Within the confines of local Chicago pub, I cover many of the latest films, plus classics, through my writing and in-depth film discussions.

#digger is devilishly entertaining, yet its dreariness is numbing. It’s a movie that’s not a crowd-pleaser. It’s a bleak reminder of where we’re headed unless we rise up against the billionaires controlling the world. #TomCruise #AlejandroGonzalezInarritu ypareviews.com/blog/2026/9/2…

Forgotten Island has potential, yet its middling second act and underwhelming execution, topped with an eye-rolling final scene, make this trip to Nakali one to forget.  #forgottenisland #dreamworksanimation #moviereaction ypareviews.com/blog/2026/9/1…

If you can see between the pixels, Cregger makes a clever little commentary on how we fail to work together when disaster strikes. Yet it’s not nihilistic. But more of an alarm bell. #ResidentEvil #moviereview ypareviews.com/blog/2026/9/1…

With a little more time structuring the movie’s story and pace, Paul Greengrass could have made a fantastic, topical picture. Instead, he makes a convoluted movie that stumbles after its rise. #TheUprising #andrewgarfield ypareviews.com/blog/2026/9/1…

Everyone loves this game. Except for me. Watch everyone tell me tomorrow why the world is right and I am wrong. Insert tacky "you should call your show You'll Probably Not Agree" joke. #metalgearsolid #hideokojima youtube.com/watch?v=Y6jiJepF…
