Next Goal Wins Movie Review

“Next Goal Wins” is a comedy based on a documentary of true events. A very bad soccer team from American Samoa had one of the worst games ever. But perhaps the losing streak is now about to be over.

The Marvels Movie Review

“What has been given can be taken away.” Great MCU films could be what the quote is referring to. Well, I won’t be that harsh on “The Marvels.” If you’re a teen or younger and have followed all the stories of the younger characters in the MCU, you’ll thoroughly enjoy the flick. If you don’t fit into these categories but still do like the Marvel Comics movies, consider this an at-home watch when you have the time.​

The Killer Movie Review

“The Killer” is the best revenge film set to a killer score that you’ll ever see. It sets up his character with exceptional visuals and superb cinematography. The story isn’t trying to tell the same tale in the same fashion. It’s more unique. The Killer says that being a hitman is physically exhausting and not for everyone. He has a lot to say about a lot of things, actually. But indulge me a moment and allow me to suggest that what I would like to say is that this movie is for everyone. Everyone who digs this genre.
