Walter Hamada Leaves as Head of DC Films!

Remember when I wrote that Walter Hamada wasn’t long for the head of DC Films last September? I was right because while I didn’t name the circumstances under which he would leave the post, leave it he did and from the outside looking in it’s fairly obviously why: He had no idea what he was […]

Review – Avengers: Endgame (2019)

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 […]

Shazam! – Official Trailer #2 – Trailer Into Reaction

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 […]

Captain Marvel Anticipating a Marvelous Debut

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 […]

You Can’t Be Missed If You Won’t Go Away

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 […]

Review – Avengers: Infinity War

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 […]

Venom – Official Teaser Trailer

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 […]
