Except two’s not as bad as one. Two’s better than one. (Unmarked Spoiler) Venom: Let There Be Carnage sees Tom Hardy reprise his roles as Eddie Brock and his alien symbiote Venom. What’s impressive is that Hardy manages to sound even more over the top as Venom than he did in the last movie. Woody Harrelson …

The Dirty not Dozen
Let’s all pretend the first movie never happened. (Unmarked Spoilers) Task Force X or the Suicide Squad is a group of supervillains sent into nigh unsurvivable scenarios in exchange for time off their prison sentences. The Squad’s mission this time around is to infiltrate the nation of Corto Maltese and destroy Project Starfish, aka Starro …
The MCU’s back in theatres, baby
At long last the wait is finally over. Between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is on the run and by herself. Not for long, though, as a run-in with the supervillain Taskmaster (?) and a mysterious MacGuffin has her reuniting with familiar faces from her past. Yelena …
The trilogy that made Batman movies cool again
Even with that voice, you know the one. (Unmarked Spoilers) Batman Begins should have been entitled The Dark Knight Begins, but hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. After he loses his chance to get his revenge on Joe Chill (Richard Brake), the murder of his parents (Linus Roache, Sara Stewart), Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) sets …

Finally
I can still remember when a Snyder cut seemed like a pipe dream. (Unmarked Spoilers for theatrical version) The plot of Zack Snyder’s Justice League is more or less the same as the theatrical cut. (Emphasize on the more, because the runtime of this movie is four hours long.) Following the death of Superman/Clark Kent (Henry Cavill), …
How does it feel…to finally watch watch this movie?
If I had a voice like New Order, I’d turn that into an actual song. (Unmarked Spoilers) While the previous films made it seem as though Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) retired from superheroics following the death of her lover, Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), Wonder Woman 1984 reveals quite the opposite. It turns out she continued her …

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 …
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 …

King of Comedy 2: Why so serious?
His dance moves are certainly better than Tobey Maguire‘s Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is a man whose whole life sucks. He can’t find a source of steady employment, mental illness has left him struggling with recognizing social cues, and the city he’s living in is going to hell in a hand basket. A serious of …
The burn is bright
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a–run for your life. Get ready to be meet Brandon Breyer (Jackson A. Dunn), who has one of those sweet, alliterate names that rolls right off the tongue. Like Clark Kent or Lex Luthor or Michael Meyers. He’s brilliant too because despite not paying attention in class, he’s …
