The Childe
Reviews

The Childe is a wild ride filled with assassins, double crossing sociopaths, and the best smile in all of Korean entertainment

Marco (Kang Tae-Ju), A young Filipino-Korean man, is fighting underground muay thai bouts and taking less than wise snatch and grab jobs just so he can scrounge up enough funds to pay for his ailing mother’s surgery. His father was in the wind the moment he was born and despite a tireless search to find him, all paths led to dead ends… until now.

In Asteroid City a play’s the thing.

Asteroid City is Wes Anderson operating at the peak of his abilities and making a potent argument for his use of intricate artifice as a vessel for conveying deep sincerity.

Pixar’s Elemental is sweet, but relies on tired tropes and shallow storylines

As a young immigrant family the Lumens moved to the big city of Elemental. They were awed by this new place where fire, water, land and air all live together harmoniously… or so they thought. They quickly found it less than welcoming for fire elementals with the city seemingly built to accommodate water more than others, so they found a little neighborhood with other fires and settled there to open a local shop. Time flew by as their daughter Ember grew and it was a given, both in their actions and words, that she’d take over the family business when it came time. One day, an unexpected visitor brought along with him a crisis that threatened to shut down their mom and pop store, so Ember was hellbent on fixing it. In the process she found an unexpected friend in Wade, a water elemental, and discovered the big city was much more than it seemed.

The Flash messes with multiverses

The main question you have to ask yourself when deciding if you’re going see this movie is “Does seeing Michael Keaton put on the ol’ Batsuit and once again speak aloud an ad-libbed catchphrase justify spending more than two hours with multiple versions of Ezra Miller and some pretty substandard CGI?”

Spider-Man Takes an Unmissable Journey Across the Spider-Verse

There’s a point (two, actually) to this rather involved setup: One, make a good enough movie and superhero burnout becomes irrelevant; and Two, Into the Spider-Verse’s brand-new follow-up, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, sustains its predecessor’s hat trick and then some. Simply put, I can’t imagine a better, more thoroughly satisfying mainstream movie emerging this year.
