‘Rebel Moon’ Special Release

Let’s be clear, I’m looking forward to catching Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon and am jazzed to learn that it’s premiering a day earlier – the 21st instead of the 22nd – though I’m not expecting much because it’s based on an idea created by Snyder himself. Though let’s back up for a moment. What was […]

Warner Bros 25 Picture Movie Digital Bundle

Today I learned from The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros is offering a 25 pictures Sci-Fi and Horror movie bundle. It contains movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Gravity (2013), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), It (2017), among many others though what’s worth mentioning is that no matter your preferred application, you’ll likely […]

The Barbie Effect

When I learned that DC Studios – formerly DC Films – was going to release a Blue Beetle movie (not based on the Ted Kord version of the character, the only one I’m familiar with) I assumed that the movie was DOA. And I still do, except for a bit of uncertainty I like to […]

Batgirl’s Revenge

I really need to see Batgirl because James Gunn said that it was not releasable while The Flash ‘was probably one of the best superhero movies ever made.’ Having seen the latter it strongly implies that Gunn is either a Warner Bros Discovery shill or his opinion can’t be trusted any longer because I wouldn’t […]

Gunn Shooting Blanks?

James Gunn has called Andy Muschietti’s upcoming The Flash ‘one of the greatest superhero movies ever…‘ and that’s only true if you’ve seen very few superhero movies, because if you have, it isn’t. It has many problems, the most significant being Ezra Miller – never mind his various, and well-documented – problems in real life. […]

The Dark Knight REvisited

Let’s be honest. Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008), doesn’t hold up nearly as well as it perhaps should. Sure, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger did well with the material but I’d argue that they’d also do well if they were reading from the telephone book. My problem with the movie […]
