MOVIE Morning

Hey everyone, welcome back to another review here on MOVIE MORNING and today, I finally review one of my most anticipated movies of the year: The Flash. Wow, the narrative on this film has changed SO MUCH over the past number of years. Initially learning that cameras were FINALLY rolling on a Flash film, who is my 2nd favorite DC character of all-time, and that Michael Keaton (& Ben Affleck) would...

Hey everyone, this is a list I've been compiling for a couple of months now (ever since Gunn's announcement of the DCU: Chapter One "Gods and Monsters"). I have been waiting and waiting to have the time to plan and record this mammoth of a list that covers the 10 movies and/or shows that I want to see made the most in James Gunn and Peter Safran's upcoming soft reboot of the DC Universe. To be cle...

Hey everyone, here we go again... the latest Transformers film - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts - has now hit theaters in my local market and to say I was skeptical would be an understatement. I've grown up owning a LARGE amount of Transformers toys and enjoying some of the early material but these movies really burned me by Age of Extinction and The Last Knight. I'm a fan of Steven Caple Jr's w...

Hey everyone, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, one of the greatest comic book movies I've ever seen, has been out in theaters and I have been dying to stack it up against some of my other favorite Spider-Man movies, ranking all of the theatrically-released ones from worst to best. This is a list I have updated many times and will continue to update because Spider-Man is one of my favorite char...

Hey everyone, the FULL trailer for one of my most (quietly) anticipated movies of the summer - TMNT: Mutant Mayhem has finally released. This movie is only just over 2 months away and finally, we have great looks at the animation, the style of story and comedy, the voices of the turtles and the rest of the cast and the villain: Superbly. As a lifelong fan of all incarnations of the Teenage Mutant...

Hey everyone... WOW. I just saw Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and, still, hours later, I am at a loss for words and CANNOT stop thinking about this film. It is work of art on every level and is an indescribable and mind-blowing experience in every conceivable way. I don't even know where to begin with the experience I just had with Across the Spider-Verse. The first film is one of my favorit...

Hey everyone, so I was not planning on doing this but I honestly had too many thoughts after seeing it to not do a review, so here it is, my review of the 2023 live-action remake of the Disney animated classic, The Little Mermaid. I have been REALLY burnt out by these Disney remakes over the past number of years so I had very low expectations going into The Little Mermaid, combined with the fact t...

Hey everyone, we're now a couple of weeks into the summer and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the first blockbuster of the season, kicked it off with a HIGH, high note. If it's any indication, we're in for a fantastic summer of movies! This is easily one of my favorite times of the year and there are a TON of summer movies to look forward to so here we are, my top 10 most anticipated movies of the...

Hey everyone, Fast X - the first part of the finale to the Fast Saga - has released I theaters. As I've stated before, I'm a pretty big fan of these movies and grew to be a massive fan by binging 8 of these films right after The Fate of the Furious came out. I was looking forward to Fast X and the concept of them closing out this franchise, at last, on their own terms but felt F9 just went way too...

Hey everyone... well, it's finally here. My most anticipated movie of the year - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - has now arrived in theaters. I had the immense pleasure and joy of seeing this movie a few days ago and now, I'll be sharing y thoughts on this film and whether James Gunn delivered a closing chapter to his time with these wonderful characters that felt satisfying. You all know how muc...

Hey everyone, with John Wick: Chapter 4 being out in theatres for a few weeks now and me finally getting a chance to check it out for a second time, I thought it was a great time to finally rank all 4 of the John Wick films from the worst to the best. This ranking will include SPOILERS from all 4 Chapters of John Wick since it's been a few weeks and I have to imagine that if you're interested in s...

Hey everyone, Renfield - AKA the NICOLAS CAGE DRACULA FILM - has finally hit theaters. While this was no one's absolute most anticipated movie of the year, this has been one I've been keeping my eye on very closely , hoping for a movie that actually turns out to be as awesome as a movie that starts Nic Cage as Dracula should be. I'm not typically the biggest horror guy on the Internet but the prem...

