Hellboy

By | Apr 22, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

The 2019 Hellboy film is inexplicable. But we’re here to figure it out, so I’m going to do my best. It’s a reboot, disconnected from the cult classic films by Guillermo del Toro. This film is arriving in a world chock full of comic book adaptations, smack dab between a SHAZAM movie and the 22nd […]

Shazam!

By | Mar 25, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

In this modern sea of superhero content, it is a little surprising that one as historically important (both in terms of comics and the superhero as a multimedia figure) as the original Captain Marvel, now known as Shazam, hadn’t received the big screen treatment again, until now. Even before Man of Steel it wasn’t like […]

Captain Marvel

By | Mar 7, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

Carol Danvers has a great deal to carry on her shoulders, as the first female to headline a Marvel Cinematic Universe film and a spotlight role in next month’s Avengers: Endgame. Does her solo film provide a worthy introduction to the character that gets fans excited for her future in the MCU? Does it go higher, […]

Alita: Battle Angel

By | Feb 11, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

It’s been almost a decade since James Cameron revolutionized cinema with Avatar, demonstrating CG characters could lead a live-action feature film. Now, with Robert Rodriguez in the director’s seat, he seeks to top that achievement with a CG human character. But does this gamble pay off? Beware minor spoilers. Sadly, this is a failed experiment. […]

Polar

By | Jan 28, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

Man I hope Victor Santos got a lot of money for this. Lets make something very clear from the start: Polar is not a good movie. It isn’t a good “bad” movie, it is one minute shy of two hours’ worth of juvenile nihilism parading as black humor. As a critic I try to never […]

Bumblebee

By | Dec 18, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

It would be easy to declare, after ten years of increasingly worse Michael Bay Transformers films, that Travis Knight’s prequel Bumblebee is a masterpiece and move on. But how good is it really? Set in 1987, the film opens with an exquisitely crafted prologue depicting Bumblebee (Dylan O’Brien)’s journey to Earth from Cybertron and how […]

Aquaman

By | Dec 11, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Aquaman is just as exciting as an action movie as it is in terms of world building and honouring a deep mythology. With a charismatic lead and a supporting cast that all contribute to a cohesive story, it draws viewers to the depths of the world and never lets go. Aquaman can talk to fish. […]

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

By | Dec 10, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

This is a spoiler-free review, but for those wondering, there is one scene after the credits, which is a red herring so astonishing that it will have memeologists discussing it for years to come. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has three credited directors: Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman. Small wonder it feels like many […]

Venom

By | Oct 5, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

It’s a mostly spoiler-free review for a movie whose best qualities you could not spoil and whose worse you would rather forget. Right out of the gate: Venom is a bad movie. It is, also, a pretty fun viewing experience, assuming one arrives in the right mood. Like its protagonist the movie suffers from a […]

The Predator

By | Sep 14, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

There is a very specific audience in mind for The Predator. It is an audience that is well versed in both the past installments of the Predator franchise, but also those who understand the tropes and expectations of action films, have a healthy love of sci-fi (but maybe not the attention span for too much […]
