How Marvel’s Spiderman Fixed the Franchise
How many Spideys have graced (or disgraced) (or Topher Graced) the iconic young superhero on the big screen over the last few decades? This is the THIRD go at it in the modern era — but you probably knew that. How come Tom Holland’s performance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is considered superior? This video…

1st Captain Marvel Trailer Finally Drops – Comments and Speculation
We’ve just seen the first trailer for Captain Marvel, in the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe…and it honestly doesn’t show much. It lasts a little less than two minutes. It shows Brie Larson’s character (Carol Danvers, AKA Captain Marvel) falling to the Earth, and then a variety of nano-scenes flash by. We see some…

Incredibles 2 Poster Looks Like A Marvel Film
I was looking at the poster for the upcoming Incredibles 2 film, and noticed that it looked awfully familiar. And not just because I saw and enjoyed the first Incredibles film in 2004, but because the poster seemed…exactly like a Marvel film. Specifically, one in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, AKA, the MCU. Here’s the poster…

Is Deadpool in the Avengers’ Universe?
It’s established that Deadpool swims in his own little eddy in the great Marvel River. Marvel is a pretty big entertainment property, spanning The X-Men (including Deadpool as their R-rated step-child), the MCU, the comics, and a whole host of related TV shows falling under the franchise’s umbrella. It’s not a free-for-all, though it seems…

Movie Review – Thunderbolts*
—
I’ve been waiting a long time for this type of MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movie. It’s certainly not the best MCU movie, but it has some soul to it, something that has been sorely lacking from every MCU movie since Avengers: Endgame. My impression is that the creators of the recent MCU movies believe the…

Data Analysis of Tom Hanks’s filmography
—
in InfographicTom Hanks has had an illustrious career, and it’s still going strong. He has starred in, by my count, 59 movies over a 40-year career (1984-2024). That’s about 1.5 movies/year. But as much as he’s done, a few things stick out. For instance, he is the definition of A-list movie-star, yet he’s never been in…

Everything you need to know to understand Deadpool & Wolverine if you haven’t seen any MCU or X-Men movies
It’s probably a tad unrealistic for you to watch all 33 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies leading up to this one, which doesn’t even account for the 13 X-Men movies. I’ll try to help you take a shortcut. I’ll put these in order of what I think are the most crucial stories needed to…

Independent Film Review – The Devil Came Home
—
Cards on the table…I’m not a horror fan. To be honest though, that isn’t really a problem with The Devil Came Home. Because, while it is a horror film of the demonic possession sub-genre, it doesn’t bury itself in the interminable tropes that are usually present. Let’s face it, that usually means all manner of…
