Rob reviews…Eternals
Eternals does a great job of introducing roughly a dozen new characters in a relatively short amount of time. The movie is able to introduce the characters, their dynamic with the Celestials, their conflict with the Deviants all at the same time.

Rob Reviews… Zack Snyder’s Justice League
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a comic book junkie! As a young kid, I loved comic books because of the costumes and the larger than life superheroics. As an adult, I’ve come to realize that superhero stories are are modern day myths. That, and superhero stores…

Let me get a few things out of the way first: I generally don’t like reality shows. I’ve watched a season or two of “Survivor” and “American Idol” but they’re basically the same stuff year after year. Having said that I absolutely love “Bar Rescue”. I feel that the vast…
