I’ve often wondered if people who work in some professions really like or hate their jobs to the point they’re embarrassed to tell anyone what they do. One of my friends was going to interview for a position at Adult Video News but decided at the last minute not to go because he wouldn’t knowContinue reading “‘Kraven The Hunter’ Gets Poached”

The Original ‘Fantastic Four’ Finally Gets The Spotlight
In a world where it seems there’s superhero fatigue, at one time, movie producers really didn’t see the point in doing a superhero movie. And there was a good reason – they really didn’t have a good track record. While the first two Superman movies were well-made and received, popularity was waning. Superman III wasn’tContinue reading “The Original ‘Fantastic Four’ Finally Gets The Spotlight”
‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Still Has Same Old MCU Problems
The main problem with Captain America: Brave New World is you can clearly tell which scenes were added after principal photography ended. While it’s not uncommon for many movies to have tweaks here and there and additional scenes shot to clear up plot holes, this movie feels like a Chose Your Own Adventure book thatContinue reading “‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Still Has Same Old MCU Problems”

‘Madame Web’ Weaves An Unstructured Pattern Of Superhero Tropes
In many ways, it’s almost fitting a movie like Madame Web takes place in 2003. During this time, Hollywood was still trying to find its footing on how to make superhero movies. Following the problems with Batman & Robin and whatever Steel was supposed to be, the Blade movies were the only thing keeping theContinue reading “‘Madame Web’ Weaves An Unstructured Pattern Of Superhero Tropes”
‘The Marvels’ Doesn’t Deserve The Hate It’s Been Given
The Marvels is a very complicated movie. Even at 105 minutes with credit, it seems that it lags at some scenes but rushes to get other things over once it’s starting to get interesting. I feel the movie was the result of many issues Disney and Marvel Studios had with the big disappointment that wasContinue reading “‘The Marvels’ Doesn’t Deserve The Hate It’s Been Given”
‘Echo’ Still Resonates Despite Flaws
For the past few years, just about every MCU installment could’ve been critiqued with the phrase, “Well, it could’ve been worse.” Who knows what Kevin Feige and Disney had in mind before this time four years ago when Covid-19 started to make headlines.
