I have to admit, I had no idea what to expect when I went in to see ALITA. Admittingly the initial teaser didn’t instill me with a lot of confidence, it with it’s funky eyes.
But I have to say, I really enjoyed this movie! Continue reading REVIEW: ‘ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL’
I love Jennifer Garner. Well, I more accurately, I have been in love with Jennifer Garner since ALIAS. Well, since ALIAS seasons 1-3… when season 4 aired… yea, that starts a whole other conversation, and we don’t have time to go down that rabbit hole. Continue reading REVIEW: ‘Peppermint’
The Spider-Man franchise has definitely been hit-miss since Sony Pictures got the license. Thankfully SPIDER-MAN HOMECOMING was delightful… but even still, wasn’t sure what to make of INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE when trailers first broke. Don’t get me wrong, the trailers looked amazing, but with the franchise’s fractured history under Sony, definitely was a little hesitant to get my hopes up. Continue reading REVIEW: ‘SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE’
Man, I haven’t really been a Nic Cage fan since the ‘90s. But when the trailer for MANDY was released… Well, one, NO IDEA what I just watched and two, I thought something I didn’t think I would think since the ‘90s, Nic Cage you have my attention.
But if you haven’t heard of MANDY, check out the trailer here. Continue reading REVIEW: ‘MANDY’
So I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors by now the Lucasfilms has decided to put any future STAR WARS spin-off movies on-hold. Supposedly due to the lackluster box-office for SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY.

So it always seems like a rule with genre movies, that for a sequel, you go BIGGER than the first. And DEADPOOL 2 delivers BIG in the most glorious fashion!
Okay, let’s be honest, you’re gonna see this movie no matter what I say. And really, I would be the same way if I were in your shoes. Haha. BUT let me see if I can’t give you a spoiler-free review on AVENGERS | INFINITY WAR…
It’s funny, I don’t think I would regard myself as part of a specific political party. But I most definitely vote for a party/candidate that is in most in-line with my concerns and beliefs. It just happens to be Democrat more often than not.
That said, this current administration is scary, horrifying and dangerous. And I definitely look to comedians for more insight into the news. I know that sounds absolutely insane. But I would definitely argue that shows like THE DAILY SHOW, among others, do more research than national & local news outlets.
Which brings me to John Oliver.
You know, I really hate the term, “heady”, when describing something a little more substantive than other, in this case, movies. But, for lack of a better term, ANNIHILATION is definitely a “heady” sci-fi movie. Of course, I wouldn’t expect anything less from writer/director Alex Garland.
But here’s the thing, I’ve always felt like I’ve been pretty good with coming away with something from something like a heady movie. Especially with Garland’s work. Whether it be his previous directing effort, EX MACHINA, or the copious amounts of screenplays he’s written. Safe to say I’m definitely a fan of the creative.
Let’s be honest, if you’re a fan of Marvel movies, or comics in general, chances are you’ve already seen this movie. And, again, let’s be honest, you know you LOVED IT! I know I definitely did.
But this review is more for the movie fans who might consider comic book movies not necessarily their thing. And to them, I would offer, this is definitely worth going to the theatre to see!
