When The Batman was released last month I had no hope for this movie. I was sick of The Long Halloween storyline and I had no faith in Robert Pattinson or DC. I’m so happy that I was proved wrong and it has quickly become my favorite comic book and favorite movie ever. I loved it so much that I saw
Read MoreMatt Reeves’ The Batman is one of my favorite movies that I’ve ever seen: point blank period. In a franchise with at least ten movies and a sub-genre as saturated as comic book movies, it’s hard to imagine reinventing the wheel to such a degree that The Batman achieves, but boy, do they ever achieve it. With a stunning visual style, unique take on a
Read MoreOn Friday morning, Dwayne Johnson opened Super Bowl weekend with a 60-second trailer featuring clips and footage from every DC film expected to release in 2022. We got some rehashed (but still exciting) footage from The Batman, got a couple of new shots from Black Adam and The Flash, and our first bits of footage from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Read MoreSometimes the sweeter things in life are worth a wait and while Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka is still a year out, this week we uncovered multiple Scrumdiddlyumptious pieces of news to share. Plot details revelations so shocking that the famous chocolatier himself would be enticed to package and sell it! Now, this film is a bit interesting as it’s entirely set BEFORE
Read MoreThe Matrix franchise has always had a certain vibe about it. A kind of “Hell yes, this is awesome!” feeling that makes it hard to not enjoy yourself while you watch. I don’t know if it was the green tint, the incredible action, Laurence Fishburne waxing philosophical for six hours, or just some kind of Wachowski magic touch that Lana and
Read MoreIn a world absolutely flooded with Superhero and comic book-based films and series it’s hard to stand out. Some things just feel derivative and played out but there are always a few diamonds in the rough. Now I’m not saying comic book-based media is bad, we may very well be entering the golden age of that genre, but none of them
Read MoreAfter 3 years of waiting, I’ve finally been blessed to get my hands on the first 3 episodes of the animated series, Blade Runner: Black Lotus. This is the third installment and premiere television series in what could now be considered the “Blade Runner franchise.” While the promotion and trailers left me conflicted, I went in with an open mind. That
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 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 MoreFor me, Rick and Morty season 4 had been a bit of a muddled mess. It contained some of my favorite episodes of the series with “The Vat of Acid Episode” and “The Old Man and the Seat,” but simultaneously had some of my least favorite episodes like “Childrick of Mort” and “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri.” Well, Rick and
Read More★★★★ / ♥♥♥♥ The Suicide Squad directed by James Gunn is the latest adventure of the Suicide Squad introduced by David Ayer in 2016. Keeping few of the original roster, the new film features an all-star cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, John Cena, David Dastmalchian, Peter Capaldi, the voice of Sylvester Stallone, and cameos galore. The
Read MoreIn June of 1997, when Harry Potter’s first outing was published and the Wizarding World entered our lives, everything was much simpler. I, for one, was much less stressed than I am now (mainly because I wasn’t quite born yet). In the years following, the series bloomed with multiple subsequent books and a hyper-successful movie franchise. However, sometimes people just don’t
