"Superman" (2025) Film Review-Up, Up, and, sadly, mostly falls away
If I had truly wished to witness "Guardians of the Galaxy", I would have stayed home to do so. Instead, I went to the IMAX and took in this newest incarnation of one of the most recognized and adapted superheroes in the DC Universe. **Sigh** Let me be clear here. I am NOT saying this is an AWFUL film. But, I think the degree of overall disappointment I felt after it was over still lingers, and it is giving me serious hesitations about the future of the James Gunn-led DC films.
For this critic, my personal choice for what I consider the definitive Superman film was 2013's "Man of Steel" featuring Henry Cavill as the titular character, who is also my overall favorite choice of actors to date. Now, granted, while that film was dark, it still painted such a vividly striking portrait of the character, what he strives to stand for, and conveyed a grander mood that I believe befits the Superman for our times.

Stop Whatever You’re Doing and Go Watch 'Two Distant Strangers'
Two Distant Strangers (2020) centers around Carter James (Joey Bada$$) as he tries to get back home to his pitbull, Jeter, after spending a night at the apartment of his date Perri (Zaria Simone). What gets in the way of Carter reuniting with his dog is that every time he tries to leave Perri’s apartment, he is killed by police and wakes up back in her bed in a never-ending cycle. It addresses the issue of police brutality which rightly has been in the public eye more and more with the unjust deaths caused at the hands of law enforcement.
