Captain Marvel is Marvel Studios’ newest flick, and although the marketing itself doesn’t look all that impressive, that factor alone isn’t enough to indicate how well it’ll perform. If anything it’s already guaranteed to hit…

Some actors and actresses in Hollywood get all the glory. As much as I love George Clooney, he’s pretty overrated, and usually one of the first actors that comes to mind when people think of…

Before any comic book nerds come at me telling me about the numerous superhero universes there are, please keep in mind that the last time I read something was in elementary school. I no longer…

What are the chances Mortal Engines survives this holiday season from the clutches of Into the Spider-Verse, Aquaman, Marry Poppins Returns, and Bumblebee combined? Slim, I tell you. Universal might have overestimated their chances when it came to its marketability in such…

Many Americans cringe when they hear abortion mentioned, because they know the discussion could get ugly. Even those with the same overall stance can disagree on certain aspects. Amazingly, Netflix’s new documentary, Reversing Roe, accomplishes…

Let’s be honest: Twilight (2008) sucked, in more ways than one (but you already knew that). A movie about teenage vampires had so much potential and it was squandered on a terrible storyline with paper-thin characters. While…

The brand new Dark Phoenix trailer is out. It looks like the Disney-Fox deal wasn’t able to stop it from coming out as many of the fans had hoped. Yes, we’re still looking forward to…

Who knew that we’d see Rowan Atkinson return to the world of secret spies in Johnny English Strikes Again? The 2011 sequel Johnny English Reborn was already an unexpected follow-up. I asked myself if anyone asked…

With skilled acting, the comedy and tragedy in the story, and a quick succession of events at the start, The Motive (or El Autor in its native Spain) almost instantly pulls you in. As the…

I’m so tired of seeing that this actor or this actress has been involved in a scandal of some sort. I’m so sick of getting attached to actors only to find that they’re actual douchebags…

Let me get this straight: so you’re telling me that Slice, a new movie from A24, includes pizza, gateways to hell, ghosts, werewolves, witches, Steve from Stranger Things, AND Chance the Rapper?!?! AAANNNDDD, it’s available on streaming…

If you’re into independent film, and, more specifically, A24 films, odds are that you saw First Reformed earlier this year. It’s even more likely that this film hypnotized you into a state of deep contemplation. If you…

With the release of White Boy Rick this week and roles in two other movies this month, it brings a total of eight movies already released this year featuring one of Hollywood’s hardest working actors:…

“If you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, you ARE the sucker.” – Mike McDermott, Rounders Words to live by. I viewed Rounders for the very first time about five years…

Raise your hand if this was you in August: you sat down in your seat at your local theater, ready to be entertained by the new release that week. Cut to about an hour and…

As a regular moviegoer, I don’t mind it when films give my brain an exercise of sorts. I enjoy having to put the pieces together, to try to unravel the intention and message of the…

BlacKkKlansman is making waves in both film and political spheres for its content. In one way it’s an unbelievably funny real-life story, but, in another way, it’s a sobering, painfully obvious look at the state of…

After expanding wide into theaters following a limited release last weekend, Searching has become a late-summer, sleeper hit of sorts. Given its buzzy premise and presentation (that being a crime thriller that takes place completely on a…

The following article was previously published on June 21st, 2018 following the release of the first trailer for The Nun. Now, with The Nun hitting theaters this weekend, let’s take another deep dive into the Conjuring Universe and…

Netflix is continuing to push the envelope with their original programming. As the list of the best and worst Netflix movies of 2018 shows, they don’t always succeed — not even close — but dammit…

Is it me or are there not enough good rap movies these days? Everyone always goes back to 8 Mile or Straight Outta Compton as the rap movies they love (and that’s it), but if you ask, it’s time that…

In a time where Hollywood attempts to reboot and remake practically every popular piece of intellectual property, Papillon, the remake of the 1973 film of the same name, has arrived in theaters with limited vitriol from…

I mean, a female James Bond? The feminists are taking over! 007 theme plays I’m an adult virgin! For those of you who aren’t vine-savvy, this would be what I’m quoting: Yes, I am the kind…

July was a rough month for Netflix as they churned out movies like Extinction, Father of the Year, and How It Ends. Still, Netflix is going to keep trying — they have millions of subscribers that they have…

Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg are no strangers to each other. After four collaborations in just five years, they’re basically besties in the movie world. But while their first three films together — Lone Survivor, Deepwater…

Well, this article is probably long overdue. That’s what happens when life gets in the way — it has a funny way of doing that often, doesn’t it? But one thing is still very clear…

There are some actors that can play a wide variety of characters. Tom Hanks, for example, can play anything from a starving man on a deserted island to a newspaper executive to a talking cowboy…

Writer’s note: This article is for satirical and humorous purposes only. We only see a very small sliver of what truly goes on in the lives of Hollywood’s best. What does Danny Devito do after…

Remember the 2000’s? It was a time where comedies did pretty much whatever they wanted to do, pushing the line a little too far in every direction. But, like most things, taste changed, and the…

Traditionally, when people think about going to the movies they think of groups of people or a couple on a date. Rarely — or never — do people think about someone going to the movies…

It seems like every month in 2018 I’ve started these “best of” articles with something to the effect of “hey, this month was pretty great!” That trend continues with July 2018, which shows that everything…

Hulu’s Original Castle Rock premiered July 25th and is just what fans of Stephen King’s multiverse have been waiting for. The two and a half minute trailer has us thrown back into the gritty, dark, and…

The official Academy Awards Twitter account announced they’re making a few changes. One of those included a new category dedicated to achievement in popular film. This announcement didn’t go over well for a slew of…

Sound ludicrous? Like it won’t work out? Maybe it just sounds like a stupid idea to you. Whatever you think, at least to my explanation.  The Avengers already have great chemistry in every movie they…

Lionsgate is beginning to create a pattern of films that it releases in August with The Spy Who Dumped Me. Their latest film in a long list of action movies to come out in August combines…
