If I had to put money on which director would take the big leap in the next decade, most (if not all) of it would be on Jeremy Saulnier. You could say I have a lot of…

Much has changed since the beginning of the DCEU. Gone is Zack Snyder’s dour aesthetic for something very different, something that varies from movie to movie. As such, the DCEU now has a colorful, all-over-the-place…

When I think of a Mark Wahlberg-Peter Berg joint, a few things come to mind: guns, harrowing action, Mark Wahlberg’s blank stare, conservative politics, and more manliness than one person could handle. None of these…

The 2010s were a crazily chaotic and rewarding decade in film. While Disney is the clear winner with its launch of the largest franchise of all time among its other tentpoles, it is not the…

There’s no denying that Star Wars has become one of the most popular franchises in film history, if not the most popular. George Lucas changed the cinematic landscape back in 1977, and we’ve felt it ever since. …

Many of the most high-profile movies of August — Hobbs and Shaw, Good Boys, The Angry Birds 2, and even Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark — were mired in mediocrity, doing a few…

After Hobbs and Shaw — the cinematic equivalent of an eight-year-old boy smashing toxically buff action figures together for two hours — opened in theaters, the rest of August was full of intriguing projects, many…

Since Al Jolson first came on the screen nearly ten decades ago with the words “Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t heard nothin’ yet!” film has been a major part of our culture.…

Praise the heavens! July was actually a solid month for film. With Quentin Tarantino debuting a new work and plenty of smaller releases which resulted in a wave of support from Film Twitter, one really…

These best/worst of the month articles are always an opportunity to express my exaggerated concerns with the industry as a whole. However, July was actually a bright spot of the summer movie season, balancing nicely…

The Fast and Furious franchise may not be everyone’s favorite, but there’s no debating that it still has a massive built-in fan base and has continued to gross stupid amounts of money at the box…

Quentin Tarantino is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable auteurs, busting onto the scene with Reservoir Dogs back in 1992 and capturing our attention ever since with his signature blend of exploitation homage and incredibly cool-sounding…

I think it’s safe to say that June had the most unnecessary, high-profile movies of the year so far, and it might even keep that distinction for the entire year. Seriously. We have a new…

June was…rough. We saw a slew of high-profile blockbusters flop hard; most notably, Dark Phoenix will lose Fox (Disney) around $100 million. Other films like The Secret Life of Pets 2 and Shaft also cratered,…

We all have Marvel to thank for every major studio rushing to make an extended cinematic universe around their owned properties. Since 2008 with the release of Iron Man, Marvel has owned the superhero landscape on…

When it comes to villains, most superheros have just one or two iconic enemies. However, there are two heroes who have a plethora of baddies almost as iconic as they are. I’m talking, of course,…

The Muppet Movie is celebrating 40 fantastic years of making us smile, laugh and sing. Every song is unforgettable thanks to the top-tier work of Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams. These tunes capture the Muppet…

I’m a man of some taste, depending on who you ask. (You never know; I have a lot of enemies out there.) I like simple things, like John Wick having a samurai sword fight on…

Sorry, but UglyDolls will not be making an appearance on this list of the best movies of May 2019. Let’s all take a moment of silence for this tragic loss… … … … …Okay, that’s…

Many in the industry (including yours truly) have consistently noted the power of Netflix in a continuously changing marketplace. Their platform has allowed for some wonderful projects to reach a wide audience, including my favorite…

I find it fitting that while we find ourselves in the middle of the most unprecedented box office occurrence of the millennium, I settled on three smaller movies for the top spots in April’s best…

Okay, we’ve avoided this subject long enough, but we can’t beat around the bush any longer: who is the best Spider-Man? Could it be Tobey Maguire, the classic Spider-Man? Maybe Andrew Garfield, the short-lived Spider-Man…

I’m not mad, March, just disappointed. The third month of the year is when we start to see the summer movie season pop through the ever-warming climate. There’s normally a few blockbusters that rear their…

Although March was a big month for Disney blockbusters in both Captain Marvel and Dumbo, neither of those films will be discussed here…except for that mention just now. Instead, March 2019 was a month where…

Well, friends, it’s been a fun ride. Unfortunately, we have reached the end of our journey through the 50 states. We’ve been from New York to Hawaii and back again, finding old friends and new…

To be honest, I have absolutely no venom towards any of the movies featured in this article…and that’s precisely the biggest problem. Instead of making a film of which I have a strong reaction, I…

As far as the movie calendar goes, February is like the first person of the opposite sex to show you some genuine interest and charm after a messy break-up. Your previous suitor (January) was messy,…

Howdy neighborinos! Once again, I have come back to add another installment to this lovely series. Last time, we trounced across the 50 states and remembered some of the greatest movies filmed throughout America. From…

Hello again! I hope you are all enjoying this series about films shot in all the 50 states! (I mean, if you aren’t, why are you still reading?) We’re back today with part 3! We…

I’m started to get the sense that all of these “Worst Movies of” articles are shortening my lifespan as I have to revisit some of my more painful moments of the previous month and speak…

Ah January, you stinky, obnoxious turd. We meet again! With the holiday season over, Oscar-hopeful films expanding into more theaters, and studios saving their marketing budgets for their bigger movies later in the year, Hollywood…

What’s up, fellow MovieBabble fans! It’s your girl, Kali, back at you again with part 2 of this highly acclaimed, Emmy award-winning series! In the first part of the series, we traveled from Alabama to…

We all love to see our hometown represented in the media, especially when it’s up on the big screen! Sometimes though, it seems like only a few of the 50 states in the United States…

One of the positives about lackluster films is that they tend to fade from memory over time. There’s too many great things in life — including some great movies — on which to focus for…

The race to the end of the year in film is extraordinarily hectic. Honestly, I think I’ll be in a state of constant jet lag (without the actual travel) for a solid month from all…

Warner Bros. continues to tap J.K Rowling’s imagination for more stories within her Wizarding World, expanding the universe beyond just Harry Potter and his stories. Potterheads will always hope for more from this world, so if…

With Bumblebee out and about, it’s time to look back at the entire Transformers franchise. It’s been quite the checkered history for the franchise with some of its entries ranking as some of the worst…

Even though I praised November for its merits, it wasn’t without its faults (that’s VERY clear considering the movies I’ll discuss here). What makes it even more frustrating is that many of these films are…

November is an underrated movie month. Thanksgiving sees plenty of blockbusters roll into theaters to take advantage of people being off work and spending time with their families. We also get plenty of Oscar hopefuls…

No Mulan was hurt in the making of this piece. Surprisingly enough I have a lot to say a lot when it comes to this topic. Ralph Breaks the Internet just came out this past Thanksgiving,…
