Loki: Season 2 Does Not Skip A Beat In Marvel Series

Loki does not miss a beat as the fan favorite character returns for a second season with Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan joining the cast. I’ll have a lot more to say about the second season below the photo. If you choose to read no further until the season premieres in the evening on October 5, please make sure to watch the credits. The first episode features a mid-credit scene. From what I can tell,…

Haunted Mansion Is Mostly Forgettable

Haunted Mansion is the newest film to adapt a Disney ride for the big screen but this comedy is too long and fails to deliver the laughs. After having so much fun watching Jungle Cruise in 2001, it pains me to see that the fun is missing in their newest attempt to bring a theme park attraction to the big screen. There’s no reason that this film needed to be over two hours long. Rather…

Secret Headquarters Skips Theatrical for Paramount+

Secret Headquarters, the new superhero film starring Owen Wilson, skips its theatrical release for a Paramount+ debut. Please make sure to watch until the very end of the credits. Speaking of credits, this is another film where all of the musicians get listed in the credits. I can partly understand why the studio switched to a streaming release. The film is solid enough to be a winner at home. However, it’s not a proven IP…

Marry Me Has A Ludicrous Rom-Com Premise

Marry Me depends 100% on buying into the completely ludicrous idea that a musical superstar will impulsively accept a proposal from a math teacher. When you’ve seen one rom-com, you’ve seen them all. That’s just the way it goes with this genre. The trick of the trade is to try and freshen it up somehow. It doesn’t matter who the stars are unless you have a script that catches you’re eye. We’re supposed to believe…

The French Dispatch Is Short of Masterpiece Status

The French Dispatch, Wes Anderson’s love letter to journalism especially The New Yorker, is a mostly good film that’s well worth the wait. This film is a series of vignettes focusing on a travelogue, art, student protests, and a police kidnapping. The four stories come from the final issue of The French Dispatch, based in the fictional French city of Ennui-sur-Blasé. Outside of the city, nothing ties them together. Together, the vignettes do feature an…

Loki Is Different In Tone But Captures Marvel Spirit

Loki picks up right where Avengers: Endgame left off and manages to capture the Marvel spirit in Marvel’s third live-action series on Disney+. This series is so much different in tone from both WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. It’s the thing I love abut the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The studio releases films and series that are completely different in tone but at the end of the day, they’re in the same universe.…

Armageddon at 20 Years

While Armageddon runs a bloated 150 minutes, the large majority of the film could really be defined as a comedy. This film no doubt offered a glimpse into the future of what a Michael Bay movie would be–full of disaster with a side of visual effects.  Nobody asked for either but okay.  There’s nothing else that you really need to say. When an asteroid “the size of Texas” is discovered to be heading towards an…
