Geeks of Color

This is a moody and melancholic film, but one that successfully hits the emotional wallops it tees up.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Andrew J. Salazar

How its nostalgic elements will age remains to be seen, but what is for sure, we're going to be looking at the impact of No Way Home for a very long time.

The King's Man (2021)

In all, the film is a much more enjoyable installment than the second film and deeper than the first one. Fans of the franchise will need to come with an open mind to embrace the third film's more emotionally-ladened tone in order to enjoy it.

West Side Story (2021)

Legendary Academy Award winner, Rita Moreno, steals the movie with her presence and voice. It's awe-inspiring that she returned to fill a role that feels just as emotionally significant as when she played Anita in the original.

Encanto (2021)

Andres Cabrera

A cultural spectacle of music, magic, identity and the family spirit. This is a refreshing take on the traditional Disney animated musical.

Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021)

About halfway through my viewing of Clifford the Big Red Dog, I realized I was smiling that same unabashed, joyous smile I had on those precious Saturday mornings.

The Harder They Fall (2021)

The fantasy is made possible through rich set design, beautifully made costumes, solid action scenes and strong acting. Majors and Elba give well-rounded and emotional performances.

Halloween Kills (2021)

Unfortunately, Halloween Kills doesn't recreate the nightmarish magic that the 2018 film brought into the revamped franchise. A few gory moments and solid acting from a few do not cure the film's discombobulated plot progression.

Dune (2021)

Visually, Dune is one of the best-looking films that I've seen in recent memory.

There's Someone Inside Your House (2021)

There's Someone Inside Your House simply feels like a hollow and increasingly dull picture.

No Time To Die (2021)

Where previous Bond movies either leaned heavily into darker or more campy tones, Craig's final film as Bond merges both elements to create a character that feels entirely its own.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

Ultimately, the movie felt rushed. What was also lacking in the storyline, unfortunately, overshadowed some of the movie's better moments.

Dear Evan Hansen (2021)

Jonathan Rome

Even with its flaws, Dear Evan Hansen manages to be a heartfelt story encouraging us all to speak when times are tough, because we are not alone.

Candyman (2021)

DaCosta's Candyman is haunting, powerful and is another reminder that the racist sins of the past leave behind a legacy that still reverberates strongly today.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

It is a fantastic origin story that is very friendly for viewers like me with little to no existing Marvel knowledge. Overall, I found this movie to be a must-watch; better yet, I came out of this movie wanting to watch it again and again!

The Night House (2021)

A well-crafted, mysterious ghost story that manages to keep an audience of 21st-century horror fans entertained. This is not an easy feat.

Respect (2021)

Aretha Franklin gained adoration, acclaim, success, and most of all, the respect she deserved. This movie is a testament to that. A must-see of the summer. A must-see of this time.

Jungle Cruise (2021)

While the story is formulaic in terms of typical action-adventure tales, it really does shine with the chemistry between its leads.

The Green Knight (2021)

Sabrina Ramirez

Rich with stunning visuals and intoxicating pacing, it provides a surreal coming-of-age chivalric romance that sets it apart from any prior medieval adaptation.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

This film is a wild ride full of intense action scenes, hilarious dialogue, and characters dripping in charisma. If chaotic good were a movie, it would be this one.

Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (2021)

I can confidently say the movie is a step up from the previous two because it is the most grotesque, includes an intriguing twist, and hooks you enough to want to unravel this must-see mystery.

Posted Jul 26, 2021

Old (2021)

These elements don't break the movie, they break the storytelling. The source material, Sandcastle, is 112 pages. Stretching that material into two hours of film was undoubtedly hard, but maybe it shouldn't have been done in the first place.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)

Andrew J. Salazar

Snake Eyes is probably is the best G.I. Joe movie thus far, even if that isn't exactly the best compliment. We just have to hope the next film will have a sharpened focus, allowing for a smoother transition into the extravagant world of the Joes.

Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021)

If Fear Street Part One: 1994 is a love letter to Wes Craven's Scream... then Fear Street's middle chapter takes an effective stab at Stephen King horror and Friday the 13th.

The Tomorrow War (2021)

Its setup is more tedious than interesting and nearly all of its dialogue is exposition; even emotional moments are just characters explaining something that happened.

Posted Jul 9, 2021

Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021)

Fear Street is a bag of treats for movie fans! Even more so, it is the latest love letter to the horror genre while emphasizing a compelling portrait of bravery rooted in friendship and LGBTQ+ romance.

Black Widow (2021)

Black Widow is a thoroughly entertaining flick that is likely to please audiences with its action, wittiness, and great characters.

F9 (2021)

With cars defying physics, almost every character capable of martial arts, and numerous death-defying stunts, the goal of F9 is to live within the fantasy. If you can get behind that, then you're in for a wild ride.

Luca (2021)

With vibrant visuals, an amazing voice cast and important messages, Luca solidifies itself as one of DisneyPixar's best.

In the Heights (2021)

Andres Cabrera

That's what In the Heights is, "Latino Joy." A passionate celebration of Latino expression and identity. Filled with music styles of all different nations, Spanish is spoken freely, and unabashed pride in one's culture that's been long overlooked.

Posted Jun 11, 2021

Awake (2021)

Awake is much more than its world-ending concept alone. It's the story and emotions of the central, broken family that elevates the film beyond the usual genre trappings.

Cruella (2021)

Cruella had some memorable moments, however, it continues the trend of Disney's live-action movies not coming close to the magic that is captured in their animated counterparts.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

When you have an unlikely talent such as Chris Rock co-producing and co-writing with James Wan and Leigh Whannell, you don't necessarily expect something different, you expect more.

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

Directed and written by Taylor Sheridan, Those Who Wish Me Dead is a thrilling story with many moving parts that work well. Jolie is formidable as Hannah and this role reminds us once again that Jolie is a true action star.

These two characters probably won't meet again for another lifetime, but thankfully Godzilla vs Kong is good enough to make anyone want to savor every bit of this moment.

Tom & Jerry (2020)

Jonathan Rome

Tom & Jerry maintains the spirit of its franchise in this absolutely bonkers film about staying true to yourself and bringing people together (even if they want to drop an anvil on the others' head).

Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)

This movie had me laughing, crying, cheering all in a span of its 114-minute run. Even now, I get emotional just thinking about this movie, its message, and its impact.

Cherry (2021)

I never doubted Tom Holland's acting abilities, but this is easily his best performance yet. He plays the new, wary soldier just as effortlessly as he plays the junkie willing to do anything it takes to get his next high.

The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021)

Despite the familiarity in the film's execution and the unevenness, the performances from the cast shine the brightest. Andra Day puts her entire being into her portrayal of Holiday and doesn't miss a beat.

Nearly every aspect of the film is designed to make you feel nostalgic and excited to be on a fun, albeit childish, adventure. Anyone can enjoy this film.

Young Hearts (2021)

here's a genuine sense of familiar warmth throughout the film that's hard to describe -- it's almost like a time machine that makes you yearn for those youthful days again.

Posted Feb 16, 2021

Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021)

With a script from Wiig and Mumolo, the movie is zany and ridiculous, and yet, it completely works. There is a lot that is crammed into the film's funtime, with one nonsensical thing coming after another, but it's sure to keep you laughing.
