Dopey genre films are a dime a dozen, but very few of the film are able to capture the batshit entertainment that can come with these films. Films like The Meg boast the premise and cast to make the film work, but the execution often ends up being too safe or contrived to make an impact.  If there’s anyone who can nail that tough tonal balance, its director Alexandre Aja, who has crafted several entertaining projects like Pirhana and The Hills Have Eyes. His latest film Crawl, however, looks to be his craziest project yet. The only thing more terrifying than a hurricane destroying your house…

With Avengers: Endgame already on pace to break every box office record under the sun, its safe to say many fans have taken the opportunity to give the 3-hour film another viewing (myself included). With these second viewings, it’s funny to catch hidden secrets like a cameo from Howard the Duck throughout the viewing, but some scenes are rooted in an even deeper sense of history. This is the case with the “sandwich scene”, a small moment in the film’s first act in which Black Widow and Captain America share a minute to reflect upon the aftermath of Infinity War. According to /Film,…

Marvel has certainly dominated the comic book film space, but their presence on TV hasn’t been as consistent. Early returns on Netflix series like Daredevil and Jessica Jones were quite strong, yet some of their shows like Iron Fist and even the much-hyped The Defenders struggled by comparison. With Marvel moving away from Netflix and towards their new streaming platforms, the comic brand is looking to extend its effectiveness on the small screen. What a way to start by announcing 2 new series, including Ghost Rider. Along with the several projects Marvel has in development with Disney+, they announced today that they will also be working on…

It’s been long documented just how much video adaptations have struggled on the big screen, with last year’s Tomb Raider and Rampage being rare exceptions to the rule. With that long-storied struggle, many have been pessimistic about the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film, fears only made worse by abysmal early marketing posters and a bizarre design for the central blue hero. All of these doubts and worries have been confirmed today with the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog trailer. Check out the new trailer along with the film’s official synopsis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvvZaBf9QQI SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster videogame…

When it comes to action stars, few have as much clout and impact as Keanu Reeves. Going from one iconic series in The Matrix to another in John Wick, Reeves has proven himself as an incredibly charismatic star, one who engages audiences with his poise and cool demeanor. Considering just how massive the Fast and Furious franchise has gotten with other action stars, its only a matter of time that Reeves is finally set to join the blockbuster franchise. A story by TheHashTagShow revealed that the Reeves will join the franchise as a villain, set to appear in the upcoming Hobbs and Shaw. Fear not Idris Elba…

It’s safe to say that Avengers: Endgame is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, event films of all time. Not only has the film crushed dozens of box office records already, including eclipsing the domestic opening weekend record by 100 million dollars, but it concludes an eleven-year film arc that fans have experienced from start to finish. With so much going on in Endgame, it’s easy to see how some aspects of the film can go unnoticed during a first viewing. (Obvious spoilers ahead) One of those many aspects is a cameo from everyone’s favorite space hero, Howard the Duck himself. Check…

Child’s Play is an iconic horror film, turning a seemingly innocent Buddi Doll into a slasher staple. That film and it’s series’ great concept is what makes the latest remake so interesting, as filmmakers are being tasked to reinvent the material while staying true to the originals. While we’re still two months away from the film’s release, the film’s marketing effort is in full-throttle, with Entertainment Weekly releasing a new image revealing Chucky unboxed and on the loose. Check out the new photos below: Seth Grahame-Smith’s take on reinventing the series from the Los Angeles Times. “It seems like we’re…

Working as a modern take on Bond with a splash of vulgarity, Kingsman: The Secret Service was a sizable success, so much that so that it got its own sequel The Golden Circle. Reception for that film, however, was noticeably weaker, with fans finding its sprawling length and overstuffed story a far cry from the original. With the sequel’s so-so reception and the recent purchase of Fox from Disney, many wondered what the future of the Kingsman franchise would be if there was even one planned. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has announced that will continue the series with The Great Game, a prequel to…

After making a strong impression as Spider-Man, Tom Holland’s name has ascended into the ranks of the under-3o acting elite. With both Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War, Holland displayed a naturalistic charm and a surprising amount of dramatic chops, making the character feel fresh as ever despite it being his third iteration. With his success, Holland quickly booked himself a high-profile project Chaos Walking, which co-stars Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley and Mads Mikkelson. Well, it appears that chaos is going on behind the scenes of Chaos Walking.  Originally scheduled for a March 2019 release before being pulled off the calendar, the film is now in the process of…

Horror remakes have been coming in droves of late, with one of the most intriguing being Child’s Play. Featuring the talents of Aubrey Plaza, Brian Tyree Henry, and Mark Hamill as Chucky himself, this star-studded horror remake is bringing Chucky back to life after a decade-plus absence on the big screen. And if the film’s first trailer is any indication, the film really delivers. And now, the producer has echoed the same statement. Producer Seth Grahame-Smith recently spoke to CinemaBlend about the progress for the upcoming film, glowing about its current state: “We sort of lean into more of the AI/Kaslan…
