While Marvel continues to churn out hit after hit with the MCU, DC is still taking baby steps towards finding their identity. To their credit, the brand has had sizable gains with the success of Wonder Woman and Aquaman, laying the groundwork to grow from. With the uncertain future of Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck’s recent departure as Batman though, DC is still in the process of reinventing their brand. Matt Reeves’ The Batman is still in the early stages of production, with many pundits still guessing who will assume the role of the Caped Crusader. It may be some time before fans…

Us has been one of the most anticipated films of 2019, with film fans looking forward to Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out. Already earning himself an Oscar, Peele has proven himself as one of the most innovative and thoughtful filmmakers working in the horror genre. Thankfully, it appears that Us could be just as good, perhaps even better, than Get Out. After making its debut at SXSW Festival, critics have reviewed the film, with their scores calculating to an impressive 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 50 reviews. Here are a few blurbs from some of the reviews. Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian – It’s a satirical…

The science fiction genre may still have a beating pulse, but its often overshadowed by the likes of blockbusters and big superhero films. Most science fiction films that value ideas and thematic exploration over action tend to struggle in the Hollywood landscape today, which would explain the unceremonious release of Captive State this weekend. Despite bolstering film’s generic marketing effort pre-release, the film is a surprisingly refreshing science fiction story with a purpose. Captive State is set on Earth ten years after extra-terrestrial forces have colonized the planet’s population. The film follows Gabriel (Moonlight’s Ashton Sanders), the son of an anti-alien insurgency who…

Netflix continues to expand their cinematic horizons, recently coming close to winning Best Picture with Roma while reaching trending status with their documentary Fyre. The streaming giant looks to continue their winning streak with Triple Frontier, a star-studded heist film from Margin Call helmer J.C. Chandor. The results may not be the sum of its parts, but Triple Frontier thankfully provides for a steadily crafted diversion. Triple Frontier follows a team of five ex-special ops soldiers (Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garett Hedlund, Pedro Pascal, and leader Ben Affleck), each stuck in a dull life after their service. They attempt to take back for what they didn’t receive when they plan a…

The Alien brand is at a bit of a crossroads. While it has still thrived in the video game department with Alien: Isolation, the film franchise suffered a big loss when Alien – Covenant severely underperformed at the box office. With the Disney and Fox dealer coming closer to completion, many fans are left wondering what the future will hold for the franchise. While there are still no new developments for the franchise’s big-screen future, it appears that the Alien brand will continue to grow onscreen. In celebration of Alien’s 40th Anniversary, Fox is releasing six new short films directed by six respective independent creators. Check out the trailer alongside…

One of the 1990’s most notable cult classics was The Craft. Featuring four charming young actresses who enchanted audiences with their descent into the world of magic, many have promoted the film for its entertaining qualities and empowering lead characters. The film has garnered a passionate cult audience since its debut over twenty years ago, with many fans today keeping the film’s memory alive. At the Monster Mania Convention recently, The Craft’s four leading ladies, Rachel True, Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, and Neve Campbell, all reunited in order to celebrate the film’s legacy. Check out their photos together and the film’s official synopsis in case you…

Disney has had quite a few notable live-action remakes over the past few years, but none of them have been as controversial as Aladdin. Early marketing so far, including a teaser debuted during the Grammy’s, has been poorly received, with audiences making a meme out of Will Smith’s Genie and his wonky CGI. It has left many audiences to think that Aladdin could be a surprise failure for Disney. Despite some negative reactions, Disney is still gearing for a May release for their latest live-action remake. The studio is giving audiences a more extensive look into Aladdin with a new trailer. Check it out along with…

Danny Trejo is one of the most beloved genre actors around. No matter what movie he’s in, Trejo delivers his signature personality that always brings a smile to audiences faces. His work, particularly in Robert Rodriguez films like Machete, has always been memorable and distinct. Perhaps nothing could be more distinct than his latest film Bullets of Justice. Poised to be yet another late-night grindhouse throwback for Trejo, Bullets of Justice finds Trejo going toe-to-toe with his vilest foes yet, a group of human-pig hybrids. Check out the official trailer along with the plot synopsis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-l6YbIORZk During the Third World War, the American government initiates…

Like many indie filmmakers, Gasper Noe is a director who leaves a noticeable impression with audiences. His often audacious stylish endeavors like Enter the Void and Love have gained Noe a fair share of fans and haters alike. Fans would call Noe a visceral genius, while critics would claim his movies to be pointless bores. His latest effort Climax makes another stylish impression, but it can’t quite stick the landing. Climax follows a group of French dancers, who gather to rehearse and celebrate one night. When it’s soon discovered that someone has spiked the punch, the group begin to experience hallucinations as they find themselves trapped in…
