I will never forget how much I hyped up the Mandarin to all my friends and family as a kid when this was coming out. I told them all what a big deal and threat he was, and how he was Iron Man's archnemesis who I'd been waiting years to see him face off against on the big screen ... only to be laughed at by everyone after leaving the theater, when we learned he was just some british bozo…

I didn't hate this. In all honesty, I actually quite enjoyed myself. It's very much a mess, with some of the most blatant use of ADR I've ever seen in my life and parts of it feeling unfinished - it's kinda clear to me that Sony pushed some kind of panic button after realizing their other spin off movies had flopped, and this movie probably suffered from it. But .. I don't think it's all as bad as people are…

I have been an unapologetic defender of the Venom movies since the beginning. I have been enthralled by the stories of Eddie Brock and his "other" half since as long as I can remember, so when a lot of those comic shenanigans are brought to the big screen I'm more than a little invested and excited. I was there opening night for the first one, opening night for the second one and now I've caught this at the earliest possible…

"Don't go walking around like you own the place, you hillbilly!!"

It took me a while, but I'm finally wrapping up my watch of the entire Godzilla franchise. I took a break because I was waiting for this film to be made available on Max, and now that it is I can watch it, and finally Godzilla 2000 sometime soon. This is one of the films in the series that has always sort of been in my blindspot, having only…

I will be getting into spoilers in this review so before I get into my extended thoughts on this film, I want to start off by saying that I loved it. It's a strong entry in a franchise I absolutely adore - and my love for the franchise is definitely what makes me so forgiving to things I'll talk about later in this review. But I highly recommend it.

I can't remember a time in my life without Alien. It's…

Boys are so silly.

Every review out there for this has the most hyperbolic statements possible - it's either the best thing since sliced bread or worst since Hitler. I'm here to tell you it's neither. It's just a story about people who want to matter, who want to do & be something important.

The opening is exhilarating, immediately setting the tone for a bloody fun adventure full of multiverse hopping characters and the return of characters from a universe we…

"If scientists are optimistic, you reporters are sentimental and dogmatic."

A fan favorite for a reason, this film promised the death of Godzilla and delivered on telling a tragic tale of gargantuan proportion.

Dr. Yamane's grandchild being main players was something that I absolutely adored, as he was one of my favorite characters in the series. The return of Emiko, as well as the central conflict being Serizawa's work from 40 years ago, was fantastic. They treat the concept with…
