A Brief History of The Invisible Man
Leigh Whannell’s remake of The Invisible Man hits theaters on February 28. It should be interesting. Whannell was one of the writers and actors in Saw. Production company Blumhouse is behind Happy Death Day and The Purge series. This is the first attempt at doing anything interesting with the character of the Invisible Man on…

Movie Review: A Star Wars Ewok Adventure – Caravan of Courage
Because I’m a masochist completist, I decided to watch everything Lucasfilm put out about Star Wars. Even if it sucks. I’ve got the atrocious yet fun Star Wars Holiday Special under my belt, plus The Battle for Endor (just bad bad bad), and now mockumentary Return of the Ewok (terrible production values, but enjoyable). RunPeep…

How to be quiet watching A Quiet Place 2
When I watched A Quiet Place in 2018, it was a movie EVENT. No one knew how good this film was going in, but the audience quickly realized that they had to be absolutely silent, or get killed by the deadly critters who can’t see, but will hunt you if they hear you. Or rather,…

Harley Quinn Adventures You May Have Missed
Birds of Prey And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn comes out on February 7. I, for one, cannot wait to see Margo Robbie return as the clown princess of crime. I’ve loved the character Harley Quinn since I first saw the episode “Mad Love” on Batman: The Animated Series. If you’re a Harley…

Is Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey a Sequel, Soft Reboot, or a Standalone Movie?
Margot Robbie reprises her standout role from Suicide Squad as Harley Quinn, epic psychotic ex-lover of the Joker. But is this a continuation of 2016’s Suicide Squad, or a soft reboot of the popular character with the same actress? How will this fit into the upcoming Suicide Squad 2, helmed by the beloved James Gunn?…

First View Movie Review: Star Wars – the Battle for Endor
Because I’m a crazy geek and want to understand all the canon Star Wars material out there, I decided to view all the ‘extra’ shows and movies Lucasfilm created, some of which may or may not be part of the larger narrative. Have you seen The Mandalorian yet? It’s amazing. Have you seen The Star…
