Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is likely to finish its theatrical run somewhere in the ballpark of $800-850 million, which is pretty damn good, though I’m reasonably sure there will be someone who’ll says ‘Black Panther: Wakanda‘ Forever underperformed compared to the first movie.’ And by looking strictly at the numbers, that’s – fairly […]
This is a question for the ages because the original Black Panther earned $1.3 billion worldwide in 2018, so it’s reasonable to assume it’s sequel would perform well; the question is only HOW well, not the aforementioned performance in and of itself. Which I ask because Disney – which happens to be the same company […]
While I enjoyed 2016’s Doctor Strange I wish that it had been…well…weirder. And to be fair there was quite a burden on director Scott Derrickson’s shoulders, namely now to introduce a character that’s amongst the weirdest in Marvel’s stable, but do so in a manner that doesn’t turn off people who’re grown accustomed to their […]
I think it’s an interesting question: Why are we getting a movie based on Morbius The Living Vampire? The feature is based on a Marvel Comics character, Michael Morbius, who in a search for cure to his own blood-borne illness develops a condition awfully close to vampirism (hence the whole ‘Living Vampire’ thing). If it […]
I don’t tend to read other people’s movie reviews – unless they’re irrelevant enough that I don’t take details from them because I can be that impressionable – and after I have already reviewed something I’m not typically too interested in what anyone thinks about the same subject. And I didn’t need to track down […]
What would summer be without the latest Marvel Studios blockbuster? It should have been Black Widow (2021) though that movie – finally arriving July 9 after hopping around the release calendar is premiering in theaters and Disney+ as movie studios devastated by COVID-19 try to bounce back (a web not even a master spy like […]
I haven’t seen any movies from Chloe Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) though I have seen trailers and they’re typically intimate affairs with a visual scope that would not be out of place in a John Ford (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Searchers) movie. Today a teaser trailer was dropped for the movie she’s […]
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 […]
Marvel Studios released a teaser teaser for their upcoming feature, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings starring Simu Liu (Kim’s Convenience) and it looks like it could be a lot of fun, which is if we’re to judge from the trailer has elements of action, heart and humor that’s come to be a […]
I’m just going to put it out there: I don’t think Zach Snyder can tell a story to save his life, which is all the more interesting since he’s been making a living as a feature-film director (who’s entire job is telling stories) for quite awhile now, after leaving the world of commercials and music […]
