Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Sherin Nicole

Spider-Man: No Way Home is the test of what it means to be a hero and what it costs...This movie has a heartbeat.

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

Sherin Nicole

Shang-Chi takes me back to the wuxia & other martial arts films I grew up with but also blends pop culture with Chinese mythology. It's a bit hodge-podge in parts but the cast is fab and the story ties in nicely to the larger MCU. Also Tony Leung forever.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

Sherin Nicole

Kaiju and mecha and retina sizzling action, for people like me that's a dopamine high.

To All The Boys: Always And Forever (2021)

Sherin Nicole

To All the Boys: Always and Forever is a nice way to wrap up the trilogy-very sweet with lots of growing pains-I give it a 'aww, ain't that sweet' rating. Fans of the series are going to enjoy it.

Minari (2020)

Sherin Nicole

A very gentle film about very real hardships...a decidedly American story.

Malcolm & Marie (2021)

Sherin Nicole

Shot like a 1950s thriller, Malcolm & Marie is a romantic duel about the spaces between lovers and how they are widened or filled up, depending on the lovers themselves and how allergic they are to the truth.

Outside the Wire (2021)

Sherin Nicole

Mackie and Idris play well off each other. The characters are well defined, which makes you feel good about taking this frenetic journey with them.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)

Sherin Nicole

Jingle Jangle is a dream come true. A gift of exuberant, original, Black joy - told through magic and music. And the fact we get it for Christmas rings all the bells. Hopefully it'll become a new holiday classic.

The Forty-Year-Old Version (2020)

Sherin Nicole

A very engaging coming-of-age for the second time around story. Contemplative and hilarious and awkward. 40YOV is all about seeing yourself from a new perspective and also dealing with the ways mourning someone changes your view of yourself.

Secret Society of Second-Born Royals (2020)

Sherin Nicole

The plotting might be a little predictable but so what? The characters and world are well worth it--you won't have any disappointments in their superpowered super spy adventures.

The Devil All the Time (2020)

Sherin Nicole

Rife with decay and the suppurating evil that lies beneath the hearts of nefarious people--The Devil All the Time is dismal and yet faintly dazzling; somewhat like the hell on earth it portrays.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018)

Sherin Nicole

Lara Jean learns a lot of lessons--she changes and she grows--but she never becomes anything other than herself. It's always her discovering new sides of herself. That's so important for young women to see.

Waves (2019)

Sherin Nicole

What's most affecting about WAVES is how slice-of-life it is, and how deeply that knife can cut.

The Lion King (2019)

Sherin Nicole

Why don't I feel the same today as I did when I watched the original? Animation [is] much more expressive...this film is so deeply photorealistic the expressiveness of these characters is lost.

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

Sherin Nicole

Tom Holland encapsulates both Spider-Man and Peter Parker better than anyone I've seen.

Always Be My Maybe (2019)

Sherin Nicole

There's a lot I want to say about Always Be My Maybe but it's mostly squealing and giggling in glee. Neither predictable or clichéd, instead ABMM hits all the tropes--which makes it an enjoyable character driven rom-com that I, personally, loved.

Booksmart (2019)

Sherin Nicole

Every generation has their teen movie but BOOKSMART does something different. Not only does it center two female leads who are empowered and supportive of each other, it is also nonstop realness that is true and pure and hilarious.

Little (2019)

Sherin Nicole

The true triumph of 'Little' is Marsai Martin, from creating and pitching this film, to executive producing it, to being the best thing about it. Martin is incredible.
