I’ve been done with movies based in The Conjuring universe for awhile now. As I say in the video, they feel like horror movies made for people who don’t particularly like horror movies. They’re well-shot, edited and lit but they’re all about jump scares and don’t seem to particularly care about whether or not they’re […]
The trailer of Godzilla: King Of The Monster dropped a week or so ago, and I can at least see the monsters–something you can’t necessarily say about the 2014 movie. It should go without saying but I. Want. To. See. The. Monsters. Why would I be remotely interested in these movies if not to see […]
The full trailer for The CW’s Batwoman dropped earlier today and it bothers me. To be honest I feel that way about quite a few things about the trailer but one thing immediately went to the top of the list. And that’s the appearance of a young Lucius Fox (played by Morgan Freeman in the […]

And speaking of box office, the receipts of the original movie indicates two things. First, it’s likely that the budget […]
The way Shazam’s box office performance is being trumpeted you’d think it’s success is assured. It’s not. Shazam has production budget of $100 dollars and earned over $158 million last weekend. And that’s a strong opening but here’s the rub, the fly in the ointment, if you will: If Shazam falls off a cliff, box-office […]
What is it with the DCEU, Worlds Of DC or whatever the heck they’re calling it this week? Now it appears they’re creating an Elseworlds version of Joker, but there’s a problem, namely that there ALREADY is a Joker! Now, whatever you may thing of Jared Leto’s version I don’t think it can be disputed […]
