Yes, we know there have been several Avengers: Endgame spoiler-free reviews already this week, and you’ll probably get at least two more from us here at Bleeding Cool. We just REALLY want to talk about the film, but also DON’T want to be that friend who inadvertently ruins the experience for you. So how does one talk […]

Whether Avengers: Endgame wound up being the best superhero film of all time, or something as horrid as Age of Ultron, there is no debating that this crowning entry into the 22-film franchise is an event. There’s few other entries in cinematic history that are as awaited with this much anticipation – Star Wars: The […]

Any horror fan has seen at least one or two films where a possessed human fights against monsters to keep them under control and contained within them (it’s that whole good vs. evil within us metaphor for beginners); unfortunately it’s also a perfect analog to the new reboot of ‘Hellboy’. Somewhere inside is a really […]

Every year it seems we’re faced with the premise that some studio is going to drop an adaptation of one or more of Stephen King’s stories. This time it’s back to a new version of his 1983 novel Pet Sematary with a script by authors Jeff Buhler (Nightflyers) and David Kajganich (Suspiria) from a story by […]

It was back in 2014 that Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi brought their small-budget indie film, What We Do In The Shadows, to Sundance. Their unique spin on a spoof of MTV’s venerable Real World format of a documentary crew following around a set of housemates and chronicling their mundane dramas was novel by its […]

With each generation of horror films, there are different levers that filmmakers pull on to make us cringe and jump. Jordan Peele’s newest film, Us, leans further into the horror genre than his freshman directorial outing, 2017’s Get Out. As with Get Out, Peele’s ability to craft a scene that looks like a normal, upper-middle […]

Over the past 11 years, we’ve all sat through twenty films which together make up Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. However for as many of these films as we’ve seen, they’re just as often able to make an audience feel like there’s something new being explored. It’s hard to imagine that it was only a year ago […]

Fighting With My Family, the new origin-story chronicling the real-life rise of Saraya-Jade Bevis to become WWE superstar Paige, is something entirely unexpected – a wonderful, well-performed, self-assured, success. Drawing a direct parallel to the film from professional wrestling isn’t entirely off-base: it tells a story that’s not entirely true (things are embellished and over-emphasized for […]

Sure, traditional superheroes have successfully  made the leap from comics to  the big screen, however when it comes to manga, the success rate has been more subdued. I’m thrilled to say that while Alita: Battle Angel is unlikely to threaten Blade Runner on anyone’s top films list- it’s a vibrant universe, well-paced, action-filled, and a fine […]
