Captain 4merica: Brave New World Review

Sam Wilson is not MY Captain America! Okay, before you start calling me a racist, let me explain. I like Sam Wilson. I like Anthony Mackie AS Sam Wilson. I like Sam Wilson AS Falcon. There’s quite a difference with that moniker. After Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) handed the shield over to Sam in Avengers:Continue reading “Captain 4merica: Brave New World Review”

Snow White 2025 Review

Full transparency: I had no desire to see this movie. The live-action remakes/retellings of these stories seem uninspired and uninteresting. Their angles for today’s audiences, are watered down. Safe. Unnecessary. I’d venture to guess the only reason to make them is to stoke interest in Disney’s theme parks. Or toy tie-ins. Am I wrong…? IContinue reading “Snow White 2025 Review”

Written In the Snow

Silver Ridge is a small town in Connecticut. The kind of place where everyone knows your name and nothing much happens. It’s December and Main Street is decorated for Christmas. Wreaths with red ribbons on every lamp post. People greeting one another with pleasantries and warm smiles. Everyone’s happy, it would seem, except for oneContinue reading “Written In the Snow”

6 Degrees of Kathryn Newton

I was talking to a friend about my recent write up for Lisa Frankenstein. I told him about how in my review, I had stated, the movie will find its audience. He then asked if I’d seen an interview with Freddie Prinze, Jr. talking about Star Wars fandom and how the audiences expect movies toContinue reading “6 Degrees of Kathryn Newton”

Rest In Peace: John Madden

I’m not into sports. You might be saying to yourselves, “But Chris, you’re talking about a sports figure”. True, believe it or not, I use to have my teams. The New York Yankees and The New York Giants. The extent of my sports involvement was watching friends play Madden for each release (40 of them?!).Continue reading “Rest In Peace: John Madden”

Marvel Team-Up: Black Widow & Shang-Chi

Who remembers the comic book, back in the day, called Marvel Team-Up? It was a series from Marvel Comics that usually had two or more characters join forces and battle a common foe. I’m taking that idea and giving a team-up of sorts. Two movies. One Review. When it comes to watching entries in the MCU,Continue reading “Marvel Team-Up: Black Widow & Shang-Chi”

TGIF: CT to NY for NYFF59

How do you get to Carnegie Hall…? Practice. How do you get to Lincoln Center…? You take the Metro North out of Milford to Grand Central. Hop the 1 to 66 St. and voilà! Okay, maybe it sounds better when Arnold Schwarzenegger or F. Murray Abraham is saying it but you get the point. In my recollection,Continue reading “TGIF: CT to NY for NYFF59”

I’m Sorry To Inform You. It’s…Malignant (The Film Review)

An ominous asylum looms over a seaside cliff. Something unseen, behind curtains, must be contained. Something…sinister needs to be dealt with. It’s time to…Cut the cancer… Malignant is a difficult movie to review. As someone who watches their fair share of movies, I try not to let the cat out of the bag. I neverContinue reading “I’m Sorry To Inform You. It’s…Malignant (The Film Review)”

That’s The Way The Loki Crumbles

Have we seen Loki? Did we finish the series? All six episodes? We’ve had some distance from the finale, so now we can enter spoiler territory. That’s enough warning I think, let’s talk Loki… As we’ve come to find out, “He Who Remains” (Johnathon Majors) is the man behind the curtain. The Timekeeper. Creator ofContinue reading “That’s The Way The Loki Crumbles”
