MOVIE Morning

I am very, VERY late but at last, I finally got to see Gran Turismo - a movie that's been on my radar ever since the trailer and premise came out. I thought it was so interesting g that they decided to base this film on a story that the video game IP inspired; it's certainly a different approach to a 'video game movie.' I am by no means a player of Gran Turismo but I've been hearing good things fo...

Hey everyone, we've got some VERY interesting new rumors in regards to Matt Reeves' upcoming THE BATMAN - PART II, continuing the epic crime saga set up in the first film and that would've continued in the Penguin series. I LOVED the first movie and some of what we've been hearing has me VERY, VERY intrigued. What I'll be going over here comes from X (formerly Twitter) scooper 'MyTimeToShineHello'...

Hey everyone, Avengers: Endgame released in theaters over 4 years ago.... and we've had tons of good and BAD comic book movies since. It opened and after under 3 months in theaters, it held a short-lived title of the biggest box office hit of all-time. It really marked a turning point in comic book movies, with many claiming that not only the MCU but also the genre peaking there. Because of that,...

Hey everyone, the first two episodes of Ahsoka have dropped on Disney+. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I have just been completely burnt out by these streaming shows of the past 2-3 years so I definitely went into this show with much lowered expectations than I would have, say, five years ago. However, I am fan of Star Wars: Rebels and watched that show right from the pilot until its pretty satisfyi...

Hey everyone, the first official hero of the DCU (according to James Gunn) - Blue Beetle - has flown into theaters with a new film a couple of days ago. Now that you big DC fans and Blue Beetle Battalion members have had the chance to see the film, it is time to discuss the mid-credits scene. There is also a post-credits scene but since that is a joke, I wanted to discuss the mid-credits scene. It...

Hey everyone, the introduction of the first DCU hero (in the words of James Gunn) - Blue Beetle - has now arrived in theaters, with Xolo Maridueña in the title role. I have loved the character of Blue Beetle (albeit the Ted Kord version) for a long time and he's a character who's deserved more of a spotlight than he's been given by DC over the past few decades. This project was very in...

Hey everyone, well, I've finally seen Barbie. I have been one of the few people in the Internet movie space who has not been all that excited for this film... despite being a pretty big fan of Greta Gerwig and a lot of the cast. The trailers haven't looked great to me and to be honest, the Film Twitter overhyping of this film kind of turned me off even more. With that said though, to celebrate wha...

Hello everyone, welcome back to another movie review and today, we'll be discussing... *sighs* Meg 2: The Trench (AKA DEFINITELY everyone's most anticipated movie of the summer!). I was not a fan of the first The Meg so I wasn't exactly chomping at the bits (*wink*) to go see this sequel. Admittedly though, the trailers for this made it look way more self-aware and bonkers fun than the previous on...

Hey everyone… well, well, well - here we go again. We, once again, have more Fantastic Four casting news but this does come from one of the more reliable scoopers on the internet: Jeff Sneider. It seems as if Vanessa Kirby has been cast as Sue Storm while we have a few names now lined up for Johnny Storm. That and more will be broken down in this news update. As well as that, I will be giving my t...

Hey everyone, we finally have an update on the highly-anticipated sequel to the previous two Scream films, which were helmed by the Radio Silence directors: Tyler Gillett and Matt Olpin. Earlier this year, I binged through the Scream films for the first time to make it to Scream VI with the rest of you all and I had an absolute blast. Now, we have official confirmation that they will be replaced b...

Hey everyone, the trailer for Loki Season 2 (premiering October 6th on Disney+) has now been released online. I absolutely loved the first season of Loki; it is still, without question, my favorite of any of the Disney+ shows we've had... which was shocking because I was so annoyed of the character dying and constantly coming back. I was getting a little worried going into this season when we foun...

Hey everyone, uh... here we go again. The finale of Secret Invasion has now aired and look, for those who were listening to this show before the episodes dropped, you all know that I was actually really excited for this show because of the potential of the genre. Right off the bat, I was disappointed with the first episode and since then, it's certainly had many ups and downs. It has now culminate...

