Movie Discussion: Aladdin and Brightburn (2019)
May 25, 2019 by JD DeLuzio Movies
We have a pair of genre releases this week that we won’t be reviewing soon. If you want to discuss Disney’s live-action reinvention of its 1990s adaptation of the story from Arabian Nights, or the horror-movie twist on Shuster and Siegel’s reinterpretation of the hero mythos, here is a place to do it.
Weekend Review: Daphne & Velma
May 18, 2019 by JD DeLuzio Movies
Our recent Weekend Movie Reviews have looked back to 2019 Hugo Nominees that didn’t receive notice here when they hit the theatres. This week, we look back to a 2018 movie that received little notice anywhere, and certainly won’t be winning any awards. However, it fills up this space until Brightburn and Godzilla, King of the Monsters get released later this month.
Did anyone realize they made another live-action Scooby-doo film last year? This one reimagines Velma and Daphne’s first mystery together, before they hooked up with a couple of guys and a talking Great Dane.

Trailer Park Tuesday: Oh My God, What Have They Done? Edition

A quick round up of newer trailers online, including the ill-advised and frankly frightening Sonic the Hedgehog.
“Avengers: Endgame” Review (sort of)
April 26, 2019 by W. Blaine Dowler Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies
You know that footage you saw in the Avengers: Endgame trailers? It’s all from the first 15 minutes of a 184 minute film that feels like an 18.4 minute film. You know how some movies have principal cast members names flash on screen before the proper credits scroll by? I counted 65 of those. You know how our normal review format has a premise, high point, low point, and then at least seven more paragraphs discussing the various aspects in detail? I cannot think of any way to discuss any moment of the film not present in the trailers without spoiling something major. Avengers: Infinity War was just the warm up for this one, and as far as I can tell, every single person involved knocked it out of the park. My expectations for quality were exceeded. My expectations for story points were not only completely off the mark, they were not nearly as good as what we actually got. Suffice it to say that I’m giving the movie a perfect 42/42, and encourage everyone with even the slightest interest to see this before any aspect of the film gets spoiled.
Weekend Review: Annihilation (2018)
April 20, 2019 by JD DeLuzio Movies
Last weekend, we reviewed Sorry to Bother You, a Hugo-nominated indie film that we missed the first time around. This Weekend Review looks at another genre-warping Hugo-nominee that many people ignored on first run, Annihilation.

Midsummer Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1935, 1999)
June 21, 2019 by JD DeLuzio Movies
Summer is icumen in the Northern Hemisphere and a certain midsommar horror will see release soon, and so we’re going to review Shakespeare’s popular play of fantasy. So many film adaptations exist that we might make this an annual tradition. For now, we’ll start with the two most star-studded cinematic interpretations, Warner Brothers’ 1935 adaptation with luminaries like James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, and Olivia de Havilland, and the 1999 version starring Kevin Kline, Michelle Pfeiffer, Calista Flockhart, and Christian Bale, among others.
Greek mythology, faeries, magic, lovers young and old, and a well-meaning troupe of dubious actors await you.
