After The Endgame.

minor spoilers for Avengers: Endgame ahead… The current wave of comic book based films seemed to have started back in the summer of 2008. Surely by that time, there were many comic book based films that people were already exposed to by that time — you know, 20th Century Fox’s X-Men franchise, Sony Pictures’ still-running (to a degree) Spider-Manfranchise, […]

Lessons From Singleton.

Earlier last week, the world lost a true creative visionary. Director John Singleton passed away due to a stroke, to the dismay of many people in the film industry, and many cinephiles, including myself.

A Moment of Sappiness…

I’m giving all of you a Valentine’s Day gift– in the form of of YouTube clips of some of my favorite sappy scenes from movies.

More Money, More (microtransaction) Problems: A Rant, part 1.

I remember as far back as 20 years ago, the way we consumed video games was quite different from the way we take it all in now. I mean, back then, I was a 15-year old kid who was doing either one of two things: Playing basketball with my friends in the neighborhood (while also […]

Vibranium and Gold…

… As in Academy Award Gold. Earlier today, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated various films in all of the usual categories. However, an unexpected nomination for Best Picture has been announced– 2018’s billion-dollar hit, Marvel Studios/Disney’s Black Panther.

Who Ya Gonna Call? Jason Reitman.

In a very surprising announcement, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced today that production of a new Ghostbusters sequel will start this year. And nope, it’s not a sequel to the 2016 female-headlined reboot. It is actually a sequel to the original films from 1984 and 1989. Director Jason Reitman (son of original director, Ivan) will head […]

Tom Holland Gets Back in the Swing of Things…