Hey everyone, one of my favorite shows (if not my FAVORITE) is finally back with one new episode. Invincible, based off the WONDERFUL Image comic series spearheaded by Robert Kirkman, Corey Walker & Ryan Ottley, has returned with a special Atom Eve episode just in time for the announcement of the Season 2 release date (NOVEMBER 3!). This was a complete but very pleasant surprise so in this episode...

Hey everyone, Oppenheimer is finally here! Christopher Nolan is back with a new movie on the biggest screens on Earth and of course, it was a marvel behold in IMAX. As a lifelong Nolan fan who often points him out to be the filmmaker that inspired me most to start this show and talk about movies online on a regular basis, this was obviously one of my most anticipated movies of the year. On top of...

Hey everyone, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is finally here and it is the 7th installment of one of my favorite franchises of all-time. So, of course, it's time to rank them from the worst to the best in my personal opinion. I will talk openly about all these movies (SPOILERS) with the exception of Dead Reckoning Part One because it just released a couple of days ago in most market...

Hey everyone, at LONG last, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One - the 7th installment of the M:I franchise - has finally hit theaters. This has been on my most anticipated list for three years now (I believe). I have been waiting for almost five years to witness my first Mission film on the big screen, particularly since Fallout is one of my favorite action films of all time and one of m...

Hey everyone, we are now officially (over) halfway through 2023 and we've got 6 months of movies to look forward to for the second half of 2023. As a result, today I am going to be ranking my top 10 most anticipated movies for the rest of the year, along with a good number of honorable mentions. These lists are always so fun because they're filled with so many positive thoughts and excitement. PLE...

Hey everyone, The Flash, the film many consider to be the reset for the DCU, has now been out in theaters for a couple of weeks now and since I have gotten to see the film a few times now, it's finally time to rank them from the worst to best. I love the DC characters; I have my whole life and I always will but suffice to say, this particular universe is not the most loved by the general audience....

Hey everyone, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has now released in theaters and was set up as Harrison Ford's final adventure with the whip and fedora. As someone who loves the original trilogy, I went in VERY excited. Now that the 5th and final Indy film has released, I am ranking all 5 from the worst to the best. Please note that there will be SPOILERS for the first four films. I will n...

Hey everyone, the fifth and final Indiana Jones film starring Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - has now released in theaters. There has been a LONG wait for this final adventure, with delays and uncertainty as to whether Harrison Ford would ever play the character again. Last night, I couldn't really believe my eyes when I finally watched the movie and saw Ford don the fedora...

Hey everyone... well, here we are: the day many of us, including myself, have been waiting a long, LONG time to see. We have our new Superman. David Corenswet will officially star as James Gunn's Superman for Superman: Legacy with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane! The search for a Lex Luthor also seems to have officially begun and we've got the first names on the apparent shortlist of actors. Here, I...

Hey everyone, the premiere of Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion - the latest MCU Disney+ show - debuted just a couple of days ago. While I will not be reviewing this show weekly, I wanted to share some of my quick thoughts on the first episode. This is a show I was very much looking forward to due to the focus on Nick Fury and the serous, paranoia tone it had but did it deliver on its promise? Find...

Hey everyone, here we go again. The first trailer for Sony Marvel's latest Spider-Man villain-focused film - Kraven the Hunter - has now released... in full RED-BAND fashion. This was one brutal and violent trailer but does it show promise? Find out my thoughts here.

Hey everyone, The Flash has now hit theaters across the globe and I wanted to give you my opinion on not only the end of the film and it's post-credits scene, but what it could mean for the future of the DCU! The ending and it's implications have been heavily discussed on all social media over the past two days so today, I am going to be breaking down everything that happens in the final m...

Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning and today, I am reviewing Netflix's Extraction 2. The first film released during PEAK pandemic times and I remember everyone mentioning the amazing action of this film but I actually did not get around to watching it until a couple of years later. I thought Extraction had amazing action as I'd heard but I was not prepared for how dull everything else in...
