New “Star Wars: Rogue One” trailer drops
As if you hadn’t already seen it a ba-jillion times, here it is again, the latest trailer for “Star Wars: Rogue One.” I’m sure the man-babies will insist that Lucasfilm and Disney are destroying their childhood by having a woman be the leader of a major rebellion. Meanwhile, I cry because in some other timeline, […]

Jason Bourne returns in “The Bourne Redundancy”
Now let me say first that I’m a major fan of Matt Damon and his “Jason Bourne” movies. But the above title is a direct quote from Damon himself. While doing publicity for “The Bourne Ultimatum,” an interviewer asked if he’d do another “Bourne” movie. He said, “You’d have to call it ‘The Bourne Redundancy’ at […]

Wonder Woman Comic-Con trailer
In case you missed it or just want to see it over and over,here’s the “Wonder Woman” trailer from this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman teaser poster
I’ll admit it. I wasn’t impressed with the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. All I’d seen her in was the “Fast and Furious” movies, and she wasn’t more than eye candy. One could argue that’s all women do in those movies, but that’s a hollow argument. Look at the meaty role Michelle Rodriguez […]

Celebrate the 4th with the “Captain America: Winter Soldier” comic
In honor of the celebration of America’s independence from the United Kingdom, I’m reviewing a tale about America’s favorite Marvel comic book patriot, Captain America.

Prep for “The Purge: Election Year” with a look at “Anarchy”
With “The Purge: Election Year” out this weekend, I felt it appropriate to take a look back at my review for the first “Purge” sequel, “The Purge: Anarchy.” It feels particularly appropriate in an age of Donald Drumpf, the rise of income inequality and Brexit. Though I hear Jon Bernthal did well as the Punisher […]
