How I Came To Love Guardians Of The Galaxy
There are certain films that hook you from the very first time you see the poster, let alone the trailer, and there are those that you really struggle to see why they bothered. For me that spectrum ran from “Leon” (BIG fan of Luc Besson) down to “Dangerous Liaisons,” which I’ve sat in front of…

Marvel Phase 4 reset almost all of their release dates
In an alternate reality where that one bat in Wuhan China zigged left instead of right, we’d be going to see the new Black Widow movie on May 1st, 2020. Alas, that’s not how things turned out. In this reality, where everything has been turned inside out, we’ll have to wait until November 6th of…

The Most Anticipated Science Fiction & Fantasy Shows of 2020

I had a lot of anticipation in 2019 for the new Terminator film, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Men in Black International, Zombieland 2, and Jumanji 3. All let me down in some way. They weren’t fails…

Movie Review – Spider-Man: Far from Home – Fun, but a little underwhelming
I liked Spider-Man: Far From Home. I liked it a lot. But I didn’t love it, and that surprised me. I adore Tom Holland‘s version of Spider-Man, and think he’s the best Peter Parker ever done, no question. (Notice how this sidesteps Miles Morales‘ stunning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse quite nicely.) And every appearance…

Life on Earth After Avengers: Endgame (Post-post Snap)
NOTE: Spoilers start right away for Avengers: Endgame. Although it’s a beautiful moment in Avengers: Endgame when Dr. Strange‘s portals opened and The Vanished step back into existence, the sudden return of all these people is very problematic. Let’s assume for a minute Strange’s sorcerers planned ahead and saved all the people in planes from…

Avengers: Endgame – What was that hammer sound in the credits?
Did you stay to the very bitter end of Endgame? There’s some speculation about what that hammer sound was at the end of the credits in Avengers: Endgame. Is it something we’ll find out in an upcoming movie? Could be. But that hammering-on-metal audio clip sure does sound a lot like this scene from Iron…
