“The Matrix Resurrections,” and a Wachowski ranking
By Christian DiMartino So, I saw The Matrix Resurrections yesterday, and it’s a film I liked, but didn’t quite know what to write about. On one hand, what was enjoyable about it, was purely enjoyable. On another hand, over the last day I’ve had the itch to write about it but at the same time,…

Review: No Time to Die
After multiple changes in directors, multiple screenwriters and revisions, and a pandemic, not to mention perhaps an obnoxious amount of reviews on my end, Daniel Craig’s fifth and final Bond outing, No Time to Die, has arrived.

Review: In the Heart of the Sea
By Christian DiMartino Ron Howard is a great filmmaker. His career has been all over the place, but yet even the films that most hate, I end up enjoying. So it brings me true sadness to say that I didn’t exactly enjoy his latest film, In the Heart of the Sea. It isn’t necessarily bad, but…
