project Hail Mary" Didn’t Take Off
With a quirky outline, Project Hail Mary stays within the bounds of human language and imperial fantasy.

Life may find a way, but is it worth testing its fierceness and how far it will go?
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
Starring Jake Gyllenhall and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, 'Ambulance' is a film not only about a bank heist gone wrong, but also about brotherhood.
A smashing sequel to the first Sonic the Hedgehog film that also brings back elements from the popular video game series.
'Jungle Cruise' is fun if you can ignore the racism of the ride it’s based on and the film’s bland, stereotypical characters.
After the 2018 surprising hit "A Quiet Place" brought something fresh to the horror genre, the announcement of a sequel may have been disappointing to some. A lot of the time, a sequel to an already successful movie is no where near as good as the original. Yet, John Krasinski once again shows that he's much more than Jim from The Office.
"Abominable" is an exciting story for children and a great step forward for positive Asian representation.
"Godzilla vs. Kong" is all style and very little substance. It's also the most fun I've had in months.
The latest MonsterVerse film delivers everything it promised.
Sonic is a pretty generic buddy comedy with a light dusting of eccentricity.
