Death Wish (2018) Review: Old Man Punisher

As a person who loves 80s action films Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore and whose favorite comic book character is the Punisher, Death Wish is almost everything I could ask for in a modern action film. I predict another split among the critics and audiences are upon us. Critics will no doubt hate the film for what it represents but speaking for the audiences who saw this with me, it will be hard for you not to root for Willis in his search for vengeance against the thugs who wronged him and boy does he get his revenge. … More Death Wish (2018) Review: Old Man Punisher

Game Night Review: A Hollywood Comedy That’s Actually Funny

Something rare happened this weekend; Hollywood released a comedy that I didn’t hate. Game Night is the story of a newlywed couple whose drive for competition leads them to run a weekly game night at their house. When Max’s (Jason Bateman) brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) comes to town, things get crazy when they set up an interactive mystery game that gets too real after Brooks is kidnapped and the game night crew are now in a race for time to save his life. … More Game Night Review: A Hollywood Comedy That’s Actually Funny

Annihilation Review: Pretentious Smug Garbage

Due to a poor test screening, there were concerns that the film was “too intellectual” and “too complicated” for mainstream audiences…Look I understand you put 55 million dollars behind this, but anytime someone says that a film is “too smart” for audiences, its Hollywood’s condescending way of saying that you are too stupid to understand their vision. … More Annihilation Review: Pretentious Smug Garbage

Black Panther Review: Not A Game Changer, Just A Movie

Under normal circumstances, you would believe that Black Panther is the next step in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to get us to the Avengers: Infinity Wars in less than 3 months. Well, you would be wrong because Black Panther is the most important superhero movie ever made and it’s exactly the movie we need right now in these times…at least that’s what I’ve been told. … More Black Panther Review: Not A Game Changer, Just A Movie

Is #MoveTheNeedle The Time For #Comicsgate To Step Up Or Step Aside?

A new online movement pushed by the Comicsgate community known as #MoveTheNeedle has gained traction.

The 15:17 to Paris Review: Should Have Hired Real Actors

Americana, Guns, Faith, Military, and Islāmic Terror Attacks…five things to guarantee a bad rating on Rotten Tomatoes. All jokes aside, I was skeptical when Director Clint Eastwood announced that he had cast Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone to play themselves in the film The 15:17 to Paris in where they reacted the 2015 Thalys train attack. … More The 15:17 to Paris Review: Should Have Hired Real Actors

The Cloverfield Paradox Review: A Fake Cloverfield Movie

Like many of you, I was watching Superbowl 52 (I refuse to congratulate the city of Philadelphia) and saw the trailer for The Cloverfield Paradox, a film that claims to explain the origins of the 2008 hit film Cloverfield. A secret Netflix exclusive seemed too good to pass up so I decided to do a last-minute review. For those of you who saw this trailer and thought that you were finally going to get the answers to your ten-year-old Cloverfield questions, I’m afraid you have been misled…again. … More The Cloverfield Paradox Review: A Fake Cloverfield Movie
