    Red One

    ★★½

    Red One, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Chris Evans, was set to be a holiday action-comedy that could bring the best of both actors to the screen-think epic fight scenes, holiday nostalgia, and lighthearted laughs. But despite the film's premise and unique concept, Red One somehow misses the mark on delivering an enjoyable popcorn experience. For a movie with Johnson and Evans at the helm, it has all the right ingredients but lacks the punch we expected.

    Wicked

    ★★★★½

    Directed by Jon M. Chu, Wicked: Part 1 is a dazzling musical adaptation of the acclaimed Broadway production, transporting viewers to the enchanting land of Oz before Dorothy's arrival. This first instalment explores the origins of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), a young woman ostracized for her green skin, and her evolving relationship with Glinda (Ariana Grande), her polar opposite in personality and fate. The film masterfully blends breathtaking vocal performances, including the iconic Defying Gravity, with a heartfelt exploration of themes…
