Star Trek: Section 31: Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. With Michelle Yeoh, Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson, Robert Kazinsky. In Star Trek: Section 31, Emperor Philippa Georgiou joins a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, and must face the sins of her past. There’s a couple soundtrack elements that remind me of the Borg themes from First Contact, which was a vastly superior film. Also, quick question, at the beginning of the film, when the evil Terrans beam down, there’s like a thousand people there that stretch about a half mile back. can they even hear...

Captain America: Brave New World: Directed by Julius Onah. With Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas. Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, finds himself in the middle of an international incident and must discover the motive behind a nefarious global plan. I have it on blue rays now! It’s a pretty film that missed a couple cool opportunities to be cooler and didn’t stick the landing in the 3rd act. I was ultimately satisfied, but imagine what could have been! Buy On Amazon!

Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Directed by Jeff Fowler. With Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before. With their abilities outmatched, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance. I got this for free by signing up for a chicken nugget newsletter and they still haven’t sent me a single email yet. Sonic 3 isn’t as good as the first two, but is still good enough that I’m happy I own this due to my corporate spam sellout....

Pom Poko: Directed by Isao Takahata. With Shinchô Kokontei, Makoto Nonomura, Yuriko Ishida, Norihei Miki. A community of magical shape-shifting raccoon dogs struggle to prevent their forest home from being destroyed by urban development. “Raccoon dogs” are not “racoons” as I understand them, but after a quick wikipedia journey 15 links deep, I remembered that I was watching a movie and got back to this delightful yet depressing story of animals being killed in humanity’s quest for more space. This is mostly a cute story about loveable shapeshifting creature trying to find their way in an increasingly dangerous world, but...

Superman: Directed by James Gunn. With David Corenswet, Alan Tudyk, Grace Chan, Bradley Cooper. Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned. I got to experience this the same day that I traveled from Florida to Pennsylvania with a day that started at 3am and this showing was at 10pm at an AMC PRIME theater, which was a first for me. The seats were heated, they reclined all the way down...
