Men in Black: International could nearly be billed as an alternate-reality version sequel to Thor: Ragnarok. Not only does it see Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson side by side as co-stars again, it’s filled with joke-quipping aliens to the extent that you start to really wish that Taika Waititi’s Korg would put in an appearance. […]

After 2018’s biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, about Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, it seems that it’s time for retrospectives looking into the lives and careers of some of the late 20th-century musical icons. However where  Rhapsody was a super-sanitized and wildly fictionalized account of Mercury’s career, the new Rocketman, starring Taron Egerton as the similarly unique Elton John, is a fantasy-laced full-bore musical that carries far more truth and energy than it’s predecessor. 

So, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is one of those movies that every genre fan wishes would come along. Unfortunately, as every Dungeons & Dragons player knows who came across a way to get a wish – it needs to be carefully spelled out, otherwise you’re likely to get something that’s not quite what you’d […]

We have to agree with first-time director Olivia Wilde’s list of inspiration for her debut film, Booksmart. At first glance, the film (which just released last week) reads like a teen dramady for a select audience, but this just isn’t the case. Perhaps Annapurna didn’t know how to market the damn thing, because it really is a […]

I’ve been often asked about what my review rating scores mean. What’s a 6 vs a 7? Is a 5 a recommend thing or not? Why are critics so negative all the time? I wanted to take some time this holiday weekend to come up with some of my own answers to the questions. One […]

It’s become clear with the changing of the content landscape that Disney has long since abandoned hope of doing what’d it had done for nearly a century – re-releasing their classic films every few years to bring in another round of box office revenues. So instead of still having the originals, we’re stuck with their […]

Leave it to Guardians of the Galaxy’s James Gunn to produce a tight little thriller like ‘Brightburn’. Written by James’ brother Mark and cousin Brian, they take the classic origin story of Clark Kent/Superman, and throw it into a spin that would make Quentin Tarantino proud. It’s wicked, graphically violent, and perfectly solid way to […]

We are very much looking forward to having Captain Marvel available to watch at home anytime we want, not gonna lie. The digital (May 28th) and physical release (June 11th) of the 21st Marvel Studios flick sure looks like it’ll have some pretty great bonus content; six featurettes, a gag reel, and six deleted scenes. Speaking […]

We’re sure everyone else with an outlet, website, video channel and blog are happily clacking away on their own reactions and reviews of the final episode of Game of Thrones, we’re thinking maybe a little more time to digest is needed. But, we’re in the time of immediate need, so, we can’t really do that, and […]
