April movie preview: the ‘furious’ spring into action

April Movie Preview: The ‘Furious’ Spring Into Action

Even with a bunch of other cool titles hitting theaters last month, the box office was dominated by Beauty and the Beast. Looking at April movies, it’s probable that we’ll be seeing another single movie take the bulk of the movie money this month. But this one, The Fate of the Furious, involves big dudes punching…

March movie preview: “clawing” our way to a big movie month

March Movie Preview: “Clawing” Our Way to a Big Movie Month

It’s a good month to be a geeky movie fan. The March movie list begins with the coolest of all the X-Men then rolls through King Kong’s origin story before we see a separate beast learning how to love. Then we meet a new team of Power Rangers before ending the month with a manga…

February movie preview: where have all the rom-coms gone?

February Movie Preview: Where Have All the Rom-Coms Gone?

With a holiday built around couples going on dates, I would expect February to be filled with movies well suited for Valentine’s Day. But instead February movies this year are one creepy release after another. We have horror, psychological thrillers, and violent action all present. There’s even one sequel described as an “erotic romantic drama.”…

January movie preview: monster month at the movies

January Movie Preview: Monster Month at the Movies

Every month when I prepare the movie preview, I expect somewhere around 12 releases to research and introduce to you. But January 2017 has taken that number and decided to inflate it to an unwatchable number of 18 films getting wide releases. There is a combination of standard action and family films along with a…

December movie preview: one ‘rogue’ blockbuster

December Movie Preview: One ‘Rogue’ Blockbuster

It had been a few months since some genuine blockbusters piqued the interest of moviegoers. But that’s what we got in November with Doctor Strange and Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them. If you haven’t seen those titles yet, I suggest you do. Now we’re on to December movies. And for the second year…

November movie preview: both ‘strange’ and ‘fantastic’

November Movie Preview: Both ‘Strange’ and ‘Fantastic’

It feels like forever since we’ve had a Marvel movie come out and give us a guaranteed bit of comic book fun at the movie theater. Actually, it’s only been a few months. But Doctor Strange sure doesn’t look like a typical superhero slugfest. Among the list of November movies is also the ambitious Harry…

Our definitive ranking of every group member from ‘the walking dead’

Our Definitive Ranking of Every Group Member from ‘The Walking Dead’

There are a lot of constants on The Walking Dead, but the group of survivors featured is not one of them. With 6 full seasons under their belt, it’s a requirement now that every season has character deaths and new blood to join the ranks. So as I was rewatching the series leading up to the…

Power rangers come to life at nycc 2016

Power Rangers Come to Life at NYCC 2016

It always surprises me just how popular Power Rangers is at big conventions like New York Comic Con. Sure the television series is on its 23rd season, Power Rangers Dino Super Charge. But fans aren’t dressed like those characters. It’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that stands the test of time. This year at NYCC those…

October movie preview: mysteries abound!

October Movie Preview: Mysteries Abound!

Maybe I’m imagining it, but it sure seems like 2016 has brought about quite a few poor months at the movie theater. It’s a common theme for me to write about a month of mediocre titles with one or two diamonds in the rough. Well it looks like October is slightly better than that forecast. It’s…

September movie preview: based on a true story

September Movie Preview: Based on a True Story

Usually September is a letdown after the sequels and explosions of the summer blockbusters. But this summer seemed to be one box office disappointment after another. Remember how excited everyone was for Suicide Squad? Well that public opinion seems to have shifted once people actually saw it. So here we have a September movie list that…

August movie preview: the ‘squad’ meets the dog days of summer

August Movie Preview: The ‘Squad’ Meets the Dog Days of Summer

If you haven’t yet taken advantage of summer movie theaters filled with Jason Bourne, Captain Kirk, and Slimer, then maybe that should be your focus in August. The weather is still warm and kids are still off from school, but you would never know it’s still summer from this list of August movies. After the…
