A montage to a Wimberley, Texas’ KWVH intro sets the tone for the next 200+ minutes to come. In as much as the documentary is about Simon’s work on his new album, it is also about the singer’s life. And yet, it’s possible that there’s a universe where Simon does not go into music. His father–a…

Godzilla and King Kong are back in action in a new adventure as they take to the screen in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. I’m gonna be honest. The release of this film comes way too soon following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. You and I both know how frequently buildings and infrastructure get destroyed during the course of these films. My screening came way too soon after hearing…

Testament: The Story of Moses does its best to give a thrilling recreation of the Exodus from Egypt but the docudrama has its flaws. What do The Ten Commandments, The Prince of Egypt, and Testament: The Story of Moses all have in common?
