As he did with Micheal Crichton's book Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg's take on Ernest Cline's best-selling novel, heavily deviate's from its source material but the spirit and themes are wonderfully intact.

Double Review: Annihilation & A Wrinkle in Time
What we have are a pretentious pair of science fiction proportions. Both involve the protagonist traveling in alien territory to discover what happened to their loved ones who came before them. A great director, an interesting premise, a good cast, and awesome trailers, it has the making of an excellent sci-fi adventure. I'm not expecting the next Star Wars but something that makes it re-watchable. Alas, this is not that day.

Double Review: Peter Rabbit & Early Man
Two films with British origins are aiming for family audiences. One is a beloved character from children's literature, the other is from a well-known animation production.
Black Panther Is Mighty as its King
It comes to my realization that my favorite superhero movies are the ones that I know little of their comic book origins. Like Doctor Strange, the only knowledge I had of of this Wakandan Warrior were in cartoons. There was also his incredible introduction in Captain America: Civil War and yet, I still had a vague idea of the character. Now that I have seen the solo outing from co-writer and director Ryan Coogler, is it too early to call Black Panther a superhero masterpiece?
