Netflix’s “The Mitchells vs. The Machines” -- previously "Connected" by Sony Animation Studios starring Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph and Olivia Colman -- has within it LGBTQ representation with the main character Katie Mitchell, played by Abbi Jacobson.

Marvel Studios’ Iron Man trilogy had a great opportunity to utilize Tony Stark’s trauma and PTSD as opportunities for his character development in Iron Man 3 thanks to the events of Iron Man and Iron Man 2, but chose to save them for other installments in the MCU such as Avengers: Infinity War and the like. So I decided to review and recap the Iron Man trilogy in order to do so, and also tu...

Monster Hunter -- the loose film adaptation of the video game Monster Hunter World starring Milla Jovovich -- was a movie directed by Paul W.S. Anderson that came and went in late 2020.

2021's Coming 2 America -- Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall’s Amazon Prime sequel to 1988's Coming To America -- is a fun return to the life of once Prince, now King Akeem of Zamunda. But now that Prince Akeem is King Akeem, Coming 2 America does a good job at showing the differences between the two. And one of those differences is something even we regular folk can relate to.
