During our IMAX screening, one word repeatedly popped into my head. "Waste" So, let's talk about Waste. A WASTE of Resources The main plot motivator (apparently) has to do with natural resources in this wanna-be steampunk post-apocalyptic world set roughly 1,000 years in the future. But as concerned as the characters claim to be, there [...]
) It may not specifically say it in the title, but THIS Spiderman movie is AMAZING. In a year packed with superhero films and sub-par animated outings, it's tempting to dismiss "Into the Spider-Verse" as another Sony effort to hang onto Marvel's Spiderman license. Throw in a talking pig, two Peter Parkers, and Miles Morales(Shameik Moore) [...]
Has there ever been an R-Rated movie that you really wanted to see but either your parents or personal moral restrictions prevented you from watching? If so, you're the target audience for "Once Upon a Deadpool", a film which exists as both a marketing stunt and a financial experiment. Ryan Reynolds describes it best himself saying, "Fox has [...]

.For the majority of us, it's impossible to understand what life is like in countries ravaged by war. Even for those who don't take our American lifestyle for granted, how can we relate to what our fellow humans are going through in cities where death and destruction is the norm? The media covers many of these [...]
What should one expect from the sequel to a movie that was based on a fictional guidebook of magical creatures that itself was a spin-off/prequel to the most successful and beloved fantasy book series of all time? The writing credits on IMDB for both Fantastic Beasts movies are telling in that J.K. Rowling is listed as the [...]
Many of us went into the screening for "Overlord" referring to it as "The Nazi Zombie" movie, a description many are likely to adopt. To do so is a disservice. This is also, contrary to popular theories, not the next "Cloverfield". And although it's a Bad Robot project, J.J. Abrams did not write or direct it. Instead, a [...]
There seems to be an inverse relationship between the quality of a film and the length of its title. "The Girl in the Spider's Web: A New Dragon Tattoo Story" is no exception. The story is a follow-up to Stieg Larsson's "Millenium" trilogy, which is more commonly referred to as the "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" [...]

There have been multiple direct and indirect sequels, a remake of the first two chapters, and even a completely unrelated "Season of the Witch."
