So I’ve been doing dissertation research (because apparently that’s just the rest of my life) and I’m currently reading all the way through a book that I’d only read sections of before. Peter Coogan’s Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre. One of the things I’ve been struggling with in writing my dissertation was the…
So this feels a little weird to review what with all the craziness that’s been going on in politics the last 24 hours… but I had already been planning to see this movie, so here we go. Let’s talk about Atomic Blonde. When I review any movie based on a comic book, one of the things…
I’d actually been looking forward to Dunkirk for quite a while. I love a good war movie. And I like Christopher Nolan. So I was pretty excited to go see it this weekend and review it… … ummm… … So it’s a really hard movie to review. I’ve mentioned this before… how I’ll often come…
Why do you hate strong black female characters? Yeah you! Seriously, why? Back when I saw Rough Night, I mentioned that the main reason I was going to see it was that I wanted to compare it to Girls Trip. I had seen the trailers of both at another movie and I quickly realized that…
If you pay attention to me at all, you might have picked up that I have kind of a preoccupation with sex and gender in comic books and superhero movies. Did you miss that? It’s kind of subtle maybe? Oh it’s not? I talk about it all the fucking time? Huh…. Anyway, here’s something weird…
Well that was a pleasant surprise. I had actually been hearing lots of really good things about The Big Sick. I always try to not take reviews too seriously before I see the movie. I know, that’s kind of funny coming from me since I’m writing one right here, but I like to go into…
It’s summer blockbuster season. Because of a random and frankly insane number of convenient coincidences throughout the 1970s and 80s, the movie industry is structured such that the summer has a veritable cornucopia of action blockbusters. And now, thirty years later, with the advent of the cinematic universe era, there’s just even more… I dunno……
This is a weird thing that keeps showing up in my feed even though I know that it came out over a year ago. But every time it comes up, I look at it and say… I want to do this!!! It’s a series from Marcos Alberti. He calls it “The Wine Project” and it’s fucking…
I’ve been trying to think more and more about my ratings system for my last couple movie reviews. There’s a couple reasons for this. First of all, as my friend Mike pointed out, ratings systems aren’t really that useful. They’re kind of stupid really. They don’t convey any real information. And really with me (or…
The Bizzaro World, ©Tom Tomorrow, 2016 There’s something that has been on my mind the last couple days since I was having a conversation with Steph and I’ve been trying to figure it out. So I want to do a thought experiment and see what people’s feedback is. Ok, so Donald…
Attention… I’d just like to point out that as of 9:21AM, Eastern Daylight Time, July 2, 2017, the United States Presidential Archives now OFFICIALLY forever includes a video of the President of the United States of America in a catfight with a man with a CNN logo for a head outside of a WWE wrestling ring…
Well that was a fucking movie! I know it seems like I say that in a lot of reviews. But it’s all about inflection. You can tell it’s different because of the word “fucking” See, I walk out of a lot of movies and I say something like… “well… that was a movie…” and it’s…
