Not too many of them feel very festive, strangely. New Releases (Blu-ray) Venom – If you wanted a new Spider-Man movie, go see the animated Into the Spider-Verse. The...

Michael Moore is back and this time he’s got a documentary about a certain gentleman by the name of Donald J. Trump.

After several failed attempts, the actor finally headlined a successful (very successful) superhero movie this year. It hits Blu-ray and UHD this week. Beyond that… well, isn’t one big title enough to tide you over for a while? New Releases ‘Deadpool‘ – It’s a neat trick Ryan Reynolds pulled...

At a quick glance, it’s easy to assume that this will be Moore’s all-out assault on American imperialism, calling out the U.S. military’s approach to international relations. But that’s just a fake-out. The truth is that this is easily one of Moore’s fluffiest...

You’ve seen Ryan Reynolds try to quip his way through three bad comic book movies by now (‘Blade Trinity‘, ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine‘, ‘Green Lantern‘), only to miserably fail each time. With the help of Marvel geeks and a lot...

Unfortunately, some of the rust built up from that time off is very much apparent. This certainly isn’t Moore’s tightest or finest effort. Yet, in his typical rambling, amicable way, the...
