Rogue One Was a Stand-Alone That Stood Strong

Rogue One was an excellent movie to add to the ever-growing Star Wars saga. Set before Episode IV: A New Hope, Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) leads a group of rebels to prevent construction of the Death Star, and ends up going on a collision course with diabolical Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn).  While it is a little frustrating to keep up with the timelines and cast sometimes, it is a thrill to see all that science fiction, action, and definition of fate jammed into over two hours of cinematic excellence! Michael Giacchino also did another great scoring when he conducted the music for Rogue One. Keep up the acclaimed work, Disney. It was astonishing to see Jyn go through so much drama when she was a child, but it was relishing to see her overcome her past to attempt to preserve a better future for her and the galaxy. And Carrie Fisher shall rest in peace knowing she was loved as Princess Leia. And I don't consider her a "Princess" Princess; she has never received an army of suitors, not carried around like royalty, and really packs a punch!
May The Force Be With Everyone Who Completed This Film.

Superman-Great Past and New Hero Magic

Superman (2025) poster. Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. James Gunn's iteration of  Superman  was a well-thought-out film. I give it a 9.4/10 for both the occasional references to the Christopher Reeve film from the late 1970s and for standing out with different presentations of the iconic Man of Steel and his colorful supporting characters. This was my first time seeing David Corenswet, but he was great acting out the drama and heroism in the lives of Clark Kent and Superman. It was also great to see Rachel Brosnahan bring some gumption and humor to her role of Superman's love interest, Lois Lane, and it was great to see former X-Men actor Nicholas Hoult bring some vigor to his role of Superman's ruthless archenemy, Lex Luthor. In this Superman, it stood out by skipping the intro of Kal-El leaving Krypton as a baby and instead showing Superman, played by Corenswet, in his third year of protecting Metropolis and the world. In his quest to prove Superman a threat to humani...

The F4-First Steps-Great Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Family Drama Blend

Good afternoon, readers/viewers. On July 26, 2025, I had the pleasure of watching The Fantastic Four: First Steps. I really like what they did. Though I wish there was a little bit more crime-fighting and action to build the momentum of the Fantastic Four, the overall film was a great combination of sci-fi, fantasy, and family drama.  This time, it wasn't just about the Fantastic Four fighting off the one guy to save the world. It was about them overcoming their differences and working together like one of those family sitcoms, or something like that. In the end, I give it 8.5/10 for great visuals, family drama, work between the main cast, and scoring by Michael Giacchino. As I said, I just wish there was a little more action on the team's part. I'm very curious what you all have to say. Please subscribe to my  blog , YouTube,   TikTok , and  Medium , and tell me what you think. Thank you, and have a great day. #williambeaversv, #CinematicReviewverse, #fantasticfourf...

'Roofman': Channing Tatum Played a Lovable Thief

Poster for 'Roofman.' Courtesy of Paramount Pictures and Miramax. Channing Tatum played Jeffrey Manchester, an ex-Army Reserve soldier and divorced dad who had a penchant for details and thieving. He was known as "The Roofman" for breaking into his targets by drilling into their roofs. It was like Tatum channeled Sam Dawson and Scott Lang into one as his character managed to find a way to sneak out of prison underneath a truck with skills from prison shop, then make a home in a corner in a 2004 Toys 'R Us.  It was pretty funny and amusing how Jeffrey sort of took control of the store after closing. How he snacked on M and M's, skated around on Heely-like shoes, he acted like a grown man with a kid's bedroom with inflatables and Spider-Man merchandise, and he kept security with baby monitors. It was also kind of funny how he made money out of stealing and pawning a bunch of video games. While trying to get out of the country after fleeing to the store, Jeff...
