Justice League [Spoilers]

Well, Justice League is finally here. It’s been a long time coming. There’s been a whole hell of a lot going on with the DCEU and Warner Bros. for the last couple of years. A lot of it, maybe most of it, bad. The only truly shining spot is Wonder Woman. Everything else, all of the other movies in the DCEU have either been flatout bad or divisive.

Along with Guardians of the Galaxy 2, I don’t…

Thor: Ragnarok [Spoilers]

So…we can all agree that Marvel Studios has been killing the game when it comes to superhero movies. They are the Pixar of comic book films. And it’s pretty common knowledge at this point that their Thor films are the weakest…right? At least in my estimation they are.

The first Thormovie was fine. I remember seeing it a couple of times in the theater. It was fun. The film spent half it’s time on…

The Defenders

The Defenders. This has definitely been a long time coming. I’m not really even sure how to start this post off. I mean, this is what we have been waiting for since April of 2015 with the first season of Daredevil. We’ve seen all four characters appear and each has gotten their own series. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. The latter of which was the weakest. And that kind of…

Spider-Man: Homecoming

This is the Spider-Man movie many of us have been waiting for. It seems like it so long ago, back when the Sony/Marvel deal was first announced. That was a joyous time. Then we saw Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Civil Warand that completely cemented our faith. Well, at least it did for me. This is my favorite superhero, so this was kind of a big deal for me. As I’m sure it was for…

Baby Driver

Baby Driver is the newest film from one of my favorite filmmakers, Edgar Wright. I’ve seen all of his films and even his television series Spaced, which I love. I was looking forward to seeing him direct Ant-Man, but that fell through and never happened. It would have been cool to see what he would have done with a superhero film. But, Edgar is just one of those filmmakers whose going to make his

Wonder Woman Saves The DCEU

Wonder Woman Saves The DCEU

It finally happened, thank god. The DCEU finally has a hit on their hands with Wonder Woman. Critics are giving it a lot of praise and it looks like it’s pretty unanimous. Which is fantastic. This is finally what DC/Warner Bros. has been looking for, it’s what they’ve been trying to do since Man of Steel in 2013. Because this cinematic universe has definitely been on a downward spiral since then.

Imperial Dreams

John Boyega sure has come a long way, boy. I started watching Imperial Dreams on Netflix because I was a bit intrigued by the synopsis. A 21-year-old reformed gangster’s, Bambi Jones, devotion to his family and his future is put to the test when he is released from prison and returns to his old neighborhood in Watts, Los Angeles.

He wants to be a writer. He’s a young Black man coming out of…

The First 'Defenders' Trailer

The First ‘Defenders’ Trailer

It’s certainly been a long time coming. Basically, since April of 2015, we’ve been waiting for this. Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Daredevil have all debuted on Netflix with at least one season. Now it’s time for The Defenders. And the first full-length trailer is finally here. And it’s pretty damn cool.

I love that it starts with the women. Jessica and Misty, who is still rocking her…

My Life (4/2/2017)

So this is my life right now. I’m really just waiting for this gig to start over at Digital Trends. Then I can start making some real money at this. Meanwhile, I have been incredibly bored. I don’t really know what to write about anymore. I haven’t really been inspired by anything lately. I’m too broke to go to the movies as often as I would like. The anxiety is really keeping me up at night, so…

Iron Fist Season 1

Iron Fist Season 1

Well this has been a long time coming. Iron Fist finally made its way to Netflix, and I’ve watched the entire thing.

So with the very first episode of Iron Fist, we’re able to see a little bit of the martial arts. Danny Rand returns to NYC after being away for so long and nobody wants to believe he’s actually who he says he is. Finn Jones did feel like a pretty decent Danny to me. I wasn’t blown…

Iron Fist Is In Trouble

Iron Fist Is In Trouble

Finn Jones has been making a real ass of himself over this business with Iron Fistand it’s really just to juicy to ignore. Though that’s not the right way to put it. It’s just fascinating to watch this actor constantly say the wrong thing, along with all of these early negative reviews of the show. It’s upsetting because I wanted the show to be a success, of course. Much like all of the other…

They Gave Us 'Moonlight'

They Gave Us ‘Moonlight’

Moonlight just won the Oscar for Best Picture, and Black people finally have a win this year.

This has been a pretty crazy year, including the last few months of 2016. First we lost the election. Which was horrible and heartbreaking. Something we’re going to be feeling the effects of for years to come, which makes it even worse. So then there was the Super Bowl, where you had white supremacists…

My Life (2/14/2017)

I haven’t been on here writing much. My apologies. I’ve just been busy trying to keep up with this capitalist system we live in. Been trying to make sure I don’t end up starving or homeless or both. Apparently you’re not allowed to be happy and have a guaranteed roof over your head. It’s one or the other. Go and work a 9 to 5 job and get minimum wage (where you’re still suffering) and it’s a job…

Batman Begins: The Greatness

Batman Begins: The Greatness

Christopher Nolan and David Goyer swooped in and saved the Batman franchise in 2005. Batman Begins begun a new era of superhero films, yes even before The Dark Knight. It set the stage, it laid the groundwork. It was a necessary step to take to try and resurrect a dying or nearly dead franchise, after Arnold Schwarzenegger and the ice capades in Batman & Robin. Batman needed a remake and this was…

Warner Bros' DCEU Is In Such Big Trouble

Warner Bros’ DCEU Is In Such Big Trouble

Yeah, man, their DCEU is fucked.

I don’t even know where to start, honestly. I’m sitting here on Twitter, minding my own business, pissed off at Trump, when I see this horrible news. Ben Affleck will no longer be directing the solo Batman flick. He’s out as director, but will remain on as a producer and star. Holy shit, man. You had one job, WB. Just leave Ben Affleck alone and let him make the…

The Flash | S.3 Ep.10 – Borrowing Problems from the Future

Last time we heard from The Flash, things were looking a bit grim. They were able to get rid of Savitar (seemingly), but old Barry got a glimpse of the future and saw that Iris dies by that monster’s hand. Barry (Grant Gustin) and Team Flash try to figure out a way to change the future to save Iris (Candice Patton) from her inevitable death. The only way for them to do that, not surprisingly, is…

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. | S4.E10 'The Patriot'

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. | S4.E10 ‘The Patriot’

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. just continues to surprise me. Separated from their team, Coulson and Mack discover a shocking secret about Mace, leaving all of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a precarious position. There were quite a few surprises in here that I really, really enjoyed. One, at the very beginning of the episode, being the reference to the Judas bullet from Luke Cage. That was a very nice touch and I am…
