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 […]

Trailer Into REaction: Jiu Jitsu (2019) | Exclusive Official Trailer

I don’t quite know what an “Exclusive Official Trailer” is though I have to admit that I really want to see Jiu Jitsu because – while it doesn’t look particularly good – it does look damn interesting. It’s very much Predator (1987), combined with Mortal Kombat (1995) with a smidge of (the extremely underrated) Without […]

Trailer Into REaction: Mortal (2020) | Official Trailer # 1

André Øvredal is the director of movies like The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2010) and Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark (2019) and while I think Autopsy is a creepier movie that Scary Stories, both are pretty enjoyable in their own right. Now the Norwegian director appears to be taking on superheroes with Mortal. […]

Trailer Into REaction: Monster Hunter (2020) | Official Trailer

For a long time I didn’t understand the career of Paul WS Anderson. I mean his movies aren’t terrible but neither were they particularly good either and whenever you thought he might be reaching for something more like in Event Horizon (1997) or Soldier (1998), he quickly reminded you that subtext mattered about as much […]

REview: The Old Guard (2020) | The Action Debut of Gina Prince-Bythewood

Women directors aren’t exactly a known quantity as far as action movies go, and I suspect that that’s less a commentary on their ability to do the job than preconceived notions about what they as women can and cannot do. And that’s a shame though it’s also a trend that’s beginning to change. And speaking […]
