Deadpool & Wolverine

By | Jul 26, 2024 | Movies, Reviews

No spoilers, but there is one pretty inessential post-credits scene. Well, here we are at long last, 15 years since X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the movie this site was founded to defend, with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman finally reunited, and making their way into the MCU five years after the sale of 20th Century Fox/Studios.

City Hunter

By | Apr 30, 2024 | Movies, Reviews

I’m not especially familiar with “City Hunter,” Tsukasa Hojo’s iconic 1985-1991 manga, that’s been finally turned into a live-action film in its homeland thanks to Netflix and director Yûichi Satô: my main experience with the series was the 1993 movie from Hong Kong, starring Jackie Chan, a cheerfully dated time capsule of HK cinema most […]

The Marvels

By | Nov 14, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

By now, you might have heard that The Marvels is underperforming at the box office and wondering if it’s just not worth seeing. Well, that low performance is a huge shame, because The Marvels is one of the best movies this side of Endgame. It’s fun, it’s filled with great action, and it gives all […]

Babylon 5: The Road Home

By | Aug 25, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

I was there, when Babylon 5 first came to streaming. I was there, when Babylon 5 was remastered. I was there for all five seasons of the station that wraps humans and aliens in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal . . . all alone in the night. I was there at the dawn of the new age, traveling The Road Home.

Blue Beetle

By | Aug 21, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

As we enter the strange grey area between the cinematic Flashpoint-inspired Flash movie and James Gunn’s reshaping of the DC cinematic universe, it can be hard to feel excited about another superhero movie without knowing how it actually fits or if it’s going to be retconned away. But that should in no way discourage anyone […]

The Wolverine: 10 Years Later

Thanks to Ryan for stepping up to the task and reevaluating this second standalone Wolvie outing. For those craving more Wolverine film goodness, we’ve got you covered. When […]

Stan Lee

By | Jun 21, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

On paper, the idea of a documentary about Stan Lee’s life narrated by archive recordings of the Man himself seemed like a terrible idea, for several reasons. Firstly, the idea of stitching together various interviews (where he sounds jarringly different at times because of the ages they were recorded at) does not seem like it […]

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

By | Jun 9, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

Picking up seven years after Bumblebee, this second prequel in the Transformers series is looking to stand on its own while also bridging what is an effective standalone movie and the rest of the series to the Michael Bay era, and it is mostly successful in that endeavor.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

By | Jun 5, 2023 | Movies, Reviews

Across the Spider-Verse is, almost obviously, excellent. It’s a film that genuinely challenges itself visually, consistently working to surprise every demographic placed in front of it. This is the kind of story that is vital to the generative lifeblood of animation, even when it concedes to tropes or stacks its plate too high. You can […]
