It’s finally here! Avengers: Infinity War is the cherry on top of the industry defining treat that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Eighteen movies, all of which were both box office and (mostly) critical successes, lead to this showdown between our heroes and Thanos. But before we get to that we have 11 other wide…
Every week, the folks at iTunes find a movie they like and make it available to rent for the low, low price of $0.99. I’m here to tell you whether that film is worth your hard-earned dollar. This week, a precocious six-year-old learns some hard life lessons in The Florida Project. This Is the Life, Man…
Chapter Thirteen “It’s Time” I look at Luke with disdain. I follow him through the rain at a rapid pace and don’t let him off the hook. The crumbled hut sits lifelessly behind me. The hut that had just been cradling such a tender connection—something I had never experienced before. Not like that. Luke quickens…
While not much is known in regards to plot in the upcoming Spider-Man spinoff Venom, and so far we only have the teaser trailer to base our excitement on, this is one character that many of us have been waiting for years to see properly embodied. After Spider-Man 3, we were assured time and again that Venom…
I’ve been waiting years, decades even, for a decent adaptation of the timeless classic by Madeleine L’Engle and I finally got one. I read the series of books several times growing up and I’ve often wondered why, with all of the remakes and reboots, we had only been presented with a made-for-TV movie in 2003…
Fresh Cut Episode five opens in a simple, polished strip mall barbershop. Razors and clippers abound and a Barack Obama portrait hangs on the wall. Paper Boi sits idly in a barber chair. He desperately needs a fresh-cut. Enter Bibby, wise-talking, chatter-mouth barber played by comedian Robert Powell III. Bibby, while simultaneously on his bluetooth,…

Looking for something to do while ducking all the family members for Easter egg hunts and spring picnics? Look no further than Netflix’s upcoming roster for April. It’s jam-packed with lots of crowd-pleasing hits, binge-worthy new Netflix originals, and a couple of classics. April will also herald some losses. Make sure to catch your favorites…
Chapter 12 “Desperation” No matter how hard I try to focus on anything, all my mind can settle on is that alluring spark that burned in Rey’s eyes when I saw her last. The light that flickered into life when we watched each other reach for the other’s hand. A beautiful beacon calling me…
In my last article regarding the Mandela Effect, I barely scratched the surface of the “changes” that have been reported by so many different people. The Lindbergh baby, Al Capone’s death, Ed McMahon and his disappearing career, the Egyptian pyramids, and heck – even the namesake of this phenomenon, could quite likely be things that…
Let’s Get Weird Episode four of Atlanta is markedly weirder than those before it. If you thought season one had plenty of bizarre, surreal imagery, season two, especially last Thursday’s “Helen,” promises a departure into dreamlike territory. Think Raymond Roussel’s Locus Solus and Andre Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism. Back when Donald Glover and company were promoting…

Ever since the beheading of Ned Stark in the first season of Game of Thrones, every fan knows better than to bank on the safety of any of its characters. This is part of the formula that gives the show its edge, and it’s what has fans biting their finger nails as they wait for…
With my recent article on the Syfy channel’s upcoming Superman related Krypton, I got to thinking about the movie history of DC comics’ other superhero ‘Batman.’ Batman has always been a personal favorite. I even have several related tattoos and had a rather large comic book collection once-upon-a-time. I’ve also seen the mass majority of…
