Black Adam (2022)

“Tell Them The Man In Black Sent You.” Sometimes the world needs a big, loud movie that simply entertains. The plot remains simple and predictable. The action occurs often and with a ton of slow motion moves that highlight the strength, speed, and powers of the heroes and villains. Those elements, with a larger thanContinue reading “Black Adam (2022)”
