Rachel Review: “The Eternals” tackles too much and fails
As Marvel continues its Phase Four series, they are expanding their universe fast. It has all been exciting, until now. On Friday, “The Eternals” was finally released to the public and has led to controversy and poor responses. The Eternals is about an alien race called Eternals and their mission on Earth. Their mission is […]
Rachel Review: “Army of Thieves” has fewer zombies but more screams
If you watched Zack Snyder’s zombie movie back in May titled “Army of the Dead” and couldn’t wait for more, well, Netflix delivered for once and quickly released a prequel following the standout character, Ludwig Dieter, in his own film, “Army of Thieves.” To expand this new zombie universe, we go back to see the […]
Rachel Review: “Dune,” confusing enough to watch
On Friday, “Dune” was released in theaters and for streaming on HBO Max released. It stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Jason Momoa. The film “Dune” follows Chalamet’s character Paul and his family, the House of Atreides, which has been selected to take control over a planet that holds the resource for the main source of […]
Rachel Review: Venom, save dessert for the end
“Venom: Let There Be Carnage” was released Oct. 1 and didn’t fail to deliver the same experience as it had done in the first installment. Because this is the second movie, there will be some vague spoilers ahead. This second installment follows Eddie Brock and Venom struggling to live life peacefully together. In the midst […]
Rachel Review: Chicago Party Aunt fails to stand out
Netflix and adult animated comedy is a mixed bag. There are shows like “BoJack Horseman” that are groundbreaking, and then there are shows like “Big Mouth” which leave everyone questioning if it really should have been animated. Both are watchable and memorable, but with Netflix’s new show “Chicago Party Aunt,” there is barely any real […]

Marvel’s new movie “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” opened Sept. 3, reviving the energy of Marvel’s phase four plan and setting a new standard for the upcoming Marvel movies. Simu Liu shines in his Marvel debut as the lead Shang-Chi. Liu showed he has what it takes to be Marvel’s new top […]
Rachel Review: “The Chair” is a comfortable sit
Most workplace comedies are targeted toward a younger audience, but what I appreciate about Netflix’s new show “The Chair” is that it doesn’t overcomplicate itself with excessive storylines. The everyday humor added into it makes for a great comedic drama that works for a variety of different audiences. “The Chair” stars Sandra Oh as Ji-Yoon, […]
Rachel Review: Oscar Thoughts and Predictions
Even though there were fewer films and movies released in 2020 due to COVID-19, the academy still had enough to make good nominations for all their categories. In other words, thank God for Netflix. The Oscar nominations for Best Picture are “Minari,” “Mank,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “A Promising Young Woman,” “The Sound of […]
Rachel Review: “Thunder Force” does not bring the thunder
Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone recently released another one of their lazy movies to Netflix, and sadly, they brought Octavia Spencer into this project as well. Despite the movie being named “Thunder Force” there was no drive in it. The movie follows two estranged best friends who come together as a superhero duo […]
Rachel Review: Concrete Cowboys, Unexpected Gem
I personally feel like while I was growing up, from 2008-2012, there were so many horse movies about a girl either trying to keep the family farm or someone who wanted nothing to do with the horse becomes the only person the horse trusts. They were all the same and I was glad they weren’t […]
