Steve Beck’s Ghost Ship is a 2002 horror feature released through Warner Bros. and is a gloriously ridiculous movie. I wouldn’t call it a good movie necessarily, though it’s enjoyable (which is an important distinction). And as I mention in my review, it’s an oddly joyous–I don’t mean that in terms of happiness, but in […]
I enjoyed Get Out, the introduction of Jordan Peele as a director. While it was a confident debut, it was also somewhat derivative. Us is another matter entirely. It possesses the same confidence of Peele’s debut, but moves with an elan bordering on bravado because let’s be clear, Us is more complex and that it […]
Blindspot is a fun, engaging episode of Love, Death + Robots. It’s not particularly deep but then again not every episode needs to be (I would go out of my gourd if every episode were a Zima Blue).
Looking at the latest trailer for John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum all I can see is just a lot of stylized violence. That’s not a bad thing in and of itself though that rings hollow after a time. Keanu Reeves is less than a terrible actor than a monochromatic one. There’re no shades to […]
As I’ve said before, I’m not a huge fan of CGI-animated movies (or paying to see them, at any rate). I recognize the work that goes into their creation, but for whatever reason they don’t move me. The trailer for Toy Story 4 dropped a day or two ago…so here it is. The trailer is […]
According to The Wrap James Gunn has returned to Marvel Studios to direct Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 3! How this change of events came about I have no idea, but I imagine it puts Disney in an awkward position because they overreacted to some tactless, stupid Tweets from James Gunn’s past. I suspect that […]
I sometimes think people don’t understand how movies work. For instance, I see reactions to Avengers: Infinity War–the movie prior to Endgame–expressing incredulity that most of those characters are coming back. Which implies that such people are either new to this planet or have never seen a movie before because they’re somehow shocked a continuing […]
I’ve been avoiding the Spider-Man movies in theaters–very since the Andrew Garfield run–because Spider-Man belongs with Marvel Studios. If they’re not producing, I’m not interested. So a day or two ago I rented Venom mainly because I recall reviews saying how fun the movie was. And sure, I would watch Venom over receiving a root […]
I admit that I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the trailer for Disney’s Aladdin…but I did. I found it surprisingly engaging and I felt I wasn’t being ‘Will Smithed’ to death (he’s a good actor but I like him better when he’s part of an ensemble or has a foil to work off of. Kind of […]
According to the Interwebs there’s been more than a little bit of buzz revolving around Captain Marvel, the 21st installment of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and not all of it was favorable. As far as I can tell most of the problems–particularly some sort of feminist agenda–are blatantly nonsense. That being said, you’ll notice […]
