Late to the Party: ‘The Last Jedi’

Josh Zyber — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 12:00:26 +0000

Due to my longstanding ‘Star Wars’ ennui and all the vehemently negative word-of-mouth surrounding the movie, I feel like I must be one of the last people on Earth to see ‘The Last Jedi’. When a window of opportunity opened the other day, all that hectoring from one of our readers must have gotten to...

Luke Hickman — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 19:00:08 +0000

When I walked out of last Monday’s press screening for ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ and heard just about every other critic gush over the film’s supposed greatness, I thought, “Well, here we go again. I’m going to take a lot of heat for not liking this.” However, now that general audiences have seen it...

Spoiler Alert! Why ‘Captain America: Civil War’ Is Nothing to Marvel At

Luke Hickman — Mon, 09 May 2016 19:00:07 +0000

‘Captain America: Civil War’ is lot of fun. I won’t argue that. It has everything we’ve come to expect from a massive-budget summer blockbuster. However, working against it are a lazy screenplay effort that has become the Marvel norm, flimsy characters, recycled dynamics and a lack of tension. I’m not here to argue the entertainment...

40 Questions About ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ – Spoilers Within

Luke Hickman — Mon, 04 May 2015 19:00:10 +0000

Two years ago, I found myself in the sights of James Bond fans everywhere. While ‘Skyfall’ was becoming the highest-grossing entry in the long-running 007 franchise, I scratched my head wondering how something so obviously flawed could become beloved in the eyes of its fans. Now, with comic book fanboys raving about the greatness of...

Mid-Week Poll: Do Spoilers Ruin Movies for You?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 23 May 2012 13:00:20 +0000

A very surprising article in Wired recently suggested that, when it comes to literature and perhaps movies, most people are not bothered by having plot details spoiled in advance. In fact, knowing the ending or a big secret can make the story more enjoyable. Do our readers agree with this? [Spoiler Alert: We’ll have a...

File this under “Things That Really Annoy Me” – kind of like how ABC incessantly brands every show with its network name. I’ve been watching ‘Rubicon‘ on AMC. (Forgive me for falling behind on recaps; I’ve got too much going on these days.) Anyway, at many of the commercial breaks during the show, the network...

OMG Spoilarz! – Why You Shouldn’t Care About Spoilers

Dick Ward — Wed, 19 May 2010 15:00:05 +0000

As one of those folks who writes about movies on a regular basis, I’m faced with a challenge. I have to explain why a movie is good without actually revealing the major plot points or talking about the ending. Alternatively, I can throw in a sentence explaining that there will be “spoilers” in the article. ...
