Rocketman made me unbearably angry at Bohemian Rhapsody all over again. Dexter Fletcher directed both, picking up the reigns on the Queen biopic after continual problem child Bryan Singer was fired by Fox, steering the ego-driven ship to an incredible audience and critical response, nabbing a multitude of awards (like Emmys, BAFTAs, and the Oscar for Best […]

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 […]

Godzilla: King of the Monsters is perhaps one of the best monster-centric fight films we’ve had in YEARS. Maybe decades. The sound design alone is phenomenal, especially when paired with a score that makes the pillars tremble. The film picks up after 2014’s Godzilla from director Gareth Edwards, and roughly 30 years after Kong: Skull Island by Jordan […]

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 […]

Anytime James Gunn produces something, we’re always interested, and Brightburn sort of had us on board from the get-to. That’s not to give him too much credit, as the script was handled by two OTHER Gunns- Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn– and David Yarovesky handled directing duties. https://youtu.be/Z0391pRUFIY Advertised as a “What if Superman were evil” pitch (seriously, […]

Heading into the third film in the John Wick franchise, it’s a refreshing kind of sequel – one that knows exactly what is expected out of it, and it takes a perverse relish serving it up the same way that Wick himself serves up point blank headshots.  John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, hits the […]

For as much as popular culture loves the classic fantasy works of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, and so many others, little focus have ever been placed on the author behind the worlds that has captivated readers (and viewers) for nearly a […]

It’s been with trepidation that fans of Pokémon have been awaiting the arrival of the first live-action adaptation of the mega-franchise to the big screen. From the first images of Pokémon: Detective Pikachu’s screen-version of Pikachu as a furry and learning that it would be Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds giving the little yellow guy his […]
