Postmortem: Catwoman (2004)
If you’re expecting me to say something to the effect that Pitof’s 2004 super hero movie Catwoman is some sort of lost classic then you’re definitely barking up the wrong tree…because it’s not. And while the buck usually stops with the director, I don’t think that that’s entirely fair in this case, mainly because the […]
Can We Stop With The ’67 Characters’ Nonsense?
Recently quite a few venues are running with the idea that the Russo brothers (Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the upcoming Captain America: Civil War) are going to have 67 characters in their upcoming two-parter.

In directed the latest Star Wars movies he had to manage to invigorate the franchise, while not alienating long-time fans of the movie.

The Enterprising Mystery of LeVar Burton
I’ve written on this topic before, though I have yet to find an answer–satisfying or otherwise.
Star Trek: Beyond – Teaser Trailer
I refuse to leave out the colon in Star Trek: Beyond because while I am not a grammar nazi, it feels incomplete, as if someone hasn’t quite finished the sentence. “Star Trek Beyond….” Beyond what? Beyond Jupiter? Beyond Imagination? Beyond Getting On My Last Nerve!? Anyway, the trailer looks fun, and while I know that that’s a […]
