    “Conclave” Review by Marcus Blake

    Conclave is one of the best movies of the year! I can confidently say that. Marked by The great performances of Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabel Rossellini, this film is a deliciously entertaining thriller that doesn’t shy away from the politics and corruption within the Catholic Church. But at the same time, offers hope about what religion should be in the modern world. Picking the new Pope is intriguing, to say the least, and I feel like there’s still a lot behind the scenes that people don’t know so of course it makes for a great story.…

    “Monster Summer” Review by Marcus Blake

    Ever since the Goonies came out nearly 40 years ago, we’ve been drawn to the misadventures of kids solving crimes and mysteries. But then again honestly Scooby-Doo kind of did that for us as well. It’s a great formula as evident in shows like Stranger Things so anytime somebody tries to copy that playbook, fans and critics are always a little skeptical. How can you capture lightning in a bottle twice? But Monster Summer starring Mel Gibson seems to do that In a B-Level movie that’s a lot more fun than it should be. Monster Summer is definitely Stranger Things…

    “The Apprentice” Review by Marcus Blake

    If you watch the Donald Trump movie, The Apprentice and feel like throwing up afterwards or you need to take a shower to get rid of that filthy feeling… those are the correct responses to the film. I’m not saying it’s a bad movie, but it will certainly make you hate Donald Trump even more! And he has a good reason for not wanting this film to come out right before the presidential election… It’s not going to make him look good! However, I have to applaud the performances of Sebastian Stan who plays a young Donald Trump and Jeremy…

    Interview with Valentina El Harizi | “Behind the Scenes” Review by Marcus Blake

    “A beautiful portrait of the trappings of screen addiction by a brilliant filmmaker whose name we will not be forgetting!”   Marcus Blake | That Nerd Show!!! It’s true that short films never get as much attention as feature films.  Often shown as a working concept, short films can show an audience all the possibilities of what would make a great story for a featured film. But every once in a while, I come across a short film that is so powerful in its message that it feels like I’m watching a poignant full-length movie. Valentina El Harizi’s, “Behind the Scenes”…

    “Borderlands” Film Review by Marcus Blake

    Borderlands is definitely made for a specific audience! It’s made for the gamers who have enjoyed the games from Gearbox games since 2009. That is not a bad thing for this movie definitely knows its audience, but for the average moviegoer, it will be confusing and feel like a very messy story! We’ll get to that in a moment! I admit that I am a big fan of the Borderlands games. I’ve played them all and I like this movie more than most critics, but I’m a gamer. I am the target audience for this movie and while it is…

    “Deadpool & Wolverine” Review by Marcus Blake

    If Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool truly is Marvel Jesus it’s because he’s made the best Marvel movie since Endgame while restoring our faith in the Marvel Universe and giving fans exactly what we want.  Then at the same time having the balls to make fun of Disney for putting out shitty content the last 5 years! Only Marvel Jesus can get away with that!  Is Deadpool  & Wolverine worth the hype… Absolutely! There’s no debate that the last 5 years since Avengers: Endgame has been dismal for the Marvel Universe. The movies haven’t been that good or their average at…

    “Twisters” Review by Marcus Blake

    Twisters is not a direct sequel to the original Twister movie from the ’90s, but it’s still kind of a fun movie to watch on the big screen and the epitome of a summer popcorn flick. Although, I admit that I wish it was a direct sequel and that we had a new generation of tornado chasers, but sadly, it’s just a typical weather disaster movie with non-stop action and main characters that look good on the screen, and without the gravitas of the original.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not bad-mouthing the movie and telling you not to…

    “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” Review by Marcus Blake

    They say you can’t capture light in a bottle twice or that you can’t capture the same old magic and that’s never been truer when it comes to movies. However, I think you can come close with just the right amount of nostalgia to make a sequel almost as good as its original. So, after 40 years since the original, we have Beverly Hills Cop 4! I didn’t think it was a good idea to make this movie especially since the third one that came out in 1994 wasn’t that good, but I have to say I’m completely shocked by…
