ANNIHILATION Writer/Director: Alex Garland Starring: Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez, Tuva Novotny, Oscar Isaac There will always be a debate as to whether you should read the book first before seeing the movie.

I almost think that’s an advantage going into this movie, as I had no idea what to expect or where it was going. Natalie Portman plays Lena, a biology professor at Johns Hopkins University. It’s been a year since her husband, Kane (Isaac), went missing while serving in the military.Read More →

Here we are again with another film in the franchise, but this is considered more of a spinoff as we follow the offspring of Apollo Creed, Carl Weathers’ character in the first four films. His son, Adonis (Jordan), never knew his father who died before he was born. As a young kid, he spent many years in juvie getting into fight after fight untilRead More →
