THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS [Review]: Feed Your Head.

The path between me seeing The Matrix on opening night back in 1999, and me doing what I'm currently doing for a living -- to this day -- is a straight line. When The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions, came out in the spring and winter of 2003, respectively, my friends and I skipped …

DUNE [Review]: Fear Is The Mind Killer.

After the expected delay due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, at long last, director Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of author Frank Herbert's seminal, wildly-influential sci-fi epic, Dune, has hit theaters and HBO Max simultaneously.
