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
Movie Review – 12 Rounds 3: Lockdown
12 Rounds 3: Lockdown is the third installment in an ongoing movie series from WWE Studios. The three movies aren't related, and each one stars a different WWE wrestler (the first one starred John Cena and the second one Randy Orton). And this one departed from the premise of the first two - the hero … Continue reading Movie Review – 12 Rounds 3: Lockdown

My NWA Experience
Straight Outta Compton comes out this weekend, and like a lot of people my memories of NWA's emergence are being rekindled as the trailer is getting played over and over this week and the main subjects of the film are doing the usual opening weekend press for a new movie. What I remember most about … Continue reading My NWA Experience
Mediocre Movie Review – The Marine
It's time for another Mediocre Movie Review. This time we are crossing genres with The Marine, starring WWE wrestler John Cena. The Marine came out in 2006, made a little money in the theater and then a enough in the home video market to turn a profit. The running time is a pretty quick 90 … Continue reading Mediocre Movie Review – The Marine
Mediocre Movie Reviews: Star Wars Episode One
Star Wars: Episode One........oh boy, where do I start. So much promise, so much fail. After sixteen years of waiting we finally got another Star Wars movie. We were all so pumped for it....and we were mostly disappointed. I remember going in the theater ready for the awesome and coming out just thinking "was that … Continue reading Mediocre Movie Reviews: Star Wars Episode One
Did Blade Save Comic Book Movies?
Over the weekend I read, but didn't participate in, a Twitter discussion over whether or not X-Men saved comic book movies as opposed to Blade, which dropped two years prior. X-Men is largely credited with reviving the genre after Batman and Robin supposedly put it all in serious jeopardy with it's abysmal box office failure … Continue reading Did Blade Save Comic Book Movies?
Here we go again
Until we actually see the movie, Fantastic Four is going to be a source of debate this year. Michael B. Jordan offered an excellent retort to anyone opposed to his casting here. But then on the flip side there was a factually challenged piece in the Daily Beast about minorities in superhero films. This stuff … Continue reading Here we go again
