Every December, something strange happens. We say we want to watch something new, scroll for 40 minutes and then somehow end up watching the same old Christmas movie we already know by heart. And honestly? That’s just tradition. Classic Christmas movies are not about surprises. They are about feeling safe, warm and slightly emotional for…
I’m absolutely a fan of the MCU, despite the fact that seems to be getting to be an unpopular stance, so I had some hopes for Fantastic Four: First Steps.
In 1978, Christopher Reeve brought Superman to movie theaters in what many consider the best take on the role. There have been many different takes on the character since then. My personal top three, as of today, are Christopher Reeve, David Corenswet, and Tyler Hoechlin. Superman is back, and acting like the great hero and incredibly caring man many of us adore and prefer. As with all my current movie reviews, I will do my best to remain spoiler free.
Some comedies are just dumb fun and to be honest that’s okay. But this film does something a little different. Sure, it’s filled with crude jokes, inappropriate costumes and ridiculous scenarios, but underneath all that chaos is a movie that’s strangely wholesome. It’s the kind of film that makes you laugh way more than you’d…
As Superman prepares to soar back into theaters, we’re seeing more scenes with some of the supporting characters. Since most of them aren’t the best known, it seemed like a good time to go over who some of them are.
Life has been busy, so I got behind on a few things, including trailers. I recently got a chance to catch up on several of them, so I thought I’d give a run through of what I saw and my reactions. There’s some great looking stuff coming up.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe concludes Phase 5 with its 36th film, Thunderbolts*. A very unlikely group of characters from assorted movies and shows comes to face what they think is a threat before finding out they really don’t know what’s going on at all.
With the movie arriving shortly, I decided to do a quick piece on the Thunderbolts. I’m going to start with several disclaimers. First off, this is about the original comic book Thunderbolts stories, not the movie version of characters. There is no crossover between the membership in the two versions.
Some comic book moments aren’t just memorable, I mean… they redefine everything. The Night Gwen Stacy Died and The Death of Captain Stacy are two of those moments. They didn’t just change Peter Parker’s life; they changed comics forever. These weren’t just superhero stories. They were tragedies, reminders that being Spider-Man wasn’t just about web-slinging…
Brave New World brings the Captain America franchise to its fourth installment, which only Thor has managed to equal. While pretty much all MCU projects are connected to a greater or lesser degree, most of them can also stand alone. I’d argue you could enjoy this movie without having seen the rest of the MCU (although I’m not sure why you’d want to), but it ties most closely to the movies Incredible Hulk, Eternals, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series on Disney+.
