Warriors of Virtue (1997)
Just four years before the first part of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy was released, there was another fantasy film which, unlike Jackson’s trilogy, pretty much faded from memory as quickly as...
A look back at Twilight Zone: The Movie, 35 years later (part 2 of 2)
Let’s take a closer look at the Twilight Zone movie itself before tackling the elephant in the room regarding this topic. The prologue, directed by John Landis, sets the tone perfectly and would truly...
A look back at Twilight Zone: The Movie, 35 years later (part 1 of 2)
Even before this day and age of seemingly endless reboots and reimaginings, the idea of remaking something for the big screen wasn’t (if you’ll pardon this) new. After all, classic series such as Batman,...
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of 10 years and 18 movies’ worth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and stars… far too many people to list. Almost every important character from the MCU pops...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Black Panther (2018)
Previously: In late 2014, Marvel Studios announced Phase Three of its Cinematic Universe, and among the more noteworthy releases on the slate was Black Panther, the first MCU film starring a solo black lead....
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
When they announced the title for the new Thor movie, I was intrigued. Ragnarok is one of those stories that’s constantly revisited in Thor’s comic. It’s always hanging over Asgard and I think the...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Previously: Doctor Strange was hyped as a major departure for the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to its supernatural elements, but of course, other than a few mind-bending visuals, it was pretty much every other...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
When Guardians of the Galaxy came out, I don’t think anybody could have realistically expected the level of success it achieved, both critically and financially. It was so big that you can reasonably argue...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Doctor Strange (2016)
Doctor Strange is one of those Marvel properties that’s been around for decades. He’s a character that fans of the comics can remember popping up all over the place in cameos. I think the...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Before I dive into Captain America: Civil War, allow me to provide some background about the source material. Civil War was one of Marvel Comics’ landmark events, one that had been carefully set up...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Ant-Man (2015)
So… Ant-Man. Ant. Man. This… is a difficult movie for me to talk about, mostly because it had so little impact on me. It’s not a horrific movie like Battlefield Earth, which if you’re not...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
When one thinks about the Avengers, there are only a handful of villains that come to mind who can pose a true challenge. Loki was an excellent choice for the first film; he was...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
When Marvel announced their post-Avengers movie schedule in 2012, I expected some titles to be on the list. I expected a Black Widow movie. I expected Power Man and Iron Fist. I had expected Daredevil....
God's Not Dead 2 (2016): Electric Bible-loo
Glory be to the Bad Movie Gods! Pure Flix, the makers of films aimed squarely at evangelical Christians, earned enough money from their excruciatingly awful (and inexplicably successful) 2014 release God’s Not Dead to...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Previously: I was dreading Marvel’s 2014 films, especially after the lackluster 2013 entries in the series. You might be asking yourself what I was dreading, seeing as I loved the first Captain America movie...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Thor: The Dark World (2013)
Previously: Marvel Studios pulled off a minor miracle, as their four-year plan to release multiple movies as a lead up to a mega-crossover cinematic event exceeded everyone’s sky-high expectations and ultimately resulted in what...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Iron Man 3 (2013)
Previously: 2012 passed into our rear-view mirror and 2013 was upon us, and when it came to Marvel movies, we had no idea what to expect. In 2008, we knew the goal for these...
Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting The Avengers (2012)
Four years. Four years since that teaser at the end of the Iron Man credits, where Nick Fury teased the “Avengers Initiative”. Four years and here it was, the movie that nerds worldwide had...
