As we stand one week away from the world wide release of Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Studios’ Nineteenth film of this franchise, I’ve conducted a Road to Infinity War Marathon: watching all the movies from the MCU before the third installment in the Avengers series. While some movies haven’t aged as well as I thought,Continue reading “10 Years of Superheroes: My look back on the Marvel Cinematic Universe”

‘Ready Player One’: a thrilling sci-fi popcorn fantasy that honors the youth in us all.
Steven Spielberg. The measuring stick of directors, both current and aspiring, has been celebrated for his mastery behind the camera. At one time or another, someone has watched a Spielberg film. Besides his more adult-themed movies such as Saving Private Ryan, Lincoln, and Schindler’s List, the 71-year old has stoked the imagination with The AdventuresContinue reading “‘Ready Player One’: a thrilling sci-fi popcorn fantasy that honors the youth in us all.”
Wands at the Ready! First ‘Fantastic Beasts’ teaser trailer has arrived.
It’s time to dust off those old Hogwarts robes and wands. The call has gone out to return to the Wizarding World as the first action-packed teaser trailer for the Fantastic Beasts sequel, The Crimes of Grindelwald, has been released.
Disney’s ‘Christopher Robin’ reintroduces an adult with a childhood friend.
As we grow up, we shed pieces of our childhood away. The child grows up into an adult, taking on responsibilities and, sometimes, forgetting the purity and joy of running around the playground or talking to imaginary friends. There are some cases where our inner child is contained and protected deep inside our soul, shieldedContinue reading “Disney’s ‘Christopher Robin’ reintroduces an adult with a childhood friend.”
‘Annihilation’ is a thinking person’s sci-fi film with annoying loose ends.
I’m no stranger to smart sci-fi films. One of my first genres that made me fall in love with films was science fiction (it was Star Wars so some fantasy is mixed in). After getting through Arrival, I didn’t think I would encounter a smart but weird sci-fi film. Then I walked into Annihilation.
Jennifer Lawrence’s weapons of espionage and seduction defend a lukewarm ‘Red Sparrow’
American democracy is under siege from our old foe once again, putting the world in a sequel to the Cold War. If there was a movie that has come at the right time, it would be Red Sparrow. If only it was a better movie that I could talk about after it was over.
‘Game Night’ is an entertaining take on the murder mystery with guaranteed laughs.
While films like Black Panther rule the box office, there are other movies that have released that you should notice. One such film takes a social get-together that takes place in bars and family living rooms to a whole new level. With the help of comedic veterans like Jason Bateman and newcomers to the bigContinue reading “‘Game Night’ is an entertaining take on the murder mystery with guaranteed laughs.”
‘Black Panther’ claims its throne with style, a stellar cast, and rich storytelling.
After much hype, advertisement, television spots, and a stellar 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes (if you want to rate the movies you see from critics), the Marvel Cinematic Universe unleashed its newest film. And this superhero film exceeds expectations.
Tom Hardy looks to face his demons in ‘Venom.’
As a comic book fan, one of my favorite heroes is Spider-Man. While he can join any hero team, he’s on his own a lot. When you are a singular hero, you have your own Rogues Gallery of villains and anti-heroes to go against. One of the most famous is the other side of theContinue reading “Tom Hardy looks to face his demons in ‘Venom.’”
Meet Cable and more fourth-wall breaking in new ‘Deadpool 2’ trailer
Ryan Reynolds really knows how to sell us on a movie that he believes in. In 2016, Reynolds brought a passion project to life by giving us an honest-to-God comic-book hero for adults with Deadpool. Fully redeeming the atrocious display that we saw in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he made audiences laugh as the indestructible, red spandexContinue reading “Meet Cable and more fourth-wall breaking in new ‘Deadpool 2’ trailer”
