Review: Silent Night (2024) | Deaf Wish
I had fairly high hopes for John Woo’s Silent Night, though it never managed to rise above being a movie based on a gimmick (a modern movie – almost – entirely without dialog). The idea is interesting though the way the movie goes about doing it is really odd in that Brian Godlock (Joel Kinnaman) is shot in the throat, so no one else has dialog!? Why the producers didn’t have Godluck shot in…

Wolverine Mees Donald Duck
To be sure, most high-concept crossovers are fairly stupid – all one has to do is recall when in 1994 Marvel’s Punisher visited Archie Comics’ Riverdale – but despite the appearance of crossing streams, there’s a bizarre logic to it in that Archie is the polar opposite of the Punisher, which makes at the very least a really interesting combination. The most recent example revolves around Donald…

REview: 3 Body Problem, Season One (2024) | Well Worth The Time
I have to admit that I was a little hesitant about 3 Body Problem because I wasn’t a fan of Game of Thrones and both series were created by D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, so despite the latter being a fantasy series and the former science fiction, I had my doubts. I need not have worried because 3 Body Problem is good, really good. I also like that the first season lasts only eight episodes –…

Trailer Into Reaction - Alien: Romulus (2024) | Official Teaser Trailer
The trailer for Fede Alvarez’s ‘Alien: Romulus’ is finally here, though if you’ve been looking for it prior on YouTube I can understand your skepticism since trailers for the movie have been turning up for the better part of a year. Though I assure you, this is the real thing though don’t take my word for it.

Trailer Into REaction - Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024) | Official Trailer
Earlier today a trailer dropped for Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver and it pissed me off a bit. Reason being Zach Snyder is at best a mediocre director; all flash and very little substance and that he’s received millions to make mediocre movies means that someone – or perhaps a lot of someones – aren’t going to get a chance to maybe, just maybe, do a little bit better. So…

Trailer Into REaction: The Spider (2024) | Official Trailer
I have not been too enthusiastic about what I have seen of the recent crop of horror movies adapted from characters recently introduced in the public domain, like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse because (particularly in the case of the former) they seem to forget why people loved them in the first place. Though imagine my surprise to learn that there’s a horror adaptation of Spider-Man called…

I Paid $60 For Popcorn
I’m paraphrasing an article from The Wrap where the writer talks about the purchase of ‘collectables,’ which in this instance happens to hold popcorn. What. Is. Wrong. With. People!? I ask because why is anyone overpaying for essentially a tin that is VERY likely to be worth less than the popcorn that fills it and will be forgotten soon after they see the movie? if you’re spending the better…

TR3N
Jared Leto posted an image from the upcoming Tron 3 or TR3N (a weird jumble of letters an a ‘3’ though unlike M3GAN it at least makes sense it that it’s the third Tron movie) on Instagram and apparently the movie carries over the design esthetic from Tron: Legacy (2010) That’s good and bad because while Joseph Kosinski brought a great visual esthetic to the second movie I also thought that it…

'Stinger' In A 'Teacup'
When I first heard that James Wan was developing a series based on Robert McCammon’s excellent novel,Stinger, I had mixed feelings. The novel revolves around an alien (the language of the creature isn’t directly translatable to any human language so the closest we can get to what the creature is is ‘Stinger of the House of Fists’) that crash lands on Earth in pursuit of another different alien…

Do We Need A New Version of 'Salem's Lot?'
Apparently there’s a new version of Stephen King’s Salems’s Lot, and according to King it’s quite good though for whatever reason Warner Bros. has not released it (in theaters or streaming). Now I can see why Stephen King is concerned, after all it’s not beyond reason to think that maybe the series/movie will not be released at all, a repeat of what happened to Batgirl. Or Coyote Vs…

REview: Jeepers Creepers II: Great Movie, Awful Director
I hadn’t seen Victor Salva‘s Jeepers Creepers II in a while so I recently rewatched it. And it’s better than I remembered. Jeepers Creepers II takes place after the original 2001 film with a new story that reveals more information about The Creeper and by my reckoning is one of the best sequels ever made, independent of genre because it does what great sequels to, which is to say advance the…

Gina Carano's Lawsuit is Going to Lose
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gina Cerano is suing Disney because she was fired from The Mandalorian in 2021. And it’s a lawsuit she’s likely to lose because as I understand it actors are At Will Employees, which is to say they can be fired for virtually any reason at all (and while an employer couldn’t fire a person because they weren’t the ‘right’ color, female, handicapped or things of…

Review: A Dark Song (2016) | 'Hellblazer' Done Right
I have never really liked Constantine (2005) because Keanu Reeves was not only wrong for the role physically (he looks nothing like John Constantine as typically depicted, but in making the character American as opposed to British the filmmakers changed characteristics that were essential to his nature (being British, like any other group of people anywhere, is more than a physical location. It’s…

REview - Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire (2023) | What Did You Expect!?
I watched Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon a week or so ago and…it was watchable but to be fair that’s a fairly low bar. A better question would perhaps be ‘Is it any good?’ And the answer is ‘No, it is not. Not really.’ Zach Snyder isn’t much of writer and while he didn’t tackle Rebel Moon alone (while Snyder wrote the story, the screenplay was written with Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten) it takes so…

'Rebel Moon' Special Release
Let’s be clear, I’m looking forward to catching Zach Snyder’s Rebel Moon and am jazzed to learn that it’s premiering a day earlier – the 21st instead of the 22nd – though I’m not expecting much because it’s based on an idea created by Snyder himself. Though let’s back up for a moment. What was to become Rebel Moon started life as Snyder’s bid to direct a Star Wars film for Lucasfilm, though…

About 'Summer of 85'
I just watched François Ozon’s Summer of 85 and for the most part enjoyed it, except for two things. The first was when Alexis Robin (Félix Lefebvre) and Kate (Philippine Velge) visited the body of David Gorman (Benjamin Voisin) at the morgue. Here’s where the movie veered dangerously close to slapstick with a really odd tonal shift (and that’s not to say that that was Ozon’s intent but it was…

REview: Saturn 3 (1980)| It's Not Great (Though It Is Awesome)
You can probably guess from the title of this article that I don’t think Saturn 3 is a great movie though what I find most interesting is that you can see the potential for greatness all over it. As I mention in the video, the original director, John Barry, left the production after only two weeks and while I can’t definitively say what he shot and what he didn’t I choose to believe the more…
