No…? Though to prove it is people typically bring up movies like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) not doing as well as the first movie – and financially speaking that’s true, except when you take into account that not only had the lead, Chadwick Boseman, died in 2020 and the sequel not only didn’t replace […]
Warner Bros/New Line’s Black Adam dropped Friday in the United States, opening with a $26.8 million haul, not too shabby considering a projected $62.2 opening weekend. Now here’s the problem. Most superhero movies have a second week drop-off – let’s roll with that $62.2 million weekend opening estimate (at the end of the day actual […]
The teaser trailer for Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is pretty amazing, primarily because it doesn’t appear that the upcoming movie will ignore the death of Chadwick Boseman – who played T’Challa/Black Panther – who died of colon cancer in 2020. Though another thing of interest is that the movie serves as the introduction […]
Alex Proyas’ fantastical Gods Of Egypt isn’t nearly as bad as a lot of it’s detractors would like you to think it is (though it’s also not nearly as good as it should have been). One criticism you hear a lot is that the movie is white-washed–and at first glance that may appear a valid […]

Though what I find infinitely more interesting is when a movie’s special effects are so seamless that I don’t know that what I happen to be looking at is a special […]
Oh. My. God. Where to begin…first off, what the hell is this? Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) latest indulgence? A S.H.I.E.L.D. base of operations replacing the destroyed Triskelion from Captain America: The Winter Soldier? I have no idea. Then there’s this: Yes, that’s the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) outrunning a speeding Audi. The reason being, the car was […]
Team Cap Trailer I have to admit that I am warming up to the whole “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” chant (and for editorial purposes I also admit that I am all about Team Cap, despite that the awesome-looking Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) is on Team Iron Man). In commemoration to the trailer that’s going […]
A lot of people are jazzed about Star Wars: The Force Awakens (illustrated by millions in advance ticket sales), Suicide Squad or maybe Superman v. Batman: Dawn of Justice and I understand the enthusiasm. I really do, but for me, the trailer for the must see movie for 2016 dropped late yesterday, and that’s Captain America: Civil War. […]
