‘Joker’ Movie Review

Joker (2019) is a painfully self-serious film that thinks it says more than it really does.

Another Think-piece About Spider-Man’s Future On Film

EDIT: Well, this post is now irrelevant. That was fast. Chances are if you're reading this you already know about the Sony/Disney Spider-Man kerfuffle. I'm not really interested in going in depth about the big picture legal stuff here, so here's my brief opinion on that stuff: both Disney and Sony are big evil corporations, … Continue reading Another Think-piece About Spider-Man’s Future On Film →

Reunion

This is an assignment for my Story Revision Class. More info after the story. This was a predictable night to Angie so far. Predictable, but inevitable. She knew her partner, Milo, would get drunk at the high school reunion. They tend to drink when in uncomfortable situations, and at least 60% of the people at … Continue reading Reunion →

The Potential of Superman vs. Godzilla

For a solid week, I've been thinking about how a Superman/Godzilla crossover could work. Here's some ramblings about the potential themes it could cover.

Should We Mess With Watchmen?

(This editorial was originally posted on TheComicsBolt.com) Watchmen (written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons) is one of the most influential and celebrated graphic novels of all time. It is a dark and gritty deconstruction of superhero comics that tells one cohesive story with a compelling cast of characters that people are fascinated … Continue reading Should We Mess With Watchmen? →

‘Toy Story 4’ Review

This review contains SPOILERS for Toy Story 4 I guess this is the weekend for new additions to franchises about living toys that I have a personal relationship with. So like most kids my age, I grew up with the Toy Story series. I've seen the original two countless times, and Toy Story 3 still … Continue reading ‘Toy Story 4’ Review →

‘Child’s Play’ (2019) Review

Up until a couple of years ago, I was scared of Chucky. I never had a problem with other classic slashers, but Chucky got to me for whatever reason. At some point, the fear became mild discomfort, and my dad encouraged me to watch the original Child's Play during my Halloween movie marathon last year. … Continue reading ‘Child’s Play’ (2019) Review →

‘Dark Phoenix’ Review

This review contains spoilers for 'Dark Phoenix' I'm not the biggest X-Men fan in the world. I like some of the movies (namely Logan, Days of Future Past, and First Class), and growing up I occasionally watched X-Men Evolution and Wolverine & the X-Men, but I don't have the same attachment to them that others … Continue reading ‘Dark Phoenix’ Review →

‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ (2019) Review

So Godzilla: King of the Monsters kind of rules. Like the 2014 film, it uses the structure of a classic Showa (1954's Gojira-1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla) and combines it with modern Hollywood sensibilities. These two things compliment each other extremely well, as the directing styles and acting of modern Hollywood make the human scenes more … Continue reading ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ (2019) Review →

‘Brightburn’ (2019) Review

This review contains spoilers for Brightburn. So I really liked Brightburn. It's a good horror movie that does some interesting stuff with the slasher and superhero genres. This is one of the few times where the slasher is also the protagonist, and it makes for a more emotional experience than most of its contemporaries. Brandon … Continue reading ‘Brightburn’ (2019) Review →
