What's clear is that 'Into the Spider-Verse' isn't limited by being an animated feature. No. For this Spider-Man - Miles Morales Spider-Man - animation is the feature which removes all limits.

"Venom" has no identity to wrap itself around. It's not scary enough to be horror and not funny enough to be comedy. If it weren't for the comic books, it would barely be a superhero movie.

I’ve never made a movie. I’ve always wanted to, I’ve written a couple on my own, co-written a couple more, and even arranged a cast and crew and scheduled a shoot only to have it all collapse, twice, but I have yet to actually make a movie. The excuses are …

The plot of 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' can't help but feel really small, so to speak, compared to the prospect of wiping out of half of all life in the universe, but the off-beat humor keeps the movie brisk when the low-stakes story and low-rent secondary villains aren't enough to propel it forward.

As is everything in the universe, there has to be a foundation for things and geek culture is no different. In fact, stories like The Terminator, War Games, or Back to the Future are all required films to watch if one has any hope of labeling himself a true nerd …

Not to start off on a sour note but many events in 2017 have reaffirmed my commitment to living outside of the United States. As much as this placement has made it easy to exist beyond the reach of current domestic turbulence, it’s also made it difficult in the last …

'Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi' includes sequences that rank among the best of any 'Star Wars' film. It's exciting, intriguing, complex, funny, and, most unexpected of all, artistic. But there are also moments which rival the series' absolute worst.