Hey everyone, I'm a week late but The Super Mario Bros. Movie - one of the most highly anticipated films of the year - has finally released in theatres. Thirty years after Nintendo's previous attempt to adapt Mario into live-action, they've teamed up with Illumination and delivered a movie that has SHATTERED box office records globally. While I am not a Mario super fan, I did really en...

Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning and man, I just had one of the busiest weeks of my life in YEARS and that's the week when the studios decided to BOMBARD us with trailers for a bunch of high profile movies & shows releasing in in the rest fo 2023. So, to catch up and not pick between hairs, I've decided to just cover, what I thought, were the 6 BIGGEST trailers of the past week (beginni...

Hey everyone, the new Ben Affleck directed film - AIR - has released in theatres. Ben Affleck is an OSCAR-winning writer and has directed a movie that's won BEST PICTURE. He's one of the greatest creative forces working in the business right now and he alongside Matt Damon (who's the lead of this film)) literally won Oscars in their 20's for writing one of the best movies ever made: Good Will Hunt...

Hey everyone, yesterday I got to check out a sneak preview screening of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I really had no excitement (or even really plans) to go see this movie even just a month or two back but I have to admit... the more I saw and heard about this film, the more I wanted to see it. The positive reviews combined with a great cast, director and entertaining clips built my in...

Hey everyone, the Baba Yaga has returned as John Wick: Chapter 4 has finally released after 4 years of waiting. This franchise started as a simple Keanu Reeves revenge thriller but has now turned into the premium action movie franchise in Hollywood and there's a lot riding on this chapter. As a lifelong fan of action cinema, I was so excited to see whether Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves and crew wou...

Hey everyone, the latest instalment of one of my absolute favorite film franchises of all-time - the Rocky/Creed series - has now released, in Creed III. These films are so inspirational, entertaining and motivational that I watch all these movies multiple times a year. Even the lower films on this ranking are still very good movies and leagues above movies of similar placements within other block...

Hey everyone, the sequel to the 2019 DC hit - Shazam! Fury of the Gods - has now hit theatres. I, unfortunately, had to wait a to see it because I was a little under the weather but I have now seen it and I can finally understand what people've been saying about this for the past couple of days. While I was a fan of the first Shazam!, this was easily my least anticipated DC film of the year becaus...

Hey everyone, season 3: episode 3 of The Mandalorian has hit Disney+. I haven't 100% LOVED this season so far but I was looking forward to watching this next episode as it's one of the top 3 longest episodes of the show so far. In this SPOILER REVIEW & BREAKDOWN, find out all the hidden details you may have missed during chapter 19 of The Mandalorian 'The Convert' and what my thoughts on this unor...

Hey everyone, Scream VI has been out for a few days so it's time to rank all 6 Scream movies from the worst to the best. This ranking will include SPOILERS for every film in the franchise with the exception of Scream VI because it just came out. I have been really looking forward to this because this franchise is so consistent and I honestly think the middle four placements are pretty much interch...

Hey everyone, the season 1 finale of HBO's The Last of Us has aired. This show has been amazing and it's sad that potentially the best show I've ever covered weekly on this show has come to an end; at least, the first season has. "Look for the Light" tells the story of the ending of The Last of Us - the first game - and definitely takes some twists and turns that newer audiences to this story defi...

Hey everyone, Scream VI has finally landed in theatres globally and I have been eagerly awaiting this latest instalment since I started binging this franchise for the very first time just a couple of months ago. These movies are just such a solid group of clever and creative slashers that deliver what you expect from the genre with a meta twist. I had a BLAST watching these movies and I was really...

Hey everyone, it’s finally back. After over a two year hiatus, The Mandalorian has returned to the televisions with season 3. As someone who’s been covering this show since it’s premiere back in 2019, I was chomping at the bits to finally get to cover this show weekly again. Unfortunately though, I was not able to cover the season 3 premiere last week so I will give you my thoughts on Chapter 17 '...

Hey everyone, episode 8 of HBO's The Last of Us, titled 'When We Are In Need', has released. This show continues to fire on ALL cylinders and I am LOVING how they're staying close to the general plot beats but changing the mechanism of how certain things happen. Episode 8 introduces us to David and a new society in this post-apocalyptic world as well as setting character relationships going into t...
