Venom has its ups and downs, but overall I really enjoyed the film, and hope they make a sequel.

Review: Annihilation
Rogue Hippo’s Review Score: 6 PLOT SUMMARY: Lena (Natalie Portman) is part of a team of scientists tasked with entering, and explaining, The Shimmer. The Shimmer is a continuously-expanding quarantine zone around the site of a meteor strike. On top of that, The Shimmer gradually alters the DNA of all who enter it; oh, and…
Review: Hostiles
Rogue Hippo’s Review Score: 5.5 I’m a big history fan so I expected to like Hostiles, a film about Army Captain Joseph Blocker (Christian Bale) tasked with escorting Native American Chief Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi) across miles of hostile territory so that Yellow Hawk can die in his homeland.

The Last Jedi: The Force Is Weak With This One
Rogue Hippo’s Review Score: 6.5 Haha! Get it? The force is weak with this one! Because usually, in Star Wars, they say; “The force is strong with this one.” But I used WEAK instead! I read a bunch of Last Jedi reviews and I can’t believe I haven’t seen this brilliantly clever line used yet! …
Justice League Review
Justice League pits five DC heroes against a divine bad guy. Luckily for the male gender, one of those heroes is portrayed by Gal Gadot!
Watch The Bad Batch on Netflix
FACT: I’m probably the world’s leading authority on Netflix shows. There’s no debating that. As the reigning King of Netflix, I now decree that you watch The Bad Batch. It needs to happen. I’m not even going to try to write a review of The Bad Batch because words cannot begin to accurately describe this…
Power Rangers Didn’t Suck!
Power Rangers is a fun family-friendly action flick with a surprising amount of character development.
