MADAME WEB MOVIE REVIEW Sony Pictures’ spin-off Spider-verse keeps getting more bizarre in the way it plucks side characters from Spider-Man’s story and reinvents them for its own purposes.

BLUE BEETLE MOVIE REVIEW DC has obviously been going through some changes of late with their filmed content and Blue Beetle may, or may not be, the first in the new DCU. Honestly, it’s really just a stand alone, which is probably for the best as it really lets what works about it shine: the […]

SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE MOVIE REVIEW I’m going to start by telling you something that the studios really dropped the ball on making extremely clear about Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse: it’s part one of two and ends on a huge cliffhanger.

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA I never expected the Ant-Man movies to make it to three, even with Paul Rudd’s inexhaustible charm.

BLACK ADAM MOVIE REVIEW So, from what it sounds like to me, The Rock walked right into WB offices, said, here, I’m Black Adam. Make the movie, and turned around and walked out. That’s my imagining of it anyway. I’ll tell you that DC’s latest super-hero film definitely feels like a bunch of executives scrambling […]
