With a new Spider-Man movie coming out in soon, I think it’s fitting to do as I did with the MCU and X-Men and take a look back on the franchise so far. This is something that I’ll probably do again in the future, although if you think I’m going to do it for all …

I didn’t make it out to see Dark Phoenix this weekend. My close friend and I absolutely intended to go see it. We even texted about it over the week. Then it was time and we found as the weekend went on we were more interested in hanging out, playing tabletop roleplaying games, and working …

I’m going to be honest with you all up front: I don’t know if I can review this movie. Not because it upset me like Shazam! did. This movie did something completely different. Godzilla: King of the Monsters completely bypassed the logic centers of my brain. Every time I started to think about underlying themes …
I’m sitting down to write this literally minutes after having walked out of Avengers: Endgame. Usually, when I do reviews, I say the non-spoiler things in the top, and then get into spoilers further down in the post. This is not going to be that kind of review. Endgame is the movie event of the …
So, I have a confession to make. I love bad movies that are the right kind of bad. I’m not going to say I enjoy them ‘ironically’ because that implies I don’t derive actual enjoyment from them.

So, since doing movie reviews - at least for big-budget Hollywood genre films - is a thing that I do here, I thought it would behoove me to go see Shazam!. Went on Thursday to an 8:00 show even though I have the flu because I’m a professional, damnit! Well, quasi-professional. I’m a blogger! I …
Note: since this movie has been out for a few months, I’m not worried about spoilers in this. Also note: pop culture moves so fast these days, I feel totally justified doing a retrospective on a movie that is only a few months old. So with the next big thing in film being the Shazam …

So over the weekend I decided to watch Mortal Engines, a Peter Jackson adaptation of a book series by the same name written by Philip Reeves. If you’re not familiar with it (and if box office totals are anything to go by, you probably aren’t) it’s a young adult dystopian book series where the books …
So after my last post was basically me begging Marvel not to traumatize Carol Danvers and calling them out for how they treat their female protagonists, I only thought it was appropriate to make today’s post a review of the movie itself. Since I haven’t posted a movie review before, a bit about how I …
