Review: The Dink Is the Kind of Funny, Charming Underdog Comedy We Did Not Know We Needed Right Now
By Klep Napier | Wearecritix.com Nobody is going to walk away from The Dink claiming it reinvented the wheel. That is not what this film is trying to do and honestly that is exactly what makes it work. The Dink is genuinely funny, charming and at times surprisingly original. It knows exactly what it is, stays completely in its lane and delivers the kind of sharp, hilarious and witty dialogue that feels like the good old days of a Happy Madison production firing on all cylinde

Review: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey Is a Beautiful, Star-Studded Ride That Somehow Forgets Its Own Star
By Klep Napier | Werarecritix.com Christopher Nolan has never made an ugly film. That much is certain. But The Odyssey might be his most ambitious swing yet and ambition, as we all know, is a double edged sword. When you pack this much legendary talent into a single frame and then ask them to serve a story that half the world already knows by heart, you are either going to blow the roof off or find yourself in a very expensive traffic jam. The Odyssey lands somewhere in betwe

Review: Supergirl Soars Beyond Expectations and Delivers One of DC Studios' Strongest Films Yet
By Klep Napier | WeAreCritiX.com Going into Supergirl, I expected very little. In fact, if I'm being completely honest, the marketing left me concerned. The trailers sold the film as another cosmic superhero adventure filled with explosions, visual effects, and quirky supporting characters. What they didn't adequately communicate was the heart of the story. What audiences are actually getting isn't simply another superhero movie set in James Gunn's new DC Universe. Instead, S

Masters of the Universe Review: Travis Knight Delivers the He-Man Movie Fans Have Been Waiting Decades For
By Klep Napier | WeAreCritiX.com For decades, Masters of the Universe has occupied a strange place in pop culture. It's one of the most recognizable toy and cartoon brands of the 1980s, yet every attempt to bring He-Man back to the mainstream has faced the same question: can modern audiences actually take this world seriously? After all, this is a franchise filled with magical swords, skull-faced villains, giant green battle cats, and characters with names like Trap Jaw, Man-
