Movie Review: Same old “Top Gun,” Same old “Maverick”
“Top Gun Maverick” is movie about how people don’t change, and how hit movie formulas shouldn’t be messed with. It’s a sentimental stroll through 1986’s “Top Gun” — a sentimental stroll at Mach whatever, pulling seven, eight or nine “G’s” … Continue reading
Series Preview: Who’s excited for “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law?”

Movie Preview: Hemsworth and Teller, in prison and on an experimental drug — “Spiderhead”
Same director as “Top Gun: Maverick.” Only…on Netflix.
Movie Preview: Door to door insurance salesmen trapped in a serial killer’s basement? “Keeping Company”
