Review: 'Pacific Rim: Uprising' (2018)
In the summer of 2013, Guillermo Del Toro directed a little film known as Pacific Rim which opened at #3 at the box office and went on to make $101.8 million domestically, but went on to make $411 million worldwide, thanks mostly to China. That film started Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, and Burn Gorman. I throughly enjoyed that film and even called it the modern equivalent to The 1996 film, Independence Day.

Review: 'Tomb Raider' (2018)
In 2001, Angelina Jolie starred as Lara Croft in the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider which, despite being blasted by critics (as of writing this, it currently has a 20 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes), made $131 million at the box office. In 2003, Jolie went on to star in the film’s sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, which (still disliked by critics with a 25 percent RT rating) managed to only gross $65.6 million domestically. In 2018, this film, simply titled Tomb Raider so far has mixed reviews from critics (50 percent on RT) and has thus far, as of writing this, grossed $42.4 million domestically.

Could 2018 Be the Year Where Video Game Movies Don’t Suck?
Ever since the early 90s, Hollywood has released a multitude of movies based on video games and they have been, for the most part, poorly received. Most of the time it’s usually due to either it’s massive detachment from the source material (i.e. House of The Dead, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li) or maybe it’s just simply terrible (i.e. Max Payne,Assassin’s Creed). The 90s saw a boom of these types of films thanks mostly to the Box Office success of the 1995 film adaptation of Mortal Kombat.
