'Wonder Woman' doesn't just work because it is a well-made female superhero movie. It works because it is a well made superhero movie.

'Alien: Covenant' is the Alien franchise on auto-pilot, with absolutely nothing surprising and the exact same plot as every single other movie.

The idea of entitling the second 'Guardians of the Galaxy' film as 'Vol. 2' works on the surface, yet anyone old enough to remember making mixtapes knows that although "Volume 2" can have some great material, there will always be songs that weren't good enough for the first mix.

'Logan' is the coda the X-franchise never had. It's the loner finally being alone, the last survivor copping with his guilt. It's time catching up to the ageless and death coming for the immortal.

Denise and Michael Okuda sat down with our writer John K. Kirk to talk about 'The Roddenberry Vault' and all the treasures that are stored within it.

There is no such thing as a "dark side" when one works in the shadows.

'Moana' is an absolutely beautiful movie and something that, give or take a few troublesome elements, should give a new generation and population of children a character to identify with.

'Doctor Strange' wants to push the boundaries of what Marvel has done before, but remains too mainstream to live up to its name.

I’m a fan. I go to conventions; my heart literally skips beats at the thought of sharing a few moments of time with my fandom idols and I get euphoric when I’m in their presence. Yeah, I spend money to get into these events and I part with hard-earned cash …

As with the two DCEU films before it, 'Suicide Squad' doesn't understand that in order to create tension in its big, epic battles, the audience needs to care about its characters.

'Seoul Searching' is a wonderful, funny & moving homage to the John Hughes teen comedies of the 80s and a revealing look at the diversity of the Korean diaspora.

Though based upon a game notable for its refinement, depth of lore, and quirky mix of humor and darkness, 'Warcraft' suffers from a lack of character.

There is a joke in 'X-Men: Apocalypse' that the third film is always the worst. While it never reaches the depths of 'Last Stand,' for the X-Men franchise this joke is true.

'Team Foxcatcher' tells the tragic story of Olympic champion wrestler Dave Schultz and his murder at the hands of deranged billionaire John E. du Pont. If that story sounds familiar, it’s because the tragedy was recently dramatized in Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher (2014). The documentary does much to fill in the gaps—and correct some inaccuracies—from the dramatization, but still contains some significant omissions.

The Klingon language has been in the media spotlight due to the Axanar vs. CBS/Paramount lawsuit. I talked with the developer of the Klingon language, Marc Okrand, to see if some additional insight into the matter could be found.
