Review: CONTAGION
Sometimes the scariest movies are the ones that feel the most real. That is the case with the 2011 film from Steven Soderbergh, Contagion. As we speak, the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) disease is making its way into more and more populations, infecting thousands of individuals. Even at the time of its release, Soderbergh’s medical thriller was unnerving in its realistic portrayal of how quickly a virus can become an epidemic that can turn healthy individuals into statistics. With the Coronavirus in full swing, suspending just about all professional sports leagues imaginable, as well as delaying the release of just about every film being released theatrically in the next month, Contagion feels…

Our Most Anticipated Games of 2020
2020 is shaping up to be a blockbuster year for video games. This year brings us long-anticipated sequels to beloved properties, new IPs from some of gaming’s highest-regarded developers, and not to mention, the strong livelihood of both the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X dropping this holiday season! We decided to compile a list down below of 5 of our most anticipated games slated to drop this year! #5: Marvel’s Avengers I don’t think this one needs much explanation. This will be the first true Avengers console game (we’re not counting LEGO Marvel’s Avengers here) since the birth of the MCU. While we’re admittedly disappointed the game won’t be open-world, we’re…

John Mathews Saw CATS (2019)
Why on God’s green earth would you see Cats in the theater, John? That’s a question that I’m even asking myself. Based on the popular stage musical of the same name, Cats is about a tribe of, you guessed it, cats called the “Jellicles” (a word you’ll hear in the film a triple digit number of times), who must decide each year which one of them will ascend to the “Heaviside Layer” (basically heaven) and return purified. Did I mention the felines are humans crawling around in furry suits? Because yeah, this isn’t a cartoon. And for the sake of not having nightmares tonight, I wish it was one. Now, unless you’ve been living…

10 Films That Made Me Lose Faith in Cinema
Cinema is sacred, and it needs to be protected at all costs. Unfortunately, every now and then, a film comes along, trying to tarnish the art form. Whether it’d be a movie that exists just for advertising purposes, a movie with a CGI’d animal protagonist, or a remake that rips off a masterpiece shot for shot, there are some movies that really make you question why they were ever greenlit – and who exactly greenlit them. Here are 10 of those movies that made me lose hope in cinema. The Emoji Movie 💩 The Bye Bye Man When you’re a horror movie called The Bye Bye Man, you’d better poke…

SHAZAM! Casts Djimon Hounsou as the Wizard
EW has learned Djimon Hounsou has been cast in Shazam! He’ll be playing the 3,000 year-old sorcerer that grants young Billy Batson his powers. Now, you may be asking… … but the Kree mercenary Korath the Pursuer that adult Peter Quill runs into when he’s first introduced to the audience was played by Hounsou. You may also know Hounsou for his roles in Amistad, Gladiator (“I will see you again but not yet, not yet.”) and even 2005’s Constantine, where he played Papa Midnite. Hounsou is no stranger to comic book adaptations. Shazam! is set to hit theaters on April 5th, 2019. The seventh installment in the DC Films Universe stars Asher Angel, Zachary…

Review: DEADPOOL 2
Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool), brings together a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy of supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-traveling mutant, Cable. From the most interesting studio in the world, the one that killed Wolverine and is now property of Disney, comes Deadpool 2. The highly-anticipated sequel to 2016’s R-rated smash hit Deadpool has a new director in David Leitch (Atomic Blonde), a bigger budget to work with and a larger cast of characters, but is it able to hold a candle to its groundbreaking predecessor? Let’s find out. Sadly, I don’t think this sequel is as good as the first one. And yes, I’m aware that I gave the first a…

Review: DEADPOOL
Grab some Chimichangas, because it’s time to review Deadpool. Also known as the funniest superhero movie ever made. By a landslide. Oh, I wasn’t supposed to show my cards so early into this review? Oops. Well, onto the lovefest… Deadpool is the first ever solo movie for the “Merc with a Mouth”, a wise-cracking, fast-talking antihero from the X-Men Comics. He was created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld, and made his first appearance in issue #98 of The New Mutants back in February of 1991. It isn’t technically his first appearance on the big screen, nor is it Ryan Reynolds’ first time playing this character, but let’s not go further there. The story…

Review: IRON MAN 3
Arguably the most polarizing installment in the MCU up to this point, Iron Man 3 is Shane Black’s vision of a superhero movie. And the central reason it is so polarizing is because of that Mandarin twist that occurs during the halfway point of the movie. While some found that twist to be a genius subversion of expectations, others, especially comic readers looking forward to the Mandarin getting accurately portrayed on the big screen, hated that the Ben Kingsley villain wound up simply being a punchline. Guy Pearce’s Aldrich Killian is the real central villain of the picture. Where do I stand on this movie? Let’s find out. Cue the music. Iron…
