Justice League – Teaser Trailer

I have to admit that I enjoyed the first trailer for Zach Snyder’s Justice League. but if I say I weren’t concerned I’d be lying. Reason being, he had two chances to make movies based on Batman and Superman. The first attempt, Man of Steel is enjoyed by many, but in its way is as […]

X-Men Apocalypse Wobbles To The Finish

I’ve said for a long time now that Fox doesn’t know how to manage the Marvel Studios properties–currently the X-Men and the Fantastic Four–that they currently control. So what do they do? They go and prove me right.  X-Men: Apocalypse, after a Memorial Day premiere of $79.8 million–enough to beat the competition handily–fell a dizzying 66 […]

Independence Day: Resurgence Extended Trailer

I’ve said it before, but with movies like Captain America: Civil War and the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse it’s hard for other movies to get any oxygen, particularly big-budget tentpoles like Warcraft and Independence Day: Resurgence Mixed reviews certainly don’t help, like in the case of Warcraft though I honestly think that people are getting tired […]

3 Things Warner Bros Should Do To Fix The DCEU

Indeed. Opinions are just like buttholes.  By DCEU, I mean the DC Extended Universe (which sounds to me like someone’s working really hard not to sound in any way similar to Marvel Studios’ MCU or Marvel Cinematic Universe). In any case, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has earned just over $868 million at the […]

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them – Teaser Trailer 2

Off the top of my head, I think that I may have seen two Harry Potter movies, though the only one I remember is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (mainly because it was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who did the remarkable Children of Men–one of those rare movies significantly better than the books that inspired them–more so than […]

Is Batman v Superman A Failure? It Depends On How You Look At It

And the answer is a firm “Maybe.” To begin, let’s call our hypotheses, Scenario One and Two. Scenario One is the best case; Scenario Two…not at all. If your chief source of information is Box Office Mojo, then things can be interpreted somewhat optimistically. According to them, the movie is budgeted at $250 million.  That’s expensive, […]

Batman V Superman Reviews Are Coming In…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reviews have been filtering in for the last day or two, and while they’re not all terrible–after all, someone probably even liked Hitler’s paintings–they’re pretty disastrous considering that there are literally millions, if not potentially billions, riding on its success. I intend to catch it tomorrow, and will post a review as […]

The Second Annual Daredevil-A-Thon Starts Tomorrow!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is going up later this month, though before that we have the Second season of Marvel’s Daredevil, premiering tomorrow on Netflix. This time Daredevil faces not only The assassins known in the comics as The Hand (we saw hints of them in the first season) but the lethal vigilante known as the […]
