Superhero movies have been well-known to be produced with the idea that children and their parents are the majority audience. Recent Marvel and DC movies have been leaning into the idea that some of their movies can cover more adult-themed subjects that barely go into the realm of PG-13. And then there are some that straight jump into rated “R” like Watchmen, Blade, Joker, and James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. However, Steven Soderbergh is wondering why there isn’t any sex scene in these superhero movies. Soderbergh has been a huge player in the Hollywood industry since the late 1980s indie…

It’s the beginning of 2022 and you know that means The Oscars nominations are here! That’s right. Another year where Hollywood gives themselves a hard pat on the back and demands that you recognize them recognizing films that you might’ve never heard of. There were a lot of great films released in 2021 that held astounding performances from the cast and people behind the scenes. Unfortunately for you Spider-Man fans, the web-slinger’s latest movie was only nominated for best visual effects. Honestly, there were a lot of great choices in the Best Picture category—except for Don’t Look Up—and in terms…

A lot of eyes have been on Matt Reeves’s entry into the Batman franchise since it was announced a long while ago. We got the news that the movie’s runtime will go the distance and now composer Michael Giacchino has dropped his theme for the movie for us to listen to. A moody theme or tone goes hand in hand when it comes to The Dark Knight and Giacchino decided to tap into that for his take on the music for The Batman. We got a little taste of the movie’s score when The Batman trailer dropped last year but…

Disney and Lucasfilm announced some time ago that fans of the character, Ahsoka Tano, will be getting her own Disney Plus series starring Rosario Dawson as the lead. It looks like we have more news on the casting, and it appears that Mary Elizabeth Winstead has joined the show. Though we don’t know what her role will be, this is still exciting news, nonetheless.

Some of Winstead’s credits include projects such as Birds of…

The gods have apparently heard film lovers’ prayers because we’re getting a sequel to Michael Mann’s Heat… just not the way you might not think. 1995’s crime classic Heat starred a collection of big Hollywood players including Al Pacino as a Los Angeles detective hunting professional bank robber Robert De Niro and his crew. The film has been regarded as one of Michael Mann’s best movies and it was announced via Mann’s very own Twitter that a sequel, titled Heat 2, will be released this year. The thing is, is that Heat 2 will come in the form of a…

It’s been close to twenty years since mainstream audience ended their journey into The Matrix. The trilogy revolutionized the filmmaking world and influenced countless filmmakers as well. I got swept up in Matrix fever back in 1999 and was genuinely excited to see what the Wachowskis had in store with The Matrix Resurrections. One side of me wanted to blindly nerd out at the prospect of what more can be told from this franchise. However, I am no longer the individual I once was over 20 years ago. That’s when I realized that The Matrix Resurrections’ chances of being another…

Movie audiences tend to know what they’re getting when it comes to the Kingsman franchise. Kingsman: The Secret Service and its sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, are laced with tongue-in-cheek satire with stylish action set piece that has allowed it to be the go-to for comedic contemporary British spy films. With Matthew Vaughn’s The King’s Man, the director decided to take a step back through time to explore the birth of the secret organization. Vaughn was recently joined by cast members Ralph Fiennes, Djimon Hounsou, Rhys Ifans, and others to discuss what went into making this period piece entry. At…

The Kingsman franchise – built off the back of Mark Millar’s Kingsman: The Secret Service – has lasted all these years because it’s something different from the typical British Spy action genre. The first entry in the franchise was something new for the American audience because of tongue-in-cheek satire and cool-looking action pieces. Director Matthew Vaughn’s previous Kingsman entries gave moviegoers a fun time at the cineplex. The King’s Man , however, pumps the brakes on that idea for a more serious tone. It’s an interesting choice for the director’s third trip into this world but it seems like the…
