It’s been two years since Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures collectively blew our minds with the jaw-dropping post-credit scene from Spider-Man: Far From Home. “Spider-Man’s name is Peter Parker.” Those five words changed the course of the MCU Spider-Man lore forever. Since then, fans and theorists from all over the world have speculated the directions that Peter Parker’s story could have
Read MoreLin Manuel Miranda’s latest film, tick, tick…BOOM! means a lot to me. When I was 14 or 15 years old I started my freshman year of high school online. I spent those subsequent 4 years essentially in solitude, and in hindsight, those years were really helpful in making me who I am today. Introspection quickly made me realize what I wanted
Read MoreBack in 1984, magic was made with the production of the now-beloved film Ghostbusters. For the uninformed, I’d suggest going and watching the episode of Netflix’s show The Movies That Made Us about the production of the film. For the sake of this article, I’ll sum it up in a few words: hectic and improbable. Somehow, they overcame all of their
Read MoreThe latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Eternals, debuted last weekend to mixed critical reception but rave reviews from fans. Although Eternals may be slightly divisive, it’s also the biggest swing the MCU has taken in its 13-year history. Chloé Zhao’s cosmic epic boasts the most diverse cast of any superhero movie and tackles deep themes, pitting a team of
Read MoreSince I’d first heard of Apple TV’s Finch, I’ve been interested. It reminded me of Neill Blomkamp’s 2015 film Chappie, whose last 15 minutes interested me when I caught it on TV once and never watched it again. But when you throw a movie featuring Tom Hanks in front of me, I’m going to eat it up the first chance I
Read MoreThe latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Eternals, was screened at Festa del Cinema di Roma where we were lucky to have a reviewer with access! Here’s his spoiler-free review! Note: this review was written by Luigi Parentela of Universo Cinematografico Marvel. A special thanks to them and ComicsUniverse.it for use of the image above from the event. “Remember…” One word,
Read MoreAt the time of writing this, I’ve seen Denis Villeneuve’s Dune now three and a half times. Dune is a movie that’s affected me and stuck in my thoughts a great deal since first seeing it. I didn’t break down crying as I did with Interstellar, I didn’t come out the other end with a new perspective on life like with
Read MoreWhen a prequel film was announced for Zach Snyder’s Army of the Dead, I thought I knew what to expect. A film set in a world of zombies is most definitely a zombie movie, right? Wrong. Army of Thieves, directed by and starring Matthias Schweighöfer, tells a story set in the early days of the zombie outbreak. However, the story is
Read MoreEvery year when Christmas comes around, I can’t help but use the cash in my pocket to indulge myself and buy some movies. Well, buying so many at one time means that some of them are condemned to sit in my ever-growing collection until I get the random urge to sit down and watch them. That was the case after I
Read MoreDenis Villeneuve is an excellent director and has proven such time and time again. But he’s also a director that likes to take his time, and I can understand why some people lose patience with a film like this. I’m not going to pretend that my first viewing went down easy, it didn’t, but it reminds me a lot of Villeneuve’s
Read MoreI can’t think of a time in my life when I didn’t love the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The film I’m reviewing here came out only 6 months after I was born, so a lot of my childhood was spent in front of the TV viewing and reviewing the various adventures of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann. So,
Read MoreEver since Venom was a smashing success, even hitting 800 million at the box office, I knew that a sequel would be inevitable. I honestly didn’t love the first Venom until recently and wasn’t too excited for a sequel. BUT, that all changed a couple of weeks ago when Fandango’s Erik Davis confirmed on his Twitter that Venom: Let There Be
