Review: Kate (2021) | It’s Like ‘John Wick,’ Except Better

As you can probably guess from that title, I’m not a fan of the John Wick movies. I’ve seen two thus far (and part of the first) – John Wick: Chapter 2 and John Wick – Chapter 3: Parabellum – and they’re all about the action set pieces. Which is fine though the problem I […]

REview – Masters of the Universe: Revelation – Season One (2021) | It Just Works

I remember watching He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-1985) as a young person, and at the time I really enjoyed it. Though it hasn’t aged particularly well. And that’s to be expected when you’re dealing with characters designed to appeal mainly to young boys, with names like Stinkor (a skunk-man), Triclops (a man […]

Trailer Into REaction: Snake Eyes (2021) Official ‘Behind The Mask’ Trailer

Remember Judge Dredd (1995), when Sylvester Stallone took off his helmet and screamed (for what was for not the first time in the movie) “I AM THE LAW!” It was certainly memorable (for all the wrong reasons) but what what it was also wasn’t Judge Dredd, a character who in the comics never once revealed […]

Trailer Into REaction: Gunpowder Milkshake (2021) | Official Trailer

Remember Birds of Prey – or as it later came to be (ridiculously and somewhat pretentiously) called, Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn? That movie underwhelmed at the box office, earning just over $200 million worldwide – which would be a triumph if it were more moderately-budgeted. Though one that […]

REview: Army of the Dead (2021) | A Mediocre Movie That’s Occasionally Diverting

Can we be honest? No matter what you think about Justice League – I refuse to call it ‘Zach Snyder’s Justice League‘ though that’s the simplest way to tell it apart from the movie that Joss Whedon directed after Snyder left the project – Zach Snyder is just not a very good director. He has […]

Trailer Into REaction – Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) | Official Trailer

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 […]

REview: Invincible, Season 1 | Ep. 04 (2021) “Neil Armstrong, Eat Your Heart Out”

“Neil Armstrong, Eat Your Heart Out” is interesting because – compared to the three earlier episodes of Amazon’s Invincible – it’s the weakest yet. And keep in mind: This series releases a new episode each week. There’s no excuse I can find for the animation to take such a nose dive though I have a […]

Trailer Into REaction: Army Of The Dead (2021) | Teaser Trailer

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 […]

Trailer Into REaction: Boss Level (2021) | Official Trailer

I recently canceled by subscription to Hulu, mainly because between free Tubi, Netflix and Amazon it felt like a bit of an also-ran (I had the tier with commercials because even at that point the value proposition never quite worked for me). It goes without saying that literally the day I cancel my subscription I […]

Trailer Into REaction: Godzilla vs Kong (2021) | Official Trailer

I haven’t particularly keen for any of the American Godzilla movies. Each one thus far has felt like a course correction, as if the producers were trying to right a giant ship (the 1998 movie, which I’m not including, was akin to the Titanic, so there’s that) instead of producing the type of movie the […]
