The X-Files: Culturally Speaking

According to the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) is going to launch a reboot of Chris Carter’s The X-Files, a series that ran from 1993-2018 and revolved around two FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) agents tasked with investigating weird and uncanny cases. The series had some great seasons, […]

‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Likely to Finish Theatrical Run In The $800 Million Ballpark

Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is likely to finish its theatrical run somewhere in the ballpark of $800-850 million, which is pretty damn good, though I’m reasonably sure there will be someone who’ll says ‘Black Panther: Wakanda‘ Forever underperformed compared to the first movie.’ And by looking strictly at the numbers, that’s – fairly […]

And that’s entirely possible, though the reasons […]

Review – Avengers: Infinity War

Cargo – Trailer

It appears that the zombie genre has greater legs than anyone might have anticipated  (AMC’s The Walking Dead–despite a ratings decline–still shuffles on while spawning a sequel–Fear The Walking Dead–a somewhat unnecessary admonition) and along the way appears to have discovered a legitimacy few horror genres have had prior. Though that shouldn’t be a surprise […]
