Moon Knight is one of my favorite comic characters–that’s my bust on the left–and while I’m glad to hear that the character is getting a bit of love from Marvel, I have to ask if Disney+ is the right place for the character. Moon Knight, like most characters, has gone through various incarnations though interestingly […]
Like assholes, likely everyone has an opinion…as to why Ava DuVernay is directing New Gods for DC Films. What brought this line of inquiry to mind was the a story from Comicbooknews about DuVernay directing a show called DMZ (starring the breathtaking Rosario Dawson). The last big-budget feature she directed was Disney’s A Wrinkle In […]
Netflix’s Sex Education impressed me it’s first season, which pessimistically speaking, had me wondering when the show was going to begin to decline. Because there’s some good shows–or at least were good shows–that went on way too long; cough, cough, Supernatural so while it’s only the second season of Sex Education, I wouldn’t be too […]
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.

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 […]
Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse isn’t a good movie though what’s surprising is how bad it actually is. 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. Like Storm. Like Archangel/Angel. Like Quicksilver). I could […]
