As of the time I'm starting this post, I have not yet seen Venom, although I do plan on seeing it eventually. I originally wanted no part of it but now my curiosity has been piqued. My reason to avoid it was the same as most other people who weren't for it all this time, … Continue reading Venom and Pre-hating on things
Movie Review – Avengers: Infinity War
This really isn't just one movie. It's the culmination of a 10 year endeavor that began with a gamble on a troubled Hollywood actor in Robert Downey Jr. and that making good movies that people enjoyed would overcome having to rely on B and C list characters from the Marvel Comics roster. It's also the … Continue reading Movie Review – Avengers: Infinity War
Movie Review – Black Panther
Black Panther is the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and the last movie before Infinity War comes out this May. But like Wonder Woman last year it bears a special significance above and beyond just being a cool movie we wanted to see. It's not the first superhero movie with a Black … Continue reading Movie Review – Black Panther
Movie Review – Atomic Blonde
Atomic Blonde is based on the Graphic Novel series The Coldest City, and centers around MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) and her mission to find out who killed one of her fellow agents and successfully transport an informant carrying a list of undercover agents in the field. The film was another attempt at getting … Continue reading Movie Review – Atomic Blonde
Retro Movie Review – Lucy
Note: This is a review I did at my old blog and migrated here. I updated the original one after rewatching the movie a few times since it's original release. Lucy is a different kind of movie. It's part action, part science fiction, part supernatural thriller. It's about a college student named Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) … Continue reading Retro Movie Review – Lucy
Movie Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming
Let me start off by saying I really didn't want this movie to be made. I wanted the Andrew Garfield run to get one more movie and a proper finish, and then they could do whatever they wanted to fit the character into the MCU. So in viewing and reviewing this, I'm admittedly not starting … Continue reading Movie Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming
Movie Review – Captain America: Civil War
Synopsis The UN wants to reel in the Avengers after a mission goes somewhat awry when Scarlet Witch doesn't quite control her powers during a fight. Using that and the damage/casualties from previous Avengers big fights as justification, they draft the Sokovia Accords (named after the country the team fought Ultron over in Age of … Continue reading Movie Review – Captain America: Civil War
Tapping Out on Trailers
So we got a Dr. Strange trailer yesterday....no wait, that was the teaser trailer not the actual first trailer. And a few days earlier we got the third (Or is fourth? I don't even know anymore) trailer for Civil War and the third or fourth trailer for Suicide Squad. And that's after the first trailer … Continue reading Tapping Out on Trailers
Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
Let me start this off by stating very clearly....THIS IS MY OPINION. If you have a different one, that's perfectly fine. I'm saying that because I have seen way too many 'if you like Dawn of Justice, you're a moron!' takes ever since the reviews started coming in. It takes a whole lot for me … Continue reading Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice
OK, I'm back from seeing Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. I'm not giving a full blown review here because I'm going back next weekend to see it again. If you're dying to know what I think (of course you are, or you wouldn't be joining the two or three other people who are reading … Continue reading A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice
