For most of us out there the fate of the Marvel Netflix shows seemed pretty up in the air. After Disney announced its own streaming service, the second seasons failed to attract the massive cultural buzz that the first seasons did, and when...
Joel Cornish, the wonderful human who brought us Attack the Block, is back to his antics of young people saving the world, and it looks pretty wonderful. The Kid Who Would Be King is the kind of film I would normally roll my eyes at as a q...
The DCEU is pretty much at a standstill. Sure, we've got Aquaman coming out, but with Cavill's Superman up in the air, Shazam! seeming to play mostly on its own, Batman development focusing on his early years, and Wonder Woma...
The big question last week was whether or not Venom's above-expectation box office would carry over to next week. Predictions were for a pretty solid drop considering the poor reviews and only OK audience reception. Those predictions were w...
Genre deconstruction is awesome when done right. When it's done wrong it comes across as trite, like the filmmaker doesn't actually understand the very genre they want to take apart. However, when it's done right you get films that help def...
Gareth Evans (not to be confused with the also talented Gareth Edwards) is easily one of the best action directors working. The Raid and The Raid 2 are, to put it simply, action masterpieces. His use of space, innovative filming t...
The scariest child in cinematic history is Miko Hughes ("that kid" from the '90s) in the original Pet Semetary. Screw that kid and his terrorizing of my childhood dreams. It looks, however, like there's a new host of creepy children set to...
Ruby Rose is flying into Vancouver, the location they shoot all the CW shows, today so the network is dropping our first look at her as Batwoman. As you can see the costuming is both in line with the Arrowverse designs and her comic book&nb...
It's almost time! We're quite near the end-of-summer movie slump (though, there's been some great stuff these past few months) and rolling right on into the wonderous movie time that is the end of the year. There's the horror of Octobe...
The dire reviews seem to have done nothing to keep folks away from Venom over the weekend as it pulled in $80 million, breaking the opening weekend record for October by around $25 million (set by Gravity in 2013). For what it's worth, I th...
It is really easy to tear Venom apart. There are a myriad of issues with it from casting to screenplay to plotting to... well, everything. Superhero movies have come a long way in the past ten years, and Venom feels like it learne...
OK, folks. Ready? We're going to talk about Star Wars. Jon Favreau, he who ignited the entire MCU with Iron Man and just generally makes good stuff, is working on a live-action Star Wars TV show for Disney's new streaming service....
First Blood was not a movie meant to have four sequels. The original Rambo movie was more of a character study with a heavy focus on PTSD, America after the war, and a striking performance from Stallone. Then the rest of the movies hap...
Video game movies based on actual games generally suck, but oddly movies about video games, but not based on one, turn out pretty good (ignore Rick's opinion, it was good). So I'm semi-excited to hear that Ryan Reynold's has signed on to pl...
After years of slides and doubts and articles about the death of movie theaters, people seem to be coming back into the overly air-conditioned fold and plopping their butts back in those new fully reclinable seats. This year had some stella...
Look, I know that comic book movie news often takes little quotes and blows them out of proportion, and maybe this information from Gambit producer Simon Kinberg is just that, so I'm going to start by letting his quote speak for itself...
The fact that's there's a Tod Browning's Freaks reference in Smallfoot doesn't really say all that much about the movie. It's not actually crammed full of clever comedy for adults, or secretly hiding darker themes than what appears. I ...
When we learned that Creed II would be about Ivan Drago's son challenging Adonis Creed's son to rematch I rolled my eyes so hard I got bruises like Rocky after a match. That kind of plot sounded straight out of the later Rocky fi...
I have yet to see the Korean film Train to Busan, but it's in my pile of "must watch" movies as the idea of a bunch of people stuck on a train during a zombie outbreak is pretty awesome, and there must be a reason it was an internation...
The first Kingsman was a fresh smack in the face to James Bond films. Taking everything that was fantastic about the comic book and reflecting it on screen in smart and creative ways that highlighted Matthew Vaughn's screenplay and directio...
In a shocking move unheard of in cinematic history, movie-going audiences this weekend went to see the good movies, giving The House with a Clock in Its Walls a better-than-expected opening and propelling A Simple Favor up into th...
MGM and Orion are rolling forward with much haste on their reboot of the Child's Play franchise. Production started this week and with that, we have our first look at the new Chucky. He looks like Chucky, but a bit updated an...
You know what a lot of kids movies lack these days (I ask while waving my cane in the air at a cloud)? Charm. There's some amazing stuff going on for sure, but that certain "charming" characteristic is often missing. Maybe it's because chil...
I think we all knew this was coming, though I've got a strong argument for why it shouldn't, but Bob Iger, Disney's CEO, confirmed in an interview with THR that the X-Men will be housed under the Marvel umbrella once the Fox merger goes thr...
Every comment section. Every single one. If the article is even tangentially related to Star Wars then the entire comment section turns into a debate on the franchise. The one thing that seems nearly unanimous in all these "...
