Sony is an interesting studio as of late. While Universal is busy piling money in a pile–and burning it–producing stinkers likes Cats and Dolittle Sony is apparently on a tear, following up Jumanji: The Next Level, Zombieland: Double Tap with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and most recently, Bad Boys for Life (which isn’t […]
To paraphrase Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. DC Universe, the streaming channel dedicated to all things DC Comics, is finished. There’s been no announcement to that effect, but the writing’s on the wall. First Swamp Thing was cancelled before it’s first EPISODE! And now Stargirl, a new series coming to DC Universe, […]
The final trailer for Brightburn dropped yesterday, and I’m genuinely curious about the movie because I get the feeling that Zach Snyder really wished he could have treated his version of Superman in a similar fashion. Though that’s not quite fair because hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is and that was the Snyder’s […]
This is an awesome trailer! It doesn’t say that this is a Mirror Universe Superman story but the character actually wears a red cape at one point! You can tell where it’s going but it’s those similarities that make it interesting. I also hope Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster get a credit because while Blackburn […]
I haven’t seen Aquaman in theaters–despite it featuring one of my favorite characters, Black Manta–because, as far as the DCEU (or whatever they choose to call it) I’m done. Under ‘creative genius’ Zach Snyder I felt that there was so little faith in these characters that they were Batman and Superman in name only. Yet […]
I have never read The Witcher novels by Andrzej Sapkowski though they’ve built quite the following. They’ve also been spun off into video games, which appear to be equally as popular as the novels, if not more so. Now the character is being ported to television, with a series starring Henry Cavill, fresh off of […]
This is an AMAZING trailer on so many levels. First off, it reads as a retelling of the Superman origin story, which can’t be an accident. Though what’s even more interesting is that it reads as if said origin were reinterpreted by Zach Snyder. I honestly don’t know what to think about it, except […]
I’ve never been a fan of Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s not a bad movie more than a narratively muddy one that never quite comes clear. Though there are some moments you can see the potential of the character shine through–such as what I like to call the ‘bully’ scene–but on the whole doesn’t […]
Apparently, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Henry Cavill is out as Superman. There are quite a few reasons stated (scheduling issues, problems negotiating a cameo in Warner Bros upcoming Shazam!, delays in ramping up a sequel to 2013’s Man of Steel, etc) and while–if this is true because it bears repeating that this is not […]
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 […]
