Trailer Reaction: MARVEL'S WHAT IF?

Check out my latest trailer reaction for the upcoming Marvel Studios animated series, WHAT IF?

Trash Bin: THE SPIRIT (2008)

Welcome to another installment of the TRASH BIN, where we watch the worst movies Hollywood has to offer (according to the critics), and give you our thoughts, good or bad. This week, we take a look at comic writer, artist, and now director, Frank Miller, and his film...THE SPIRIT!

The Spirit is a strange movie, as polarizing and as oddball as it can be, that much I think is safe to say. It's based on the Will Eisner comic strips of the same name, but doesn't resemble them in the slightest. It's got a big name in the director's chair, but they're not a big name because of anything related to film, Frank Miller. It resembles Sin City, but in reality is...well...I don't quite know what. It's dark and noir-ish, except when Sam Jackson starts going on about eggs, and dresses like a Nazi. The movie is full of these contradictions, and untangling what exactly I'm supposed to be looking at is like the Spirit himself untangling a good mystery. Except for here where it's hardly a mystery to begin with. Let me start over. Did I enjoy this movie? Oh, absolutely. Is it any good? Well...let me explain.

Retro Review: THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT (1996)

Welcome to another installment of RETRO REVIEW where we take a trip back in time to look at films made before the year 2000.  Today we review the 1996 Christmas-set action flick from the same writer of Lethal Weapon, Shane Black...THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT.  Enjoy!

Movie Review: KONG: SKULL ISLAND

Kong: Skull Island is the reboot film for the King Kong character set in Legendary’s MonsterVerse.

The film stars Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, John C. Reilly, John Goodman, Corey Hawkins, Toby Kebbell, Thomas Mann, Shea Whigham, and Tian Jing.

Movie Review: MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN

After his grandfather's death, teenager Jacob (Asa Butterfield) decides to embark on a journey towards a Welsh island about which his grandfather used to tell him weird stories that he claimed to be actually true about his life. When Jacob gets there he is ready to accept that those were only fairy tales, yet when he discovers Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children he discovers he might just have found a world where he belongs and much, much more.

Bruno Delbonnel as the director of photography, Jane Goldman as screenwriter, Eva Green as leading lady, Samuel Jackson as the villain, and Tim Burton as director are all elements that combined to this quirky and fascinating premise, indicate towards something to be excited about. Unfortunately, this picture does not deliver the adventure we might have imagined, yet by all means it manages to carry you to a colorful, wacky world that I might actually want to revisit sometime.
