Star Trek Movies Lose Both Chrises
Paramount’s rebooted Star Trek movie franchise has a Chris Crisis. Or maybe we should call this A Tale of Two Chrises. As of this week, the current Trek feature films lost both of their actors named Chris — as in Pine (James T. Kirk) and Hemsworth (James T. Kirk’s late father George). Both men reportedly walked…

CBS, on their All-Access subscription streaming channel, will be gifting us a new Star Trek show centered around the beloved Picard character. It’s set to premier in the fall of 2019, to…

RIP Mjölnir – Who Can Lift Thor’s Hammer?
Who could pick up Mjölnir, beloved Hammer of Thor, God of Thunder? Who is considered worthy? What does worthy even mean in this context? This topic is no longer relevant, post-Infinity War, but the immensity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe lends itself to fun lists. So…who besides Thor was able to wield the late, sorely-missed hammer?…

10 Ways Ant Man Could Escape the Quantum Realm
Spoilers for Infinity War, and of course Ant Man & the Wasp…don’t bother reading if you haven’t seen those two movies. This will all be gibberish to you anyway if you’re not up to date. Onward… So, that ending in Ant Man 2. It’s nice that Scott Lang finally has a superhero partner, and an…

Movie Review – Alpha
—
Alpha blew me away. This movie was amazing. There are a ton of points I want to make, but I’m going to hit upon the ones that I think may sway your decision to go see it, otherwise we’ll be here all day. First up, there is violence against animals. If this bothers you, it…

Movie Review – Mile 22
—
Mile 22 fails on every level that an action movie can fail, and then makes up some new ways to fail. But wait, there’s good news: the Russian government is the bad guys again. Yeah! (More on that later.) This entire movie feels like the first 30 minutes of a much better movie. Meaning: they…

Movie Review – Crazy Rich Asians
—
Crazy Rich Asians is a beautifully done trip to Singapore with a gaggle of interesting people. Each main character gave us a guided tour into their lives, and how it shaped their future. Even though we didn’t see or hear much of the back story of Piek Lin Goh (played by Awkwafina), she did have…

Movie Review – Slender Man
—
Over a year. Seriously, I have been waiting for this movie for over a year now. With the amount of material available on the internet about Slender Man it should have provided the writers and makers of this movie infinite ideas. The final cut was lacking in almost every aspect. It starts off okay. Not…

Movie Review – The Meg
I’m mulling over The Meg. It was a ton (er, rather, several tons) of fun, but after having viewed the original Jaws this week, my expectations are a bit high. I also have high expectations for movies with dinosaurs and other ‘real’ animals (as opposed to ‘monsters’). Megalodon was a real shark, and an ancient…
