I should have known. I thought Frank Darabont was the only person who had problems with AMC’s accounting practices and that’s obviously not the case. Apparently Robert Kirkman – the creator of The Walking Dead with artist Charlie Adlard – has relaunched his lawsuit against AMC as well, likely spurred on by the $200 million […]
The trailer dropped for Venom: Let There Be Carnage yesterday and if you liked Venom (2018) you’ll probably feel at home with the upcoming sequel (though who knows? It’s not unusual for clips in trailers to have scenes that were cut for reasons of timing reasons or whatever). So you never actually know what you’re […]
Amazon’s Invincible – based on the Image comic book created by Robert Kirkman (of The Walking Dead) is a love letter to the modern age superhero. In fact, depending upon what you think about that will probably have a lot to do with how you feel about the series. The story so far – only […]
This review contains mild spoilers for Bloodshot. Dave Wilson’s Bloodshot isn’t bad, though it doesn’t bring anything new to the table either. And that’s important because there’ve been a few stabs at creating a cinematic universe, and so far only Marvel Studios and New Line’s The Conjuring and it’s spinoffs have done so successfully (and […]
The Second Season of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy dropped last Friday, and it’s pretty good. Based upon a Dark Horse comic written by Gerald Way and Gabriel Bá, Season Two begins where last season ended, which is to say that the students of the Umbrella Academy fail at their attempt to stop the Apocalypse. Number […]
Comicbook.com just posted a complete image of the Batsuit from Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman, and it’s hard to say if it works visually. And that’s because you can’t necessarily tell how well a costume works from spy shots because superhero suits are designed to be depicted in a certain way and in a particular […]
Sony is an interesting studio as of late. While Universal is busy piling money in a pile–and burning it–producing stinkers likes Cats and Dolittle Sony is apparently on a tear, following up Jumanji: The Next Level, Zombieland: Double Tap with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and most recently, Bad Boys for Life (which isn’t […]
While I’ve never been a believer in the idea of franchise fatigue as far as the Marvel Cinematic Universe goes I can see how people might get tired of anything if it becomes too commonplace. Which is almost the dictionary definition of Spider-Man as he’s appeared in feature films. After the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy […]
The trailer of Spider-Man: Far From Home dropped this morning, and it’s glorious. There’s a bit too much Iron Spider for my liking–I don’t necessarily mind an Iron Man-ized Spider-Man, but it’s not exactly my favorite thing. That being said, we learn more about Quentin Beck, otherwise known as Mysterio, about how he came to […]
I haven’t seen Aquaman in theaters–despite it featuring one of my favorite characters, Black Manta–because, as far as the DCEU (or whatever they choose to call it) I’m done. Under ‘creative genius’ Zach Snyder I felt that there was so little faith in these characters that they were Batman and Superman in name only. Yet […]
