Batman V Superman Is Better Than The Dark Knight
Having recently viewed (and enjoyed) Suicide Squad I thought I should give Batman V Superman another chance. It’s no joke that this movie has garnered a lot of hate since its debut this summer (featuring not one, but two Martha’s!) however with the release of the Ultimate Edition to somewhat positive response I thought – why not, let’s give it a go. Right off the bat I will say there is zero reason to buy into the R rated hype. We all...
A Year After Financing, Still No Neuromancer FIlm
Last year I finally read Neuromancer for the first time. It was for none other than I was going down my list of reading the top science fiction books of all time. After finishing it I can understand why this book is on that list. Shortly after reading it, it was announced that financing had been secured from Chinese investors. However the question remains: is it too late for a Neuromancer film? While it’s regarded as one of the most...
Quick Thoughts: Flash Season One Finale, Hints At Season Two
The season finale that aired last week was an example of go big or go home. Now I’m sure a lot of people saw the “big moment” coming like I did, but we’ll get to that in a minute. This series has dealt with time travel on a very minute level and I have to say, that’s what sold me on The Flash. When the show started to get very sci-fi and explore these concepts that’s when I got hooked. Now towards the end of season one when we learn...
Spoiler-Free Review of Leaked Supergirl Pilot
I’m going to begin this by stating that I went into watching Supergirl not expecting it to be any good. This has nothing to do with gender bias in the leading role, or DC vs Marvel. Solely to blame is the marketing company who released the terrible trailer a week ago. By now we’ve all read the blogs and articles jokingly comparing it to the SNL sketch of the Black Widow Movie about a girl superhero doing girly things – and honestly...
Daredevil Is The Show Agents Of Shield Wants To Be
Ben Affleck’s near career suicide from the early aughts have produced more horse-beaten jokes that we care to remember, Daredevil (and Gili) being amongst the worst offenders. However the recent powerhouses of Marvel and Netflix have teamed up to produce not only a mature, adult, television drama that, at times, has you forgetting you’re watching a superhero television show that wrongfully gets lumped in with the likes of The Flash,...
Should You See Tomorrowland This Weekend?
Imagine for a minute if Gore Verbinski’s Pirates of the Caribbean was released now in 2015. Now imagine the film itself, with the mood-setting fog on the bow of a navy vessel instead opening at Disneyland, on the actual ride where a kid riding the plume at the moment of the drop where (what used to be the skull, now replaced with the squid faced Davy Jones) says “dead men tell no tales” he was magically transported to the...
