Venom: The Last Dance (2024)

Venom: The Last Dance (2024)

[5] The Venom trilogy stumbles in its finale, but it has some nice moments. Tom Hardy returns as journalist Eddie Brock, exiled to Mexico after events of the previous movie and still hosting Venom, a shapeshifting alien symbiote, in his…
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

[7] In this age of superhero fatigue, I was surprised to enjoy the first Venom movie so much. Color me equally surprised that they could pull off an entertaining sequel with Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Tom Hardy returns as…
Venom (2018)

Venom (2018)

[7] Tom Hardy stars as an investigative reporter who becomes the unwilling host body for a gloppy alien creature -- named Venom -- that gives him superhuman powers. At first the possession experience is scary, with Venom being very much…

Bronson (2008)

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

The Revenant (2015)

The Revenant (2015)

[8] Hot off his Best Director Oscar for Birdman, Alejandro González Iñárritu delivers another astonishing directorial effort. The Revenant is shot entirely outdoors with available lighting, capturing the story of an 1820s fur trader (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is viciously mauled…
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

[9] George Miller has stopped making talking pig and dancing penguin movies (Babe, Happy Feet) long enough to give us another installment in his seminal apocalyptic Mad Max series. The result is probably one of the greatest non-stop action movies…
