Ask Pappy #15: Are Video Game Movies Finally Good, or Are We Just Getting Better at Losing?
Dear Pappy, Mortal Kombat 2 looks great. The new Street Fighter movie looks awesome, so far, cast-wise at least. Do you think this is a resurgence for video game movies or should we just appreciate the good ones?

Film Review: The Crow (1994) (9/10)
The iconic white face paint, flowing black trench coats, and rooftop guitar solos created an indelible visual aesthetic that influenced an entire generation of alternative fashion. Every single frame is composed with an artistic eye for expressionistic shadows and romantic gloom.

Film Review: Underneath: Children of the Sun (8.5/10)
When an enslaved man named Khalil (played with intense gravity by Jordan Walker) discovers the wreckage, the film doesn't use it as a simple escape pod. The arrival of alien technology doesn’t erase the brutality of the time period; instead, it complicates it. This isn’t just a movie you watch; it’s a statement.
