I was impressed by M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense (1999) as I imagine most people were though eventually I came to notice that the bulk of his movies that followed were for the most part The Twilight Zone knock-offs (sans the brilliant writing of Rod Serling). And for awhile his shtick worked…till it didn’t […]
James Gunn is one of those directors that I feel does better when he’s forced to innovate, which is typically the case when someone doesn’t have access to resources and is forced to make do. That is no longer the case, especially after the success of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies though what The […]
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, […]
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 – […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is projected to earn somewhere between $118 and $128 million in China over the weekend, which is pretty impressive. Which is a pretty stellar opening, no doubt but – and it’s a really impressive ‘but’ – the movie is believed to cost somewhere in the ballpark of $350-$400 […]
According to Comicbookmovie.com, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s goal is to wipe the slate clean as far as prior interpretations of DC characters in the live action space goes. And I believe that’s a likely, and more importantly, necessary step to take (and have argued it should have been taken place long before now) but […]
I don’t subscribe to Disney+ though I do have a Hullu subscription (both are owned by The Walt Disney Company) and for a limited time they made available two episodes of Andor, which I watched. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, mainly because whatever it was, it wasn’t Star Wars. Star Wars movies are […]
