There’re times Nikita’s Argunov’s Koma is a gorgeous movie to look at and the worlds depicted on screen are rendered in a beautiful, almost painterly fashion. Though there are also a few scenes – luckily few – that fall quickly into the uncanny valley, where you can sort of see that there’re more than a […]
James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad premiered Friday with $12 million at the North American box office. By way of comparison, 2016’s Suicide Squad opened with $64 million. That’s a MASSIVE decline and while COVID wasn’t an issue in 2016, neither was WarnerMedia’s streaming platform, HBOMax. This is what happens when a company is willing to […]
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS (MILD THOUGH THEY MAY BE) FOR NETFLIX’S BLOOD RED SKY. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE, WATCH IT AND COME BACK. The vampires of Peter Thorwarth’s Blood Red Sky by my reckoning the best type: Mean, animalistic and defined entirely by a hunger for blood. Preferably human. The movie revolves […]
The trailer for Sony’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife dropped a few days ago, and it’s pretty good looking. Which oddly enough is part of the problem. The trailer seems to be going for a haylcon, small-town feel, which is opposite of what the original movie did. And that’s fine in and of itself but I get the […]
Apparently Scarlett Johansson is suing The Walt Disney Company over the two-pronged release of Black Widow on Disney+ and in theaters. It’s about time someone took a stand on this issue because I don’t think it’s in dispute that making titles available via streaming at the same time they’re released in theaters, it’s the theaters […]
I should have known. I thought Frank Darabont was the only person who had problems with AMC’s accounting practices and that’s obviously not the case. Apparently Robert Kirkman – the creator of The Walking Dead with artist Charlie Adlard – has relaunched his lawsuit against AMC as well, likely spurred on by the $200 million […]
I remember watching He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-1985) as a young person, and at the time I really enjoyed it. Though it hasn’t aged particularly well. And that’s to be expected when you’re dealing with characters designed to appeal mainly to young boys, with names like Stinkor (a skunk-man), Triclops (a man […]
One of the many things that irked me about the brouhaha over Justice League (2017) was that in explanation as to why so many people were seemingly upset with his take on the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) movies his wife and producing partner, Deborah Snyder said something to the effect that what upset fans of […]
I was underwhelmed by Fear Street Part 2: 1978 because it was exactly the same movie as Fear Street Part 1: 1994, except that the cast and location changed (the second movie switched to Camp Nightwing and an earlier time period). And I think that that’s expected if you’re dealing with the typical movie where […]
Let’s say right off that not only don’t I know Mindy Kaling, in fact I have never even seen her before in the real world. That being said, I’m watching Never Have I Ever on Netflix – pretty entertaining show, by the way – but I’ve also noticed that I have seen just one darker-skinned […]
