I don’t normally like doing this, but, in this week’s Sunday Q&A, I’m going to pit Marvel and DC against each other. The best characters, comics, whatnot. Feel free to answer the questions in the comments below. Let’s get to it. Continue reading “Marvel vs DC – Q and A”
The following is a quick review of Louis Leterrier’s Grimsby.
Grimsby is the newest gross-out comedy starring Sascha Baron Cohen. Louis Leterrier – known for his work in the Transporter-franchise and with The Incredible Hulk-solo film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – directed this action-comedy, but it won’t go on his highlight reel. Though I’m a fan of some of Cohen’s work, Grimsby goes too far. Continue reading “REVIEW: Grimsby (2016)”
The following is a spoiler-free review of Adam Wingard’s Blair Witch.
This new Blair Witch was a pretty big surprise this year. For quite a while Adam Wingard’s 2016 horror film was titled The Woods. And – I have to admit that – I wasn’t really excited for The Woods. Not only was the Blair Witch reveal a great surprise, it also got me interested in the film immediately.
I’m not a huge fan of the original film, but I enjoy it for what it is, and I really liked the idea of making a new sequel to the horror cult ‘classic.’ I was especially excited when I heard about the plot of the film. And while I don’t think Blair Witch is an amazing found footage horror film, I had a really good time with it. Continue reading “REVIEW: Blair Witch (2016)”
The following is a quick review of ARQ, a Netflix Original Film.
The newest Netflix Original Film – ARQ – is a time-loop science fiction film starring Robbie Amell and Rachael Taylor, and is directed by Tony Elliott – a former story editor and writer for the excellent science fiction show Orphan Black. It sees more one than character stuck in the time loop, and explores a single location in a post-apocalyptic world. Continue reading “REVIEW: ARQ (2016)”

The following is a review of The Light Between Oceans – directed by Derek Cianfrance.
The Light Between Oceans – the newest drama from director Derek Cianfrance – is based on M. L. Stedman’s debut novel of the same name from 2012, and it stars Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, and Rachel Weisz. Cianfrance has been known to bring out some pretty remarkable performances from his cast, and he once again succeeds in The Light Between Oceans. But it doesn’t come close to being as good as his last two films. Continue reading “REVIEW: The Light Between Oceans (2016)”
NORTH AMERICAN OPENING WEEKEND PREDICTIONS:
Mads Mikkelsen is one of my favorite actors out there, and definitely my favorite Danish actor ever. We’ve known for a little while now that Mikkelsen is playing the father of Jyn Erso (played by Felicity Jones) in Rogue One. But we haven’t seen his character in either of the two trailers. This month, let’s talk about what we know about the mysterious Galen Erso.

The following is a spoiler-filled retro review of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3. It was written in 2016.
I remember liking Spider-Man 3 just fine, when it was released. Sure, it wasn’t perfect, and it definitely wasn’t as good as the first two Raimi Spider-Man films. But it was fine, right? Then, when I rewatched it when it was released on home video, I realized that maybe I had been too easy on the film.
Today, after having rewatched it nine years after its theatrical release, I can safely say that Spider-Man 3 is as bad as people say. But I still like it more than both of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man films. Let’s talk about the film that made Sony reboot their Spider-Man franchise.
