★★★★ There have been some strong contenders, but few have landed anywhere near the seaside town of Amity. Look no further than movies like Sharknado or Trailer Park Sharks for perfect evidence that the horror subgenre practically birthed by Jaws has grown a bit long in the (shark) tooth.

Film Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
★★★★ Much ado has been made of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe being a bit all over the place in its fourth phase. It contained some of Marvel’s finest works (WandaVision, Spider-Man: No Way Home) but also some major missteps (Eternals, Thor: Love and Thunder).
