Mortiz Mohr’s Boy Kills World is approaching its release date fast, and the movie can’t be here soon enough. The ultra-violent, action-filled film is guaranteed to have something for everyone who’s a fan of the one-man army genre. Mohr gathered an impressive cast of actors to tell the story of revenge with a hilarious comedy twist behind it. Starring Bill Skarsgård as Boy, the character has to go through a sea of henchmen to reach his main target, the Van Der Koy family. Brett Gelman, Michelle Dockery, Sharlto Copley, and Famke Janssen, the group’s mother, play the Van Der Koys.…

Famke Janssen has had a long and steady acting career for years and shown no signs of slowing down. The actress has been in hit movies such as GoldenEye and Marvel’s X-Men franchise – where she played Jean Grey, a role that many have associated her with over the years – leading fans to wonder if she’ll appear in Deadpool & Wolverine AKA Deadpool 3. Her part in the X-Men films helped shape how the general audience views the well-known comic book as the actress was able to put her signature on the role. Fan speculation for the movie has…

It’s really easy to compare Monkey Man to certain action films released in the past decade. Those films display heart-stopping brutal fights and action set-pieces but still manage to make something of their own. Dev Patel’s directorial debut seeks to uplift the “one-man army” genre while introducing audiences unfamiliar with Indian culture. We get a movie that’s an art-house John Wick/Raid combo that communicates human rights while showcasing Patel’s talent as a director and an eye for making action genuinely cinematic. Monkey Man, directed by and starring Patel, is a story of one man seeking revenge for the death of…

Boy Kills World is the feature debut of German director Mortiz Mohr, and the film looks promising. The ultra-violent tale of a man hellbent on revenge is seen as an action/comedy with small portions of comic and videogame-like DNA. Not based on any known IP, the movie is sure to have a level of originality that many major studio productions lack. The cast features the likes of  Bill Skarsgård, Famke Janssen, Jessica Rothe, Andrew Koji, and many others who guarantee the audience a wild ride worth getting on. However, Mohr’s vision of this dystopian future world would not come to…

Sam Raimi has been linked to Marvel and the MCU since the early 2000s, with films like the Spider-Man trilogy and, most recently, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. Fans of Raimi have been waiting and hoping that the director might return to working with Marvel Studios on one of the long-developing projects. Some rumors have even suggested that Raimi is the top choice to direct Avengers: Secret Wars. Sam Raimi was attending this year’s WonderCon, amidst the buzz surrounding his latest project, Boy Kills World, we couldn’t resist delving into the longstanding rumors – and Raimi finally addressed…

Nunsploitation films are a subgenre within a subgenre. Films like these are for niche groups of audiences that enjoy, get a kick, or view it with a philosophical mindset. Classics and hidden gems like 1971’s The Devils, 1981’s Ms. 45, and 1994’s Dark Waters take the “holier than thou” concept and tend to flip it on its head. What comes out is a showcase of nunhood that sometimes comes in horror, comedic, and sexualized detail, generally through a decent artistic lens. Michael Mohan’s Immaculate tries to fit itself in high regard in the Nunsploitation genre and becomes an entertaining movie…

If you are remotely a millennial with a need for nostalgia, then you’ll know the importance of Saturday morning cartoons. Getting up in the morning, grabbing your favorite bowl of cereal, and tunning in for cartoons was a blissful time in most of our childhood. Shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were part of our healthy diet of escapism before we knew how important that was. Yet, another one that sticks out in most minds is perhaps the “cream of the crop” animated Saturday morning Marvel cartoon, X-Men: The Animated Series.…

Prime Video’s Invincible is one of those shows that knows how to tell an engaging and entertaining story. Shows like these must go further with storytelling, animation, and nuance to justify their existence in today’s comic book adaptation media era. Based on Robert Kirman, Cory Walker, and Rythe Ottley’s comic book series, its presence was made known by entertainingly introducing the ultra-violent world to audiences. Season two, part one, had to expand by showcasing that this show is more than a stereotypical superhero program. To do that, Invincible had to focus more on its characters, intriguing plot points, and intelligent…

It’s another year, so the Oscars are here for Hollywood to pat themselves on the back. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences loves to celebrate those who have continued to push forward cinema, and we’re always here for it.

Many of the nominees given this year have already won big in some form or fashion, but an Oscar is the one that puts a final…

The mixture of romance, comedy, and action in film can work from time to time. Films like Romancing the Stone, Gross Pointe Blank, True Romance, and Smokey and the Bandit are just some of the projects that audiences have come to watch for a long time. 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, continued this genre blend successfully but became a one-and-done project that could’ve gone further. However, filmmaker/actor Donald Glover and producer/writer Francesca Sloane took Mr. & Mrs. Smith and decided to give it an updated feel and expand on the concept. What came to…
