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 […]
The teaser for Marvel Studios’ Black Widow dropped early this morning, and it’s glorious though what I mentioned in my video is worth repeating, namely Black Widow will likely avoid what I like to call ‘The Charlie’s Angels Misstep.’ By which I mean you make an action film designed with a laser-like focus to appeal […]
The last film in the 22 movie Marvel Cinematic Universe ended with Avengers: Endgame, and it’s a spectacular and fitting ending filled to bursting–did I mention it’s just over three hours–with humor, drama and pathos. As I discuss in my video, I believe Endgame is less impactful than Avengers: Infinity War, and that’s shouldn’t be […]
I’m officially embargoing the DCEU–like the Sony movies, beyond Spider-Man in the MCU, that is. I might rent them but I won’t pay to see them in theaters–because in the case of the former I’m tired of the randomness of the movies they’re producing. And I’m not even a huge fan but when there’s talk […]
It’s been estimated that Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel will bow somewhere in the ballpark $100 million. By way of comparison–because let’s be honest: You knew it was coming–DC Films’ Wonder Woman had a $105 million debut, so all signs point to Captain Marvel surpassing it. It’s worth mentioning that Captain Marvel is likely to be […]
It’s been revealed by Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, that the title of the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel will be Spider-Man: Far From Home. And I genuinely have a problem with that because one way I interpreted the title of the first movie was as a return of Spider-Man back to where he belongs (never […]
I just read an article about how Zach Snyder’s plans for the DCEU were supposedly so “epic, grand, emotional, joyful and unforgettable” which bothers me more than a little bit because we’re hearing more about Snyder’s plans for this and intentions for that now than when Justice League was actually in theaters. As I have […]
The less said aboutthe particulars of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War the better but know it rewards fans over casual viewers. That’s not to say that if you haven’t seen all 18 of the prior MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movies you won’t enjoy it, though if you haven’t seen any Infinity War isn’t a great […]
Have I mentioned I really hope Ruben Fleicher’s Venom fails? Why so negative, you might ask? Well, I’ll tell you. Fleisher (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) is a competent director, so my issue isn’t with him. And it’s certainly not with Tom Hardy, who appears to be an actor that willing to do his best for a […]
If Justice League left you a bit underwhelmed, Marvel Studios has the perfect holiday gift! The teaser trailer for Avengers: Infinity War premieres tomorrow (and while I still think a teaser for a trailer is a dopey idea the trend didn’t start with this movie, and isn’t likely to end anytime soon)! Avengers: Infinity War […]
