Coronavirus and what it means for Hollywood

As I’m sure everyone knows by now, much of the world is currently on guard because of the coronavirus pandemic. Trump, thankfully, declared a state of emergency about the matter on (ironically) Friday the 13th of March. While some say…

Hit or Bomb? December 2019 movie predictions

It’s the Christmas movie season, where studios typically roll out lots of big blockbusters and awards bait, but much like two years ago, the release schedule is pretty light this year, because the assumption seems to once again be that…

Hit or Bomb? August 2019 movie predictions

As we all know, August is traditionally a dumping ground for films without much blockbuster potential, so it’s time for us to adjust our expectations way way down and predict which films released this month will be HITs and…

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 Thor (2011)

I have a confession to make: I’m not a big Thor fan. I’m not saying I hate the character, and there have been periods where I picked up the comic (for example, I was really digging what Jason Aaron was…

Why calling the Dark Tower movie a “sequel” to the books is meaningless (and brilliant)

Fear not. All of this “sequel” hype has nothing to do with you or your movie-watching experience.

Hit or Bomb? August 2017 movie predictions

August is upon us, which means it’s time to find out which movies had the great misfortune of being dumped in a month where the prime moviegoing audience is preoccupied with vacations and going back to school. But could there…

Star Trek Beyond (2016)

“But like its two predecessors, Beyond’s focus on being fun is at the expense of being something meaningful. It's dumb fun, which more or less sums up the Trek reboot series.”

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

“‘More of the same’, though I’d still say it was better overall than the previous Avengers movie and trumps it on most levels.”

Should Spider-Man be black?

“Casting a black or Latino Spider-Man for the sake of casting a black Spider-Man may or may not be the right move.”

Pacific Rim (2013): We’re sure this isn’t a Michael Bay movie?

VIDEO: Pacific Rim (2013)

Ursa's never really been aware of the "giant robots punching giant monsters" genre up to now, but... Rinko Kikuchi, optimism, two Science Guys, Idris Elba, Guillermo del Toro's visual storytelling of pretty, and Charlie Hunnam's abs? Yeah, I think she's sold.

Thor (2011)

“If Shakespeare had had the wherewithal to include giant robots and inter-dimensional portals and storm-generating mystical hammers in his plays, it just might have looked something like this movie.”

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)

“Neveldine/Taylor inject the Ghost Rider sequel with enough energy to keep it from being a total washout; But not even they can counteract the direct-to-video, anything-for-a-paycheck vibe that pervades this whole thing.”

Pacific Rim (2013)

“I’ve been looking forward to Pacific Rim ever since it was first announced. An American take on Japanese kaiju movies and mecha sci-fi directed by monster lover Guillermo del Toro? I was sold three times over before a single piece of advertising was released.”

VIDEO: The Reaping (2007)

In this schlocky horror film, Hilary Swank travels to the Louisiana bayou to investigate a series of events that seem to resemble the ten plagues as described in the Book of Exodus, and gets stalked by AnnaSophia Robb, who might be devil spawn.
