THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER

July 8, 2022 By 1 Comment

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER

It’s not that THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is unwatchable. Quite the contrary. The special effects are stupendously unrestrained. The story is adorable, leaning towards a good-natured spoof of superhero movies as practiced in the 2020s. The performances can’t be faulted, even if Christian Bale as the god-hating ex-acolyte out for revenge is far darker, and… Read More »

DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

With DR. STRANGE IN THE MULITVERSE OF MADNESS, we are gifted with a thimbleful of plot in a vast expanse of cinematic ocean. This being yet another piece of the equally vast Marvel Universe, the story is obliged to take its hero, Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), from Point A to Point B in order to… Read More »

MORBIUS

March 31, 2022 By Leave a Comment

MORBIUS

Let me start with a spoiler. MORBIUS is not a good film. This grim and grimy excursion into the Marvel Universe has the special effects. It has the clash of superhero and super villain. It has a bustling metropolis (New York City) where the residents, and at least one federal agent, are quick to blame… Read More »

BLACK WIDOW

July 10, 2021 By Leave a Comment

BLACK WIDOW

Braids, French and other, loom large in the visuals of BLACK WIDOW, and it is an apt metaphor. The ultra-femininity of long, flowing hair rigorously trained into orderly rows of tightly disciplined tresses echoes the rigorous training given to ultra-feminine assassin-turned-Avenger Natasha Romanoff, the eponymous super-heroine in this her first spinoff from the Marvel Universe.… Read More »

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

April 26, 2019 By Leave a Comment

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

The stakes have been raised so many times with event flicks that, when approaching one, hope is always tempered with experience about what to expect, to paraphrase Samuel Johnson. With AVENGERS: ENDGAME, though, hope wins out. The spectacle is everything it should be, and the story, of necessity a meandering thing, is nonetheless sustained by… Read More »

VENOM

VENOM

We none of us, least of all your humble correspondent, lives in a vacuum. So perhaps it’s because I’ve recently seen THE PREDATOR that the mere, yet aggressive, mediocrity of VENOM did not make for a completely awful cinematic experience. Which is not to say that this ploddingly plotted effort is good, but for sheer… Read More »

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

April 27, 2018 By Leave a Comment

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

For sheer value-for-money, you can’t top AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR.  It’s pure entertainment with an endless parade of the kind of whiz-bang special effects, not quite sloppy sentiment, and a constant barrage of the quips and banter that define grace under pressure in the Marvel Universe. Plus, pretty much everyone from the MCU finds his or… Read More »

BLACK PANTHER

February 18, 2018 By 3 Comments

BLACK PANTHER

BLACK PANTHER is the standard by which all other superhero movies this year will be measured.  Maybe this decade.  Showcasing the expected show-stopping special effects, a rich mythology from the Marvel comic on which it is based, and plenty of rousing action that is both imaginative (weaponized rhinoceroses) and genuinely suspenseful, it gets the most… Read More »

FRANK VS. GOD — Henry Ian Cusick Interview

FRANK VS. GOD — Henry Ian Cusick Interview

I may not have had the best phone connection when talking with Henry Ian Cusick on June 7, 2017, but his passion for intriguing roles and material that allows him to stretch as an actor came through clear as a bell. The occasion of our conversation was the online release of FRANK VS. GOD, a… Read More »

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

July 8, 2017 By Leave a Comment

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

Leaving aside what might otherwise be a richly nuanced discussion of why we need another Spider-man reboot so soon, it is with delight and relief that I report its success.  Tom Holland takes on the red spandex and the ironic wisecracks as Peter Parker, the brilliant high-school kid whose bite from a radioactive spider has… Read More »
