Logan	2017	98	1	(full review) - After the early press screening of LOGAN, I once again joined some of The Black Tribbles in an episode of

X-Men: Days of Future Past	2014	97	2	(full review)
Avengers: Age of Ultron	2015	93	6	(full review) - AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON allows for more than just action sequence after action sequence. Although those are great too, particularly Iron Man trying to tame one of The Hulk's out of control rampages, but what makes the movie really work is the exploration of the character's relationships, interactions, trusts, mistrusts, powers, and weaknesses.
Ex Machina	2015	93	6	(full review) - Ex Machina takes place entirely inside Nathan's minimalist, luxury compound which sets a tension of danger for Caleb who is not free to leave until the helicopter scheduled to return in 7 days comes for him. The script is also quite clever when it comes to keeping the audience guessing on the motives of each character, many mind games being played...

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse	2023	88	8	(full review)
The Martian	2015	88	8	(full review) - I got to attend a panel discussion to promote The Martian in Philly at Fels Planetarium at the Franklin Institute moderated by Chief Astronomer Derrick Pitts. The participants: were two cast members from The Martian, Sebastian Stan (Mars crew) & Mackenzie Davis (Mission Control), retired NASA astronaut, Nicole Stott and Dr. Jim "Mr. Mars" Green - Director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA, also the film's consultant, and lead scientist on the announcement this past week on the discovery of streaks of water on Mars.
The Marvels	2023	88	8	(full review)
Captain America: Civil War	2016	84	13	(full review) - Most of the movie is very serious minded except for humorous battles scene which pits Avenger against Avenger, yet loving these characters as I do, it's actually the hardest part to take.
Asteroid City	2023	80	14	(full review)
Blue Beetle	2023	80	14	(full review)
Jurassic World	2015	80	14	(full review) - Not quite as humorous as "Jurassic Park", a close second to "The Lost World: Jurrasic Park", and a little better than "Jurassic Park 3".

The Matrix Resurrections	2021	80	14	(full review)
Ant-Man	2015	75	20	(full review) - Anyway, instead Scott goes to live with former inmate, wine tasting/impressionist art loving Luis (Michael Peña) it's through Luis' (humorously orchestrated) Latino network of "associates" that Scott learns of an old rich guy with a safe in his basement...
Avatar: The Way of Water	2022	75	20	(full review)
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3	2023	75	20	(full review)
Ice Age: Collision Course	2016	75	20	(full review) - This was my first intro to the Ice Age franchise. My favorite scenes are The non-verbal acorn antics of Scrat in space. But I liked the overall message of resilience, the movie shows that even when forces seem beyond your control, you should keep moving forward, cause there's always hope!
After Yang	2022	70	24	(full review)
Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, The	2014	70	24	(full review) - For me, The Hunger Games is an alright movie franchise, it probably would hold even less appeal for me if I didn't like Jennifer Lawrence so much - she's got a quality that's part girl from the wrong side of the tracks, without cheap skin or hair; she seems sensible and mature, and at the same time, fun and fresh; she's got edge without the apathy of a Kristen Stewart. In other words, she has the presence to carry off a movie that's mostly production and atmosphere.
Fantastic Four	2015	65.6	26	(full review) - Yes, the movie is three parts build up/origins story, it does take a long time before they get or use their powers, but it's not boring or badly handled. It sets out to establish the team as friends and family, while attempting to make the Quantum Physics plausible and relatable. The thing that is missing from the movie is the trademark Marvel, laugh out loud humor.
Jules	2023	61	27	(full review)
Insurgent: The Divergent Series	2015	56.6	28	(full review) - By Tinsel & Tine By Blog Contrib Candace Cordelia Smith Also check out my video interview with Mekhi Phifer! - Insurgent was made for those who plowed through the Divergent literary series months in advance, including the Four prequel, and others just curious to understand the hype that surrounds it. Some consider The Divergent Series a weak knockoff of The Hunger Games. I refute this. Both Beatrice Prior and Katniss Everdeen can live on in the recesses of our minds as formidable, female, fictional protagonists, surviving a Dystopian existence, and for that, I have welcomed the two with open arms.
Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, The	2015	50	29	(full review) - Katniss is hospitalized 3 times in this one movie and never does it advance the plot. I will say the scenes leading to the climax were pretty exciting as a small contingency, including Katniss, still slightly brainwashed Peeta, Gale, Finnick and a few others
Jupiter Ascending	2015	47.6	30	(full review) - A big theme of the movie is reincarnation or what is referred to as a "Re-Occurrence". Now, I know most of us don't remember our past lives, but when it's a major theme in a movie, you'd think some memory association would be a part of the character - that's not being cliched, it's just necessary.
Man of Steel	2013	47.6	30	(full review) - This Superman Reboot, Man of Steel produced by Christopher Nolan, and scripted by David S. Goyer, directed by Zack Snyder embodies all of these essential elements with an emphasis on the alien part of things. The first perhaps 20 minutes of the film is spent on Krypton with Kal-El's parents Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer), just hours before the complete destruction of the planet. They've just given birth to their son the old-fashioned way, where everyone else on Krypton is genetically engineered in pods to be whatever they are engineered to be, without choice.
Morgan	2016	44	32	(full review) - Kate Mara has always been an actress I gravitate to, and I have no complaints about her performance as an uber professional, who carries out her job with perfunctory effort; but somehow I feel the part would have been suited better for her colder, resting bitchface sister, Rooney Mara. Basically, Morgan starts out as a film which explores what makes us human and switches to a slasher flick of who will be the last person standing.
