Movie Duel: Indecent Proposal vs. Honeymoon in Vegas

Welcome back to Movie Duels, in which we watch two dueling movies and offer our eminently qualified opinion of which film, if any, has a reason for existing, and which one should have been left back at the pitch …

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 do Rod Serling proud. Burgess Meredith’s…

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, The Munsters, and Star …

Suicide Squad (2016): a recap (part 2 of 9)

Last time on Suicide Squad: The Wall got an idea. An awful idea. The Wall got a wonderful, awful idea. She’s smiling because, with Superman dead, it’s the perfect time to pitch this wonderful, awful idea to her fellow…

Hit or Bomb? June 2018 movie predictions

For being smack-dab in the middle of blockbuster season, this month gets off to a pretty slow start. Guess everybody assumed Solo: A Star Wars Story would be dominating the box office for at least a little while, huh? Oops.…

Suicide Squad (2016): a recap (part 1 of 9)

The DC Expanded Universe: four cursed words if ever there were any. The twelve hours that comprise the DCEU represent such a pathetically inept wall-to-wall pooch-screw that dunking on the franchise at this point seems almost mean, like laughing at…

Battle of the Nerd Comedies: Free Enterprise (1999) vs. Fanboys (2009)

A short while back, I wrote an article comparing the documentaries Trekkies and The People vs. George Lucas. These movies looked at the appeal and devoted followings of Star Trek and Star Wars, the two most famous series in…

Tron (1982), a recap (part 6 of 6)

Before I get into the impact Tron has had on pop culture in the decades since its release, let’s discuss how the movie itself stands up. Video game-based movies are usually received with not much enthusiasm by most audiences. The…

7 ideas for the next A Star Wars Story

It was a golden moment when Lucasfilm and Disney announced their intention to make a series of standalone Star Wars movies in addition to the sequel trilogy. For the first time in history, the Star Wars franchise wasn’t penned in…

Feeling like you’re recovering from a massive hangover of Avengers proportions? Well, pop a fistful of Tylenol and pour yourself a Bloody Mary, because blockbuster season has only just begun, and Hollywood still has a ton of action/comic book/sci-fi extravaganzas…

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 up in this film to face…

Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Black Panther (2018)

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 joint has been destroyed several times…

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 Marvel origin story told so far.…

Countdown to Infinity War: Revisiting Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
