Ryan Reynolds, of Deadpool fame, is quite the entrepreneur. First, in 2018 (or thereabouts) Reynolds purchased Aviation Gin, which you likely knew if you saw 6 Underground on Netflix because if it were featured more prominently I’d be surprised if everyone who watched didn’t receive a free bottle. And he apparently isn’t done because recently […]
Xavier Gens’ Cold Skin is a fascinating movie about the evil that resides within us all though what it isn’t is Lovecraftian (a term used most often, I’ve noticed, by people who have never actually read Lovecraft). The movie revolves around a weather observer during World War I, who’s stationed on a remote island for […]
When I heard Damon Lindelof (Lost, Prometheus, Star Trek: Into Darkness) was tackling Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen I wasn’t too optimistic. And my hesitancy–on the surface–was justified because Into Darkness ranked among one of the most irritating movies of 2013 while Prometheus (2012) may have looked spectacular, its story was underwhelming and for […]

It’s badly written, directed in a mediocre fashion and a terrible interpretation of one of Marvel Comics’ most powerful mutants (never mind how it treats the other characters. Like Psylocke.

If you’ve seen The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2 and Venom you probably feel that Sony’s treatment of Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man property has not always been up to snuff (and you likely noticed I didn’t include Sam Raimi’s original trilogy, and that was no accident since Raimi essentially did what he wanted with the first two movies; with any mentionable degree […]
Mainly because I think I have a good idea of what Marvel Studios is looking for. While Scott Derrickson is leaving the project, he’s staying on as Executive Producer, which implies an amicable parting with Marvel. Now, the title ‘Executive Producer’ is potentially as meaningless as “creative differences” but assuming that relations between the director […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Derrickson has left Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. The article sites “creative differences (essentially a meaningless term)” and while it seems that that the parting was amicable (Derrickson remains as executive producer), something tells me that the reason for his leaving was his intention […]
