Is Millie Bobby Brown British? I’m reasonably certain with a name like that that she isn’t, but in her interview with The Wrap she definitely sounds like she’s ‘putting on airs’ though that’s not what I’m writing about today. What I’m referring to is Brown calling the Duffer Brothers ‘Sensitive Sallies’ over their reluctance to […]
I reviewed 2011’s The Green Hornet and while I thought it wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t faithful enough to the television series it was based on (which ran from 1966-1967 and was a spinoff of Batman, which was cancelled a year later). The problem by my reckoning was more due to the writing by Seth Rogen […]
I really like the world that cable was supposed to bring us, namely a gazillion channels, each dedicated to one particular, niche thing. If your thing is horror, there’s a channel for you! If you’re into home repair, we’ve got you covered! Literally a channel for every interest, except not really because cable channels require […]
Last week the trailer dropped for Black Adam, the latest movie from DC Films and it’s amazing, though not for the reasons you might think. It manages to steal iconic moments from various Marvel movie trailers in such a way that’s so blatant that there’s something pretty remarkable – never mind shameless – about it. […]
Apparently Netflix’s Stranger Things 4 suffered a promotional mishap when a Monopoly game based on the series revealed major plot points for the upcoming season. And while that isn’t good for anybody, who’s still watching this show!? As far as I’m concerned it lost steam after its second season never mind the insanity of each […]
I genuinely enjoyed Paramount+’s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (the premiere episode is currently on Youtube) because of the three Star Trek series that have been released thus far – I haven’t seen Star Trek: Picard but if what heard from reviews like Half In The Bag I’m not missing much – but there’s a […]
As if we needed any more evidence that Warner Bros is mismanaging DC Films: A Doctor Strange movie has out-opened Batman, $185 million vs $135 million, after its three-day premiere (from Friday through Sunday). Doctor Strange, a character most people have never heard of prior to his 2016 movie, has out-opened literally one of the […]
According to Box Office Mojo, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore earned just over $334 million worldwide, which is a lot of money till you take into account that it cost $200 million to produce, which makes it a failure, box office-wise (what I like to think of as ‘soft’ failure, in that there’s clearly […]
I’ve been working through a respiratory infection – it isn’t COVID though I imagine it’s just as unpleasant – though I’m trying to get back up to speed and this is as good a place as any to start. You might have heard recently that storied actor Frank Langella was recently fired from Netlflix’s The […]
When movies were released at the height of the pandemic one could easily blame their underperforming on people being leery of catching the virus. Nowadays? COVID is hanging – and mutating – on but economies all over the world seem to be coming back to life, emerging like a bear from deep hibernation. This was […]
