My friend Max and I went to go see the fifth installment of Transformers yesterday. We knew it would be bad… but he’s a big fan of Transformers movies from childhood and I am a fan of the magic of motion picture cinema and will pretty much watch anything. So off we went. And even…
There was one reason and one reason only that I wanted to see Rough Night. Because when I saw Wonder Woman, I saw the trailer literally back to back with the trailer for Girl’s Trip. From the trailers alone, they appear to be literally the exact same movie. Basically “hey, you know The Hangover? We…
For reasons that I don’t entirely understand, Stephanie had been dying to see the movie reboot of Baywatch. She’s never mentioned the show before. She’s never spoken of her love for post-Knight Rider David Hasselhoff or pre-Hat Squad Billy Warlock. She’s never regaled me with tales of how she learned how to do an emergency tracheotomy…
When the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie came out, I wasn’t expect much. I’m not really much of a fan of the comic. It’s fine. I didn’t think it would suck or anything. It just looked like “oh, a movie with Rocket Raccoon. That ought to be fun maybe.” I was very pleasantly surprised…
I’ve kind of gotten sidetracked away from doing movie reviews for a bit here. Sorry about that. I’m still not quite sure if anyone cares. People say they want my take, but it always feels like there’s far more people interested in my political stuff. Anyway, I’ve been meaning to write one for Split for…
(This is my review of Rogue One. I promise, there are no spoilers.) So there’s this new movie out, have you heard? It’s a movie. With this war…like… in the stars… kind of a Star War, if you will. Oh, you have heard? Well, good. But in case you haven’t there’s totally a Star War happening.…
Last night I went and saw the new Doctor Strange movie. It was… fine… That’s almost a weird review for me to give a Marvel movie. There’s this weird thing about fans of superhero movies. They tend to be very territorial. There’s an assumption that if you don’t love every movie then something is wrong…
I don’t think I was ever looking for a Suicide Squad movie. I don’t think anyone was. It’s not like Batman v. Superman. There’s no point as a kid where I was growing up saying “God, I hope one day there’s a movie of this.” That was a huge advantage to WB. Because, a year ago…
(This is a review of the Batman: The Killing Joke animated movie adaptation that was just released. I’m going to mostly avoid spoilers if I can, but they will be there. But the book is from 1988. Honestly, there isn’t much to spoil… but if you’re worried about that… well, i guess that’s your damn fault for waiting…
So, “Justice” has apparently… uh…. dawned… which is to say that Batman v. Superman came out today. Err… yay! Or something. I had done a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers moving up to its release (and I will be try to avoid giving them here) with the sole exception of the official trailers that…
