Movies

It’s an epic, entertaining, and enjoyable movie, but Infinity War can also leave you hanging.

I wasn’t so sure about it myself, but I Had a Bloody Good Time at House Harker had me within the first ten minutes.

Rampage is exactly a big, dumb monster movie based upon a flimsy premise of an arcade smash-‘em-up, and it’s also just about everything you’d ask it to be.

Blame! is a solid science fiction action-adventure with hints of A Fistful of Dollars and The Road Warrior.

With all that being said, A Quiet Place is an ingenious little thriller with near flawless execution.

Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay would have also benefited from a more adult approach to its exploitation aspects.

In Dark Forest, Boyer often has his characters sit around and tell stories to each other in scenes that come across as overly obvious attempts at creating verisimilitude.

Where the first Pacific Rim rode the wave carefully to find a middle ground between cheese and awe, this time the movie swerves far more into cheese.

Ready Player One is a loving homage to pop-culture without being suffocated by the cumulative artifacts of pop-culture.

Tomb Raider is a smaller, leaner, and enjoyable little action movie of modest ambitions.

If you get the chance to see Bakerman, you should not pass it up.

I loved the cinematography in so much of this that I can tell you I’ll definitely watch it again just to enjoy and maybe even learn a little bit from some of the angles and setups used

Justice League is a film that somehow manages to get worse every time I see it.

If Amelie was going to fall in love with a sea creature, it might look something like The Shape of Water.

This world is far bigger and more interesting than we can possibly imagine. And now, so is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Mazinger Z: Infinity is about as solid a film about giant mechas fighting giant kaiju as is humanly possible.

Black Panther is a winning movie when it features its sterling cast celebrating their virtues and solidarity and a still respectable enough action spectacle when called upon for big screen duty.

The Cloverfield Paradox is another Cloverfield movie where the Cloverfield elements feel like the least interesting part.

I have a confession to make. If Danielle Harris is in a horror movie, I’ll watch it.

Comics in Focus: Chris Claremont’s X-Men is a documentary about a seismic shift in comics storytelling that laid the groundwork for the Marvel Comics of today.
