IR Film Review: MASTERS OF THE THE UNIVERSE [Amazon MGM Studios]
When one thinks of He-Man, it definitely needs to be 80s strong. The new “Master Of The Universe” leans into this with varying degrees of success. It seems to want to emulate 1980's "Flash Gordon" even down to the Brian May’s guitar solos since Queen did that score. But this is a different film and a different time. The camp of that 1980s film worked well but Flash was different than Adam here who seems to be too woke.
IR Film Review: THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING [MGM/UA]
The conception of existence and the relevance in reflection of solitude in an interesting conundrum of "Three Thousand Years Of Longing", the latest from director George Miller. His first outing since "Mad Max: Fury Road" and before he started on its prequel "Furiosa" in an interesting mixture of elements.
IR Film Review: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 [Paramount]

IR Film Review: THE SUICIDE SQUAD [Warner Brothers]
The rules of a comic book movie rule in the eyes of the beholder. Writer/Director James Gunn got to go in a different grid making "The Suicide Squad" but it feels more like his indie movies at times than "Guardians Of The Galaxy".
IR Film Review: CATS [Universal]
“Cats” wants to be and about something but it just doesn't know what. Like many of Universal's films in the past it is a big swing that inherently doesn't work save for some inspired moments.
