MOVIE Morning

Welcome back to another episode of MOVIE Morning as we discuss the first trailer for Sony and Marvel’s upcoming VENOM: THE LAST DANCE, the movie that seems to be Tom Hardy’s swan song playing this character. What I have I just witnessed? Rumors about the plot for this third entry have been circulating for a year now but now seeing the trailer, it’s pretty impressive how much they’ve been able to h...

Hey everyone... Garfield returns to the big screen in a new animated adaptation! The Garfield Movie is the latest summer 2024 blockbuster but one of the first to be directly aimed at kids so it's going to be interesting to see how the box office shapes up for this film over the next couple of weeks. While I was pretty big on reading Garfield comics on newspapers when I was younger, I can't exactly...

Oh, what a day. What a lovely day! Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - one of my absolute most anticipated movies of the entire year, let alone the summer movie season - has hit theaters. Straight from the mind of mastermind George Miller, Furiosa is the prequel to the universally beloved Mad Max: Fury Road, one of the greatest action movies ever made. I have LOVED Miller's Mad Max franchise for years now b...

Hey everyone, John Krasinski's latest film 'IF' has hit theaters globally! I absolutely LOVED his two 'A Quiet Place' films and I love that, instead of continuing in his sandbox, he Krasinski decided to do something wildly different for his next film: what he has called a film for his kids. So, is IF the charming (and tearjerking) family event of the summer or is it a little forgettable? Find out...

Hey everyone, "what a wonderful day!" Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, one of my most anticipated movies of the year, has now hit theaters! I absolutely loved the previous trilogy, particular the latter two films directed by Matt Reeves (who went on to direct The Batman). The trailers for this film and how it seemed like this movie was going to handle the legacy of Caesar seemed awesome to me. S...

Hey everyone, the day so many of us have been long-anticipating has finally arrived! James Gunn has dropped the first FULL LOOK at David Corenswet's Superman suit in the upcoming Superman film (formerly known as Superman: Legacy). This is EASILY my most anticipated upcoming movie because of how much I ADORE all of James Gunn's comic book films and how much Superman, as a character and role model,...

Hello everybody, welcome to a (for those of you in the US, slightly early) review of the new Ryan Gosling & Emily Blunt film: The Fall Guy. This was easily one of my most anticipated films of the year; not because I watched the original 80s TV show but because I just loved the concept of creating a love letter to stuntmen, the unsung heroes of Hollywood, in an action comedy that's also being direc...

Hey everyone, Zack Snyder is back with the second part of his 'Rebel Moon Epic' - The Scargiver. This film is intended to close out the story set up in Part One and, apparently, set up four other sequels or something (WHY???). As someone who enjoyed Part One enough and thought there was potential for this universe, Part Two quickly drained all the hope I had for this 'franchise'. F...

Hey everyone, Radio Silence's latest film Abigail has hit theaters! I've always enjoyed vampire flicks but more importantly, as I've been saying for years, I LOVE horror-comedies and Radio Silence seem to be doing a great job of keeping that blend of genres alive with Ready or Not, their two Scream films and now Abigail. So, is Abigail an instant classic of the vampire subset of the horror genre o...

Hey everyone, summer movie season is here once again! These days, the summer movie season pretty much lasts from like April all the way to the first week of September which is like half the year, reducing the special feeling of the season BUT it's where we get our super fun popcorn films so I'm ready to have a blast again this year. Today, I'll be counting down my top 10 most anticipated films of...

Hey everyone, the sequel to 2021's Ghostbusters: Afterlife and the fourth film in this continuity - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - has FINALLY hit theaters here! Better late than never! It has been a long 3-week wait for this film as this movie premiered pretty much EVERYWHERE else a while ago now, Traditionally though, I've never been the biggest Ghostbusters fan so does Frozen Empire match the ch...

Hey everyone, Alex Garland’s Civil War, the movie destined to be potentially the most polarizing film in 2024 has hit theaters globally. Being a casual fan of Garland’s previous work like Ex Machina and Annihilation, I was curious how this film would play for me considering I LOVED the trailers for this post-apocalyptic take on America. So, is Civil War going to stir up tones of controversy and di...

Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning. The trailer for the sequel to one of the first movies I ever reviewed on the show, Joker, has now hit the internet. I loved the first Joker but have had almost zero excitement for this sequel; I’ve been a lot more intrigued and curious. During WB’s Cinemacon presentation today, they dropped the first full look at the movie so let’s discuss it.

Hey everyone, the greatest superhero (show) in the universe - INVINCIBLE - has finally wrapped up the second half of season 2 on Amazon Prime Video. It has been a long wait to see season 2 and an even longer wait to see season 2 wrap up (obviously), including an almost 4-month long break in between parts. I have LOVED both the comic book series as well as the show for years now and the first half...

Hey everyone, the next installment of Legendary's MonsterVerse - Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - has hit theaters globally. I've never been huge into Kaijus and Godzilla films but I surprisingly enjoyed Godzilla vs. Kong (or at least the 30% of it that had epic monster action that was awesome). With Adam Wingard returning to direct I was hopeful that GxK would lean harder into the stuff...

Hey everyone, the 2024 remake of Road House, directed by Doug Liman and the insane amount of controversy on the release of this film, has now hit theatres. I hadn’t seen the original Road House until two months ago when the trailer for this film dropped and looked awesome. Because of that, I’ve been looking forward to sit down and check this out on Prime Video. So, does this film top the original...

Hey everyone, welcome back to MOVIE Morning. X-Men '97, the Marvel Studios revival of the original X-Men Animated Series has now begun on Disney+ with its first two episodes. I LOVE the X-Men and they've been out of the limelight for a few too many years so it's great to see iconic versions of these characters back on the small screen again. I also grew up watching the original 90'...

Hey everyone, it's finally happening! A Teen Titans movie is finally in the works at Warner Bros., and specifically DC Studios courtesy of James Gunn. The Hollywood Reporter revealed a couple of hours ago that Ana Noguiera (writer of the upcoming 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow') has been tapped to write the screenplay. The Teen Titans have featured some of my favorite DC heroes ever sin...

Hey everyone, with the HUGE (and surprise) box office success of Kung Fu Panda 4 so far, I wanted to continue the discussion about one of the most meaningful film franchises to me - the Kung Fu Panda series. Kung Fu Panda 2 was the first movie I EVER remember seeing in theaters and 13 years later, it's crazy that I am now sharing my ranking of all FOUR films in this franchise. This ranking will in...

Hey everyone, one of my most anticipated movies of the year - Kung Fu Panda 4 - has hit theaters. This franchise and these characters mean the absolute world to me. The first film has been one of my favorite most rewatched films since I was a child and Kung Fu Panda 2 is the first movie I remember seeing in theaters. I absolutely ADORE those first two films but Kung Fu Panda 3... was probably one...

Hey everyone, my 2nd most anticipated movie of 2024 - Dune: Part Two - has now hit theaters globally and I had the opportunity to see it on IMAX just a couple of days ago. Part One was one of my favorite movies of 2021 and Denis Villeneuve has to be one of, if not THE, greatest working directors today. He makes films that perfectly disaplay WHY I love going to the movies and started this show to b...

Hey everyone, my least anticipated movie of the year 'Madame Web' has finally hit theaters. I know I'm a little late but it's fair to say that I wasn't exactly looking forward to this experience. Oh well... here is my full, SPOILER-FREE review of Madame Web. Did it live up (DOWN) to my expectations? Find out in this review. Madame Web: Directed by: S.J. Clarkson Screenplay by: Matt Sazama & Burk S...

Hey everyone, at long, LONG last, the cast of Marvel Studios' upcoming 'The Fantastic Four' has been revealed. The rumors can finally end and the official cast is now out there. In this episode, I break down my thoughts on the cast as well as the hidden details in the teaser/promotional art Marvel released on their social media. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, Matthew Vaughn's latest film 'Argylle' has hit theaters globally. The backstory behind this film and the original SPY book it's based on has been fascinating and as a huge Matthew Vaughn fan, that only increased my excitement above already being pumped. And then bringing in cast members like Henry Cavill and Sam Rockwell only piqued my interest. So, is Argylle among Vaughn's best or...
