Ballerina

‘Ballerina’ steps into ‘John Wick’s’ shoes for magnificent dance

July 3, 2025July 3, 2025 John Hansen John Wick

Movie review: This “Wick”-verse film is made with just as much money and care, and it’s awesome to see Ana de Armas affirm her star status.

John Wick Chapter 4

‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ goes out in a big (and long) way

June 14, 2023April 17, 2025 John Hansen John Wick

Point Break

‘Point Break’ (1991) a dumb, then great, action classic 

July 14, 2022April 17, 2025 John Hansen Movies

Throwback Thursday (Movie review): “Point Break” is a tale of two halves – first a cringingly dumb buddy copper, then an all-time genre gem.

Matrix Resurrections

Matrix reboots for thrilling remix ‘Matrix Resurrections’

December 24, 2021April 17, 2025 John Hansen Matrix
