The internet (or at least the specific corners of it) finally got what it wanted: The Snyder Cut is coming to HBO Max in 2021. Zack Snyder will go back to the editing bay and…

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…

Conducting a therapy session by way of moviemaking is something I’m intensely interested in…if done correctly. It feeds into our fascination with celebrity, and the films themselves take on deeper meanings than what’s on the…

A few years after whatever the hell Suicide Squad was released, Harley Quinn has her very own movie in Birds of Prey. Or, the actual title, Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One…

Similar to its leading lady, Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey (2020) was dealt a shit hand. David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016) is a music video masquerading as a feature film, a two-hour movie trailer full of undeliverable promises. And…

Birds of Prey came in well below studio and industry expectations, battling a slew of Oscar-nominated movies as well as other popular movies in their latest weeks of release. Was it the quality of the…

Joker has been out for about a month now, and over the course of that month, it managed to take over meme culture, stir up some unneeded controversy, and gross well over $900 million (and…

A movie entitled “Joker” has arrived in theaters. Odds are that you may have heard about it. Maybe. Joker is all over the place from fire memes to fire think pieces. Everyone has an opinion,…

With Joker being such a blatant homage to the works of Martin Scorsese and other filmmakers that told scuzzy New York dramas in the 1970s and 1980s, it’s interesting timing that Scorsese himself, while on…

2017’s It remains one of the most surprising smash hits of the decade. People went nuts over it, and it started another round of Stephen King adaptations in Hollywood. Two years later, we’re back in…

Truth time: It Chapter Two failed me. It (2017) remains one of the biggest surprises and smash-hits of its respective year. I loved it so much that I saw it multiple times in theaters. The…

ABC’s 1990 It miniseries was the first adaption of Stephen King’s classic novel of the same name and has since become an enduring cult classic. The miniseries put a face to the horrific Pennywise the…

White Heat (1949) rolled out of Warner Bros at an interesting time for Hollywood and its genre circus. It came long after the heyday of the studios’ rise and fall of gangster pictures in the…

You’ve heard it time and time again: “Blade Runner was a flop in theaters”, “no one liked The Thing when it first came out”, “The Shawshank Redemption was a belated classic,” etc. The hard, well-known…

I had a rollercoaster of emotions after watching Godzilla: King of the Monsters. As a huge Godzilla fan dating back to my childhood, I was extremely giddy and pumped that I was able to experience…

I have a confession to make — I’m a closet Pokémon fan. I was obsessed with it after its 90’s debut. And while time and maturity has tempered that, that love never fully vanished. So…

Warner Bros.’ is quickly learning that you don’t have to do much to make a crap ton of cash from horror movies. All it takes is keeping to a modest budget, employing perfectly competent actors,…

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,…

While it’s been a critical success, The Lego Movie 2 isn’t shaping up to be the same box office success as its predecessor. The film grossed an estimated $34.4 million over its opening weekend. In…

It always feels like animation that isn’t the standard 3D, CGI look that Pixar and Disney throws at us a few times a year is often left behind, as if it’s inaccessible like some pretentious…

Years after it went off air, Entourage finally got its wish: we now have a REAL Aquaman movie. I know Vinny Chase, E, Turtle, and Johnny Drama are somewhere in the ether offering a toast (or seven)…

Picture this: an elderly U.S Army veteran who grows and sells flowers decides to become a drug runner in a time of need. Clint Eastwood directs and returns to act in a film that fits…

It’s as if it was only yesterday that we watched Disney’s live-action remake of The Jungle Book in theaters. Now Warner Bros. and Netflix are teaming up to deliver Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle. Comparisons between the two…

We as a collective always complain that there are too many remakes and reboots. In recent years, the cynical feel of studios dredging up any property with some amount of clout has reached an all-time…

Every year has an animated film that sells its cast to the high heavens in the promotional material while simultaneously angering voice actors everywhere. Seriously Smallfoot, you couldn’t look around for true professionals in this field?…

Here we go again: another film set in  Conjuring Universe.  At the end of Annabelle: The Creation, viewers were teased about a solo film about the demonic entity known as Valek the Demonic Nun who first…

I am a week late to the conversation, seeing as how most of the reviews and articles about a movie show up a day or two after its release. I watched Crazy Rich Asians a few…

2018 is a big year for representation for film, and Crazy Rich Asians is one of the main reasons for that distinction. With an entirely Asian main cast, John M. Chu and company took a gamble by…

Even though some wish that mainstream movies would be a little more intelligent, there’s still some films that are so intentionally brainless that you can’t help but appreciate them for their audacity.  Based on a…

After the PR nightmare that was the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters, Warner Bros. may have been shaking in their boots as they rolled out their marketing campaign for an all-female addition to the Ocean’s franchise, Ocean’s 8. Yet, with a…

If you need a woman lead for your studio comedy, odds are you turn to Melissa McCarthy.  Ever since her breakout role in Bridesmaids back in 2011, McCarthy has earned plenty of starring vehicles, including her…

In age where the “movie star” seems all but dead, one — very swoll — actor is still raking in the dough as a leading man, forcing studios to pay him top dollar to star…
