Revisiting this masterpiece on the big screenbrought back lots of forgotten nostalgia thanks to the old footage in restoration mode. My capsule review on This is Spinal Tap from @FathomEnt movieswithtarek.com/2025/07/08/thi… @CriticsChicago @movieswithtarek #thisisspinaltap

movieswithtarek's tweet card. This is Spinal Tap is a grandeur of brilliance that is filled with classic moments. Rob Reiner’s early project has led to more audiences over the years. This mockument…

#FantasticFour is the best MCU film since NO WAY HOME — Matt Shakman delivers a film that truly feels singular against the massive MCU catalog w/ the retro 60s feel & GORGEOUS VFX. The cast is outstanding, w/ Kirby & Pascal leading the charge beautifully. The focus on family…

Romance cannot be true via tying someone up. My review on #OhHiMovie movieswithtarek.com/2025/07/21/oh-… @CriticsChicago @movieswithtarek #OhHiMovie

movieswithtarek's tweet card. Romance and a relationship finding itself to be sabotaged are the themes in this fling of a romcom. This is Oh, Hi!. Written and directed by Sophie Brooks, …

There is a darkness in the kills with slashing stabs. There are moments of misbelief. The tread of the depths of terror is deep and steady. My review on #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer movieswithtarek.com/2025/07/17/i-k… @CriticsChicago @movieswithtarek

movieswithtarek's tweet card. This is a continuation where alumni of its cast hold strong, but the momentum falls flat. I Know What You Did Last Summer has the thrills and terror to be a blockbuster and…

Gunn’s directing is one-of-a-kind. My review on Superman has landed on @PNdaily positivelynaperville.com/2025/07/13/mov… #superman #JamesGunn @CriticsChicago @movieswithtarek

movieswithtarek's tweet card. This is the next chapter and a new beginning. In this film, James Gunn uses his mind to jump right into what the superhero franchise is about. There is not much of a foundation, but it is all laid...

Power vs power is the bond of Sovereign. It is in the performances of Offerman and Quaid. My review on #sovereign movieswithtarek.com/2025/07/11/sov… @CriticsChicago @movieswithtarek #dennisquaid #nickofferman

movieswithtarek's tweet card. This is a different role for Nick Offerman. One where he plays a man that is against all forms of the law and foundations of the legal system and is on the run to…

My coverage on F1: The Movie races to @PNdaily positivelynaperville.com/2025/07/02/mov…

movieswithtarek's tweet card. There is a blasting that makes the heart pulse. The start of F1: The Movie sounds like the engines revving up for a race to begin. Only it is not one race, it is multiple races. There is competition...

My coverage on Jurassic World: Rebirth soars down on @PNdaily positivelynaperville.com/2025/07/07/mov…

movieswithtarek's tweet card. Dawn of the dinosaurs may be upon this respected franchise, but this time around it is lacking a storyline. Throughout the years, I have loved the Jurassic Park films by Steven Spielberg. However,...

These are pieces of a puzzle which grow deeper and fuel the fire for something more invigorating. A dazzling, albeit slightly mediocre circus of fun. My review on Heads of State! movieswithtarek.com/2025/07/05/hea… @movieswithtarek @CriticsChicago #HeadsOfStateOnPrime

movieswithtarek's tweet card. A thriller based on a global threat starring Idris Elba, John Cena, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas is overrated for serious thought and more geared on laughs. In Heads…
