Happy belated birthday Kick-A*s!
If I was a better critic, I would have had this out yesterday. (Unmarked Spoilers) For those of you who don’t know, Kick-A*s is to superhero movies what Scream is to horror movies. The plot concerns this loser high school student named Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who decides to be a real-life superhero named Kick-A*s. He also finally earns …
A good reboot that nobody wanted.
A great thing about the internet is movies being released online before they’re out on DVD. Happy International Women’s Day! To celebrate, I’ve decided to look at a film that was made by and stars a cast of mostly women. Charlie’s Angels (2019), written, directed, and starring Elizabeth Banks.
It’s Harley Quinn’s world, they’re just living in it
Why didn’t I just use the money I spent on The Gentlemen for this? This movie’s got its title wrong. Instead of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), it should be Harley Quinn (guest-starring the Birds of Prey). (I dare you to say that sentence five times fast.) I suspected as much …

Are you in the mood to watch a movie?
Because I’ve got a movie for you to watch Friday night. Safecracker Red (Luke Bracey) has just gotten out jail and happily reunites with his family. His wife, Chloe (Nina Dobrev), is an aspiring artist with a whole show on prison walls and is forced to work with this scumbag name Derek Blarney (David Hewlett). …
The perfect palate cleanser
It’s not the worst Netflix original I’ve seen. The film follows a group of main characters who only go by codenames to avoid emotional attachments. And if that sounds familiar to you, it should because that’s writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese reusing the same idea from their previous film, Zombieland. (NSFW)
DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN
How many versions of the same movie are we going to get? (Unmarked Spoilers) After Halloween, I have another franchise that seems to be as unstoppable as its main villain — consisting of The Terminator, the one that started it all. Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the unquestioned apex of the series that has almost everything you could want …
Will they save the world or mock each other to death first?
Good God there are a ton of movies in this franchise MI6 agent Hattie Shaw (Vanessa Kirby) is on the run after being framed for killing her entire team by Brixton (Idris Elba). With there being only two people to track her down. DSS Agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) and British soldier-turned-mercenary Deckard …

Two for two on Captain Marvel movies
I heard this movie described as Big with superpowers, but I didn’t think they be so on the nose The Wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou), a literal magical negro who searches for the perfect champion to bestow his powers upon. Except, after his last choice went mad with power, he has spent years searching for someone pure of …
