If you ask ten people at what point a movie becomes profitable, you’ll probably get ten answers, each slightly different than the one that proceeded it.

Sometimes the best strategy is to let the movie do the talking.
Jessica Jones – Trailer
The trailer for Netflix’s Marvel’s Jessica Jones has just dropped, and it’s very psychedelic and…purple. I assume that that has a lot to do with the influence of the Purple Man (David Tennant) on Jessica Jones. He’s a character that has the ability to control people’s actions (if I recall, due to pheromones or some […]
Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season Three – Teaser Trailer
That any creative person would compare the result of the demons that drive them to babies is so common a sentiment that it borders on cliche. The thing is, there’s a reason that a turn of phrase ends up cloying and as well-worn as your favorite pair of jeans. And that’s because it manages to say […]
I Suspect I Know Who Mads Mikkelson Is Playing In Marvel Studios’ Upcoming Doctor Strange

I am not a big fan of DC superheroes, though I am a huge fan of Legos (though to be fair I was weaned on Batman; as I got older my comic preferences shifted). That being said, I enjoyed the somewhat goofy adventures of the Justice League from the cartoon, though I had soft spot for the villains, particularly […]
And Because No One Asked, Here’s More Fantastic Four Reviews…
It’s your money, but there’s probably better ways of spending it than seeing Fantastic Four.

Ant-Man – Review
“Ant-Man Shows That Great Things Come In Small Packages.” Considering how well put together Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man is, it’s a shock that just a few months ago a lot of people were talking about how it would be Marvel Studios’ first misstep. And I can understand–prior to having seen the movie– how one could come […]
