For awhile I was worried about Netflix cancelling Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil (more than likely to be followed by The Punisher and Jessica Jones) but after seeing the first season of The Umbrella Academy, a new series based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name, I’m a bit more comfortable because […]
I didn’t dislike Happy Death Day 2 U, though like the movie that begat it–the original Happy Death Day (2017)–it’s pretty inconsequential and fluffy. Though it’s fascinating not for what it does right, but more what it doesn’t: namely the introduction of parallel universes, an idea not present in the first (which dealt with a […]
It’s been estimated that Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel will bow somewhere in the ballpark $100 million. By way of comparison–because let’s be honest: You knew it was coming–DC Films’ Wonder Woman had a $105 million debut, so all signs point to Captain Marvel surpassing it. It’s worth mentioning that Captain Marvel is likely to be […]
I have to admit that when I first heard of Happy Death Day I wasn’t expecting much…and after finally having seen it, I was right. It’s too disposable by far and you know that that’s going to be the case when you realize the idea of a person reliving the same day seemingly infinitely is […]
Like with Disney’s Aladdin, I don’t think I was part of the target audience for 2013’s Frozen and will likely not be part of it for the upcoming sequel. And it literally doesn’t matter because that movie earned a gazillion dollars–that’s actually $1.277 billion–and I expect the sequel to do the same. Whether or not […]
I missed Happy Death Day because I thought it was, essentially, Groundhog Day with added violence: clever concept, weak execution. And the former was right, though the latter, apparently not so much because if reviews are anything to go by I apparently missed a pretty fun movie. So, eventually learning from my oversights, I got […]
The original Children Of The Corn (1984) is a pretty good movie, though the sequels got progressively bad, till we reached Children Of The Corn: Urban Harvest, which is absolutely terrible (See it! It’s fascinatingly bad!) This new version, directed by John Culager, looks decent, though as I mentioned in my review of the trailer, […]
I want to mock the people that got all into a tizzy over the lack of the Genie (Will Smith) in the last teaser trailer for their upcoming live-action Aladdin. Then again, I’m because I try not to be too blatant a hypocrite because while I may not particularly care about live action versions of […]
Nightmare’s Nest was the 310th episode of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, a radio show that began in 1974 and lasted till December 31, 1981, a run that consisted in over 1200 episodes. In that time it went through various hosts, and covered a wide variety of genres, like historical, science-fiction and the supernatural. In […]
After the cancellation of Marvel’s Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil (likely soon to be followed by Marvel’s The Punisher and Jessica Jones there may have been reason to be concerned about the future of the network. And there were reasons for concern. After all, their deal with Netflix seems to be imploding, and their flagship series on ABC, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is likely […]
