Robert Pattinson is on top of the world right now; in the past few years, he has given anywhere from standout to masterful performances in The Lighthouse, The Batman, The Boy and the Heron, Mickey 17, Die My Love, The Drama, and The Odyssey. And that’s not counting his hotly anticipated upcoming role as the antagonist of Dune … Read more
I’m not going to claim to be some kind of expert on video game film adaptations – oh wait, I am. Having watched an obscene amount of these films, both Eastern and Western, animated and live action, I can confirm that creating an adaptation of a game does not seem to be easy. Until recently, … Read more
If you only look at the highlights, it’d be hard to deny that Ridley Scott is one of the great Hollywood Directors. From starting his career in the late ’70s/early ’80s with the incredible one-two punch of Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982), to winning Best Picture and kicking off a new major trend in … Read more
What do you know about the wives of Henry VIII? Their names, their eventual fates? Their solo numbers? SIX tells the story of Catharine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr in the form of a girl group’s pop concert, moving the six queens out of time and … Read more
Spider-Man Brand New Day has had a lot riding on it – not only does it need to continue Spider-Man’s story from a very difficult place, but it needs to reinvigorate the plateaued interest the public has in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before Avengers Doomsday hits this December. This is a tall order, because many MCU … Read more
Whenever Christopher Nolan is asked why he wanted his next movie to be The Odyssey, he will point out that there has been a gap in the culture; nobody had told this story on the big screen before. And surprisingly, he’s right that there has never been a major Hollywood adaptation of the epic poem … Read more
Avatar: The Last Airbender has always been extremely important to me, from watching the premiere as a little kid on Nickelodeon to holding watch parties in college for The Legend of Korra to reading the comics. In my adulthood, during COVID, I rediscovered Avatar when it came to streaming and saw an entirely new show unfold in front … Read more
A Brand New Day is upon is, full of both spiders and men in equal amounts. But perhaps that will change in the new movie? Regardless, we actually don’t know a lot about Spider-Man’s newest adventure, despite the copious marketing for it, which has me both nervous and excited as a lifelong fan of the … Read more
The first full trailer for Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday is here, and if you’re a regular ole Marvel fan, you’ve likely fallen off the wagon since Avengers: Endgame in 2019. That’s okay! It’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the movies and TV shows in the MCU nowadays, so you’d be forgiven for not having seen … Read more
I have often seen the sentiment, particularly since his Oscar win with Oppenheimer, that Christopher Nolan himself is Hollywood’s most valuable IP.

Nolan’s name carries a weight, a seal … Read more
