What The Heck Is Going On With Justice League Dark?

Warner Bros/DC Films’ Justice League Dark has had one of the most confusing journeys in to theaters in recent memory. Originally intended as a project for Guillermo del Toro to direct, for unknown reasons those plans were abandoned, and it morphed into a cartoon (It’s worth mentioning that how the situation unfolded–minus the animation–is vaguely similar to how […]

Split – Trailer into Reaction

M. Night Shyamalan continues to have a very interesting career. For awhile, he was by some considered the heir apparent” to Steven Spielberg, which is very rarified air. And I can’t imagine that not going to his head a little bit, which probably has at least a little to do with Lady in the Water. That being said, I […]

Arrival – Trailer into Reaction

Here’s my reaction trailer to Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival. It looks pretty interesting, and I like the seemingly more cerebral approach to the material. In other words, it reminds me of Independence Day, but a little more thoughtful and nuanced. And I’ll try harder not to call it The Arrival, which was a Charlie Sheen movie from […]

The Edge of Seventeen – Trailer

I don’t tend to be a comedy guy–I enjoy them, but don’t tend to go out of my way to catch one–but the trailer for Kelly Fremon’s The Edge of Seventeen really caught my attention. First off, it apparently recognizes that the best comedy comes from tragedy, so there’s a girl, Nadine Byrd (Hailee Steinfeld), […]

Can Geoff Johns Save The DCEU?

Can Geoff Johns save the DCEU, otherwise known as the DC Extended Universe? Let’s just say I HIGHLY doubt it.  And it’s worth mentioning that I speculate out of love because–while DC characters like Batman and Superman aren’t my favorites–I don’t wish them ill, either. Which is why I find the movies released so far […]

The Second Week Curse Strikes Suicide Squad!

Which, if you follow Warner Bros. and DC Films is pretty much par for the course because, as big as the 67.3 percent fall for Suicide Squad was, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice performed even worse, declining 69 percent. And this is problematic because it all the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) movies so far have lacked legs, and declined precipitously in […]

Stop Implying Nefarious Motives For Ghostbusters (2016) Box Office Performance

For a movie who’s job was to reboot a blatantly uncontroversial movie, the 2016 reboot of Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters proved remarkably controversial. And while I’d rather not rehash the whole  debate, I was reading a story from Brett White from Comicbookresources‘ Spinoff Online, where he draws a comparison between the way numerous movies are treated; commenting […]

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter – Official Trailer

Remember when I did a writeup of the Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Teaser Trailer and all I did was complain about how much I dislike the series? That hasn’t changed. Though I find the first full trailer for the movie interesting because it contains various elements from the first movie, such as the laser trap… and […]
