Wonder Woman 1984: needs more development/editing

Posted on February 27, 2021 by Steve

It’s a good thing AT&T prepared for a beating by going with this sequel via streaming because 84 was another mediocre DC movie. What a pisser, I really liked the first one plus I was looking forward to the next chapter … Continue reading →

RIP Joel Schumacher

Posted on June 22, 2020 by Steve

Joel was often mocked and reviled for what he did in Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, I recall there’s a joke in Robot Chicken in which a convention goer calls him History’s Greatest Monster. However, he did helm a few well-loved films before … Continue reading →

DC Comics and Diamond part ways

Posted on June 6, 2020 by Steve

Yesterday, DC announced that it will have all its comic books, novels, etc. distributed by two new companies this Summer. For over 25 years, Diamond Comic Distributors has been the sole solution if you buy your stuff from direct-sales stores … Continue reading →

The other Dynamic Duo of the Seventies!

Posted on April 28, 2020 by Steve

A whole new generation of kids was going to be introduced to Blue Falcon and Dynomutt next month via an upcoming Scooby Doo movie but the Pandemic killed its theatrical release; it will be out digitally though. For me, I … Continue reading →

RIP Brian Dennehy

Posted on April 17, 2020 by Steve

For a long time, Brian was the original “You know…that guy…he was in…umm, Cocoon and I think Tommy Boy!” actor. I was guilty of forgetting his name too until Cocoon which would’ve been around 1985. What can you say though. Being “forgotten” because you … Continue reading →

Halloween 2019: the LEGO® avatars and guests!

Posted on October 31, 2019 by Steve

I went with Where’s My Pants‽ Guy. Co-Worker/Friend Holly is Elvira. This year’s guests are a couple bootlegs I scored this Summer: Spider-Ham and The Mask. Then there’s a possessed waitress from LEGO’s new The Hidden Side sets and Captain Phasma … Continue reading →

Joker: Worth Seeing

Posted on October 27, 2019 by Steve

I ran out of true Horror movies to review for this October but given how the last couple years have been a shit show under Orange Foolius, I think this interpretation fits the bill. In short, I liked it immensely … Continue reading →

Spider-Man: Far From Home: Worth Seeing

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Steve

After a huge event movie (Aftermath) bringing 11 years of story to a close, one would think the trivial adventures and personal life of Spider-Man would be a letdown. Not so, Kevin Feige brilliantly found a way to give the … Continue reading →

Brightburn: Worth Seeing!

Posted on July 6, 2019 by Steve

An unusual combination of a Superhero origin story that transforms into a Horror movie. Not an easy feat but the people behind it succeed. Be warned, it did get pretty gruesome in how the victims meet their grisly fates. The … Continue reading →

Welcome to July with a shift in timeliness

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Steve

For the last couple months I have been digging out slowly while sticking mostly to the chronological series of events with the exception of keeping the header art, color scheme and my exercise progression updated. Given the events of last … Continue reading →

Avengers: Endgame: Must See

Posted on June 7, 2019 by Steve

It’s safe to finally discuss Endgame since I think the Spider-Man: Far from Home trailer revealed a major spoiler. So far I have to say, it was quite a perfect, climatic ending to a string of 20-plus movies spanning over 11 years; even bigger … Continue reading →

Shazam! (aka Captain Marvel): Worth Seeing

Posted on May 10, 2019 by Steve

Finally another notch in the win column for DC. It accompanies Wonder Woman and not the dreadful Justice League, Batman v. Superman, Man of Steel or the by-the-numbers Aquaman. A less-serious adaptation of their Captain Marvel (known as Shazam by stupid people … Continue reading →

Captain Marvel (Marvel): Worth Seeing

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Steve

MCU gambles on an obscure character again but doubles down on setting the story in the recent past, probably to match the soundtrack filled with overplayed crap better. Cynical jab aside, Marvel succeeded again in making an excellent film centered around a … Continue reading →

Aquaman: Worth Seeing*

Posted on January 8, 2019 by Steve

I initiate Aquaman with an asterisk because it’s good but it just isn’t terribly original while succeeding in making one of DC’s least interesting superheroes watchable, today, in a few years I doubt it. Sure, the character started becoming more appealing when … Continue reading →
