Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room–currently on Netflix–is a great thriller, one of the best I’ve seen in awhile. The movie revolves around a band so hard up for work that they have to siphon gas from nearby cars to get to their gigs. They eventually find themselves in a club frequented by Nazis and skin […]
And speaking of content, the title of this article–while to the point–is blander than it perhaps deserves. And speaking of articles Forbes has just published one claiming to know why Netflix has cancelled it’s Marvel shows (out of five only two, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, remain). And to be honest I don’t expect either […]
And I don’t mean in a new season of The Defenders because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix had just cancelled Marvel’s Daredevil. This is particularly odd because Season Three of the Charlie Cox-led series was arguably the strongest season yet though more than anything else it makes me really curious about how they determine […]
I’ve never been a fan of Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s not a bad movie more than a narratively muddy one that never quite comes clear. Though there are some moments you can see the potential of the character shine through–such as what I like to call the ‘bully’ scene–but on the whole doesn’t […]
I’ve been aware of the Artemis Fowl books for awhile now–they’re a Young Adult series from Scholastic–and they seemed pretty popular with students at the school I used to work at. And while I can’t speak for the books, this is a clever trailer! I have no idea what it’s about–not a bad thing when […]
Earlier today Disney released a trailer for the live-action iteration of their 1984 animated feature, The Lion King and no one should be particularly surprised, especially after 2016’s The Jungle Book, where we saw that CGI could render panthers, bears, hyenas and other animals with remarkable accuracy (I’d be amiss if I also didn’t mention […]
This review is a long time coming because while I’m a huge fan of the original Pacific Rim I didn’t know how to approach the sequel, especially since the director of the first, Guillermo Del Toro, wouldn’t be returning to the franchise. Steven DeKnight (Spartacus, Marvel’s Daredevil) directed the sequel, and his approach–to be expected–is […]
What’s the point of Once Upon A Deadpool, or as I like to call it, Deadpool 2-lite? A cynical money grab by Fox to see if they could milk more dinero from a movie already released–and gone–from theaters? A ploy by Disney–who gained the rights to Deadpool and all the characters that comprise the […]
Pixar’s Toy Story movies have been consistently good, which is really difficult to do. Though they’re not typically movies I’m drawn to, I do understand that they’re oftentimes pretty remarkable and definitely have their audience. Toy Story 4 is the latest in the series, though having just watched the trailer…it looks fine, but hints at […]
I caught Julius Avery’s Overlord yesterday, and for the most part enjoyed it. In particular there were some pretty engaging moments of body horror that came from nowhere and really livened things up. That being said there were also a few niggling details that distracted from it being all it could be. One of which was […]
