Mission: Impossible – Fallout Review: Go Ahead and Accept

Deirdre Crimmins — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 17:00:40 +0000

Like The NeverEnding Story before it, Mission: Impossible continues to dominate the field of inaccurately named movies. Unlike The NeverEnding Story, Mission: Impossible keeps its high quality consistent into the sixth entry of this summer staple. This year’s contribution is Mission: Impossible – Fallout. I am incredibly tempted to make a pun about all of...

‘Justice League’ Review: A Superhero Mashup/Mess Up

Philip Brown — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 18:00:32 +0000

Warner Bros.’ big, bloated ‘Justice League’ has been the subject of so many sneering editorials and clickbait news stories about reshoots that it’s almost a shock to see the movie even make it to theaters. Unsurprisingly, the flick suffers from a serious identity crisis. Whatever it was that Zack Snyder initially planned for this ‘Batman...

‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ Review: Well, At Least It Looks Pretty

Philip Brown — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 04:00:19 +0000

After three years of studio hype and internet hate, ‘Batman v. Superman’ is finally here. Predictably, the first wave of reviews have been overwhelmingly harsh. However, for the most part, that reaction has been a little overblown. ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ (just rolls off the tongue, don’t it?) is neither as good as...

‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ Review: A Swinging ’60s Spy Adventure

Philip Brown — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 19:00:38 +0000

Not too long ago, the Jason Bourne series sucked all the fun out of spy movies, dragging James Bond down to po-faced drama with it. Some great movies came out of that, don’t get me wrong, but this year a couple of Brits have put the fluffy fun back into espionage. Matthew Vaughn got there...

Josh Zyber — Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:00:22 +0000

At the San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, director Zack Snyder announced that his follow-up to this summer’s successful ‘Man of Steel’ will not be ‘Man of Steel 2’, but rather a Superman/Batman team-up movie. Are you excited for this, or does the news leave you apprehensive? Beyond the fact that this project is in...

One Good Reason to Hate ‘Man of Steel’

Aaron Peck — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:00:45 +0000

So, where did Superman’s conscience go? A battle between two nearly invincible superbeings is tiresome to watch. As General Zod and Superman crash into building after building, over and over, it’s a tedious exercise in CGI excess. This is where the movie the really lost me. I couldn’t help but wonder how Superman felt about...

Now Playing: ‘Man’ Down

Brian Hoss — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:00:38 +0000

We all know what the new Superman movie has going for it, and it isn’t the legacy of ‘Superman Returns’. Warner Bros. wanted something more like Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, and ‘Man of Steel’ is the result. Was it worth the effort? Opinions on a movie like ‘Man of Steel’ will inevitably involve two very...

Now Playing: ‘Man’ Up

Bryan Kluger — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 13:00:53 +0000

Did we need another Superman origin story to grace our theaters just seven years after Bryan Singer’s ‘Superman Returns’? While that particular film wasn’t so much a reboot as a sequel to the older Richard Donner movies, and it was a failure in both characters and story, maybe it was time to forget that ‘Superman...

Weekend Movies: Sucktember Is Upon Us

Luke Hickman — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 13:00:34 +0000

Although the month of September will be peppered with some promising new movie releases, this week isn’t. Only two films open wide. I saw one at Sundance. The other, despite starring several very familiar faces, is completely unknown to me. I suppose that this is a good time to get caught up on our Blu-ray...
