If you’re like me you thought that Tenoch Huerta’s as Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as one of the stronger performances in a film filled with them. Though what constantly impresses me about it is that despite Huerta not resembling the Sub-Mariner from the comics, he manages to embody the traits – the ruthlessness, […]
Recently James Gunn buried the hatchet with Henry Cavill about his iteration of Superman not making it into the revamped DCU, instead deciding to go with a younger version of the character. He did the same with Dwayne Johnson, who played Black Adam, though when he did so he was very likely lying and possibly […]
Remember when Dwayne Johnson tried to essentially muscle his into running the DCEU by doing things like going above Walter Hamada to get Henry Cavill to cameo in Black Adam – now keep in mind that I’m not a fan of Walter Hamada, though there is a such thing as a chain of command – […]
While familiar with the work of Lucio Fulci before now, I had no idea he was as prolific as he was. He’d directed/written about seventy features, a catalog more extensive and varied than most people are probably aware though what surprises me most is how he takes what is familiar, and adds his own spin. […]
Apparently Steven Spielberg – and Peter Benchley, who wrote the book the movie was based upon – is sorry that Jaws lead to the decimation of the shark population. Though what I’m wondering is what did they think would happen? Both the film and book spent an inordinate amount of time treating sharks as if […]
Remember that awesome Barbie teaser trailer (which, I’ve done a reaction to, right here)? Well, apparently Stanley Kubrick – or more accurately his estate, since he died in 1999 – feels the same! Though to be honest Kubrick were alive today I get the feeling that he probably wouldn’t? After all, it’s not as if […]
It’s almost like a bad joke. What movie can open to $134 million and still fall below expectations? Avatar: The Way of Water! Seriously, this movie has such a big budget – somewhere in the ballpark of $350 to $400 million, never mind the promotion costs – that James Cameron himself says it has to […]
The teaser trailer for Warner Bros. upcoming Barbie feature dropped today and I only looked at it out of morbid curiosity because I was certain that it wouldn’t be anything I would be interested in, that it would be likely be all girly and Barbie-ish. And I was wrong (which is certainly a surprise to […]
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the first movie in a long time that I’ve seen twice in theaters. The reason I did so had a lot to do with the performance of Tenoch Huerta (Namor) and the depiction of the people of Telokan. It made me feel a sense of pride in Namor and what […]
The trailer for 65 dropped earlier this week and it looked – at least initially – pretty impressive as Adam Driver plays a pilot who’s spaceship, which happens to be transporting 35 people for reasons that aren’t revealed, is disabled by an asteroid, and falls to Earth. Surviving the crash, he has to not manage […]
