Cinema Dispatch: #GoodFortune
Keanu Reeves may be perfect casting as an enigmatic guardian angel, but does this movie make the most of its glorious premise, or is a sacrilege to good comedy?

Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

Today we'll be looking at two of the biggest downer filmmakers of the modern era as they try to indulge in a little action and humor to spice up their usual bleakness and ennui. Does this experiment in other genres bring out the best in both filmmakers?

Cinema Dispatch: #SpongeBob: Search for SquarePants
For a show that's been around since before the turn of the Millennium, SpongeBob is still doing quite well for itself. Can the fourth feature film stand alongside the best of the series, or is this a bigger misstep than Kamp Koral?

Bryan Fuller steps into the director's role with his debut feature; reuniting with Mads Mikkelson to have him fight a monster under the bed. Sounds like a great premise, but does the film live up to the sales pitch?

I play a poker app that looks exactly like this. At least in that, there's a pretense that we're "gambling" and so throwing offers all over the place is what you put up with in that kind of environment. For a kids game? Absolutely wild.

The first Wicked was a delight for fans of the musical and newcomes alike, but with the second half of the story often considered to be lesser than the first, can this sequel hope to reach the dizzying heights of its predecessor?
