Movie Review: “Alien: Romulus”

| |

By: Bob Garver “Alien: Romulus” started out at a disadvantage with me because I haven’t liked any of the “Alien” films that came before it.

Movie Review: “Deadpool & Wolverine”

| |

By: Bob Garver If nothing else, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is Disney taking a victory lap for acquiring 20th Century Fox and the Marvel properties it controlled. We got a taste of this last year in “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” when the advertising bragged about bringing in Patrick Stewart’s Professor X from the…
