Not even jason momoa can save ‘aquaman’ from itself

Not Even Jason Momoa Can Save ‘Aquaman’ from Itself

Let’s be honest—Aquaman’s just not the kind of superhero people generally make movies about. I grew up watching the original Super Friends cartoons, and all I really remember about him is that he could breathe under water and talk to fish with his mind. And his outfit was kind of dorky. That’s about it. Not…

Michael Myers Is Back (and Better than Ever) in a ‘Halloween’ Sequel That Finally Gets It Right

Halloween (Rated R; in theaters everywhere October 19th) I’ll just come right out and say it—the original Halloween movie wasn’t all that good. I can hear the angry mob sharpening their pitchforks outside my window now, but that’s my opinion, and I stand by it. Sure, it was groundbreaking for its time, and it gave…

Sci-Fi Back to School Movie Pick: ‘Aliens Ate My Homework’ on Netflix!

As parents across the country low-key celebrate the start of the school year, kiddos bid farewell to summer ’18. My little one is at the age where he is begging to go to school so I saw fit to introduce him to the Bruce Coville’s inter-galactic action adventure– Aliens Ate My Homework! Aliens Ate My…

‘The Happytime Murders’ is Surprisingly Fun (As Long As You Know What You’re Getting Into)

The Happytime Murders (Rated R; in theaters August 24th) Muppets have always held a special place in my heart. Both Sesame Street and the original Muppet Show (yes, I’m that old) played a big role in my childhood development. One taught me the alphabet and basic math, and the other taught me that pigs and…

The subjects: the best ‘superhero’ movie you’ve probably never seen

The Subjects: The Best ‘Superhero’ Movie You’ve Probably Never Seen

It doesn’t have the big budget of The Avengers or The Dark Knight and there aren’t any Earth-hating Gods or aliens, but 2015’s The Subjects does bring a unique angle to the question “what superpower would you want to have?”  When seven people – oh wait… 8 people (ya gotta watch that Phil fellow) – show up…

‘star wars: the last jedi’ doesn’t deserve the flack it’s getting

‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Doesn’t Deserve the Flack It’s Getting

Many people are giving the new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, a lot of flack. However, I personally think it was one of the best ones yet, save for a couple of elements, such as an unnecessary plot line (but more on that later).  Fans Are Annoyed By That Unnecessary Adventure Many original trilogy Star Wars fans aren’t too…

‘justice league’ does no justice to dc universe

‘Justice League’ Does No Justice to DC Universe

Hopes were high when DC’s newest attempt, Justice League, hit theaters on November 17th. But as reviews have trickled in, it seems DC has let down fans yet again. The comic book empire has not had much luck with film adaptations (besides the Batman series and Wonder Woman). Suicide Squad was laughed out of the theaters…

Dc comics vs rotten tomatoes: ‘suicide squad’ movie review

DC Comics vs Rotten Tomatoes: ‘Suicide Squad’ Movie Review

The best things hands down about the film are its characters and its style. This movie has been compared to Guardians of the Galaxy for its  comedy and ensemble cast and Deadpool for its hardcore violence and vulgarity, yet light tone. Which makes sense, but is really unfair because its style is nothing like any other movie….

‘batman v superman’ didn’t suck, you’re just a self-entitled cynic

‘Batman v Superman’ Didn’t Suck, You’re Just a Self-Entitled Cynic

Seeing as how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been raking in the dough, it’s likely that most of you have already seen this film – and so you should. Because despite what some of your friends may have told you, despite being lampooned by the mainstream critic circuit, Dawn of Justice is, in…
