Finally, a Fantastic Four movie that’s actually fantastic. Other than the unreleased film from the 90s, I guess every decade in the 5 digits, we’re going to get a new “Fantastic Four” […]
The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Smurfs
This reboot will not blue you away. There have been three movie realities of the Smurfs where these three apples high blue creatures have sounded more like movie stars than Smurfs. In […]
The Old Guard 2
A Netflix sequel that has less life than the original. Let’s recap on “The Old Guard.” Charlize Theron played an immortal soldier named Andromache of Scythia, or Andy for short, who has […]

Thunderbolts
These MCU anti-heroes kick some serious ass. There’s a scene later in “Thunderbolts” when Valentina De Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) tells Yelena (Florence Pugh) she looks like “Sh*t.” If I were her, I […]
