This is an odd one because when I learned the title of the latest Saw movie was Spiral: From The Book Of Saw I got vaguely biblical vibes (that’s why in my reaction I kept saying ‘Saul’ instead of ‘Saw’), which considering the subject matter is virtually sacrilegious. Spiral is a reboot of a franchise […]
Fast & Furious 9 as a title just feels awkward to me. Maybe it’s the combination of an ampersand with a number. Though the trailer itself? It’s fucking bonkers. I’ve never been a fan of the Fast & Furious movies but it feels like it’s part of the MCU’s multiverse because the cars and their […]
Vivarium was directed by Lorcan Finnegan, and he happens to be a director I’m familiar with, having seen his 2016 movie, Without Name. Speaking of Without Name, it was okay though the concept when all is said and done was more interesting than the execution. Now Vivarium…this looks interesting! It reminds me vaguely of The […]
Moon Knight is one of my favorite comic characters–that’s my bust on the left–and while I’m glad to hear that the character is getting a bit of love from Marvel, I have to ask if Disney+ is the right place for the character. Moon Knight, like most characters, has gone through various incarnations though interestingly […]
If you’ve seen The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2 and Venom you probably feel that Sony’s treatment of Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man property has not always been up to snuff (and you likely noticed I didn’t include Sam Raimi’s original trilogy, and that was no accident since Raimi essentially did what he wanted with the first two movies; with any mentionable degree […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Derrickson has left Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. The article sites “creative differences (essentially a meaningless term)” and while it seems that that the parting was amicable (Derrickson remains as executive producer), something tells me that the reason for his leaving was his intention […]
Is it just me or is Christopher Nolan one of the most visually unimaginative directors working today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that he’s not good at what he does–I not saying that at all–though what I am saying is that Nolan grounds everything in reality to such a degree that it makes […]
Remember 2018’s A Quiet Place? The movie that–albeit indirectly–brought us Netflix’s Bird Box as well as The Silence? It cost $17 million to produce and earned almost $341 million. There’s no way that it wasn’t getting a sequel though was the original as good as a lot of people seem to think? I’d have to […]
As you’ve probably guessed from my reaction trailer, I think Tom Cruise is an odd dude. I don’t hate him–he seems genuinely like a kind person–but the thing is virtually everything about Cruise is designed (and I use that word deliberately) to create an impressions. He’s almost a person as art and I find that […]
Why does this movie exist? And why is it co-written by Gil Kenan, the same person who graced us with the remake of Poltergeist–another movie that had no reason to be? Say what you will about Ghostbusters 2016, that movie at least had something to say. You may not have agreed with it, but it […]
