At first glance, it seems like another Clint Eastwood tough-guy film, a simple tale of an old man and a troubled neighborhood. But beneath that, it’s something much deeper. It’s about redemption, understanding, and the unexpected ways people change each other. Clint Eastwood plays Walt Kowalski, a bitter, aging war veteran who wants nothing more…
Some movies stay with you for their storytelling, others for their visuals, and some just leave you thinking, What did I just watch? Immortals (2011) falls somewhere in between. Directed by Tarsem Singh, this film takes Greek mythology and gives it a distinct visual style—something that looks like a Renaissance painting brought to life, mixed…
Well, now think about a movie that took 12 years to finish because director Richard Linklater wanted to make a movie about growing up and decided it would be interesting to film it using the same actors for all stages of the story.

A lot has been said about the various Sony Spider-adjacent movies. The latest (and reportedly last) of these, Kraven, is no exception.
The trailer is out for James Gunn’s Superman. It’s hard to tell a lot from a small slice, but here are my initial reactions.

I have a long-running policy of avoiding spoilers in my reviews. There will not be any below.
I’m going to talk about an amazing movie that blends science fiction and emotional drama in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat: Frequency (2000). Back in 2000, New Line Cinema released a unique film called Frequency. Directed by Gregory Hoblit, this movie mixes thriller, drama, and sci-fi. It’s a great…
Say what you want about the DC movies, and believe me I know they have their problems, they did a pretty good job with casting in many of them. Gal Godot is a great Wonder Woman, Afleck worked surprisingly well as a world-weary Batman, and Jason Mamoa is very entertaining as Aquaman.
