Men In Black: International (2019) – F. Gary Gray
The fourth film in the Men In Black franchise is a bit of a letdown. There are no real surprises in the story or reveals, which is too bad, because it opens the world up a touch by introducing us to different branches around the globe, and it’s got a solid cast including Tessa Thompson,…

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) – Taika Waititi
