REVIEW: Willy’s Wonderland (2021) – The Best Movie Ever
This is a spoiler free review. I’ve been a fan of Five Nights at Freddy’s since Markiplier and MatPat started flooding YouTube with jump scare footage. The indie horror games created by Scott Cawthon played a huge role in reviving the childhood horrors of Chuck E. Cheese. Animatronic horror has seen a revival as a result, with a prominent example being The Banana Splits Movie, which reintroduced the Hanna-Barbera characters as serial killers. The most recent addition to this weird subgenre is Willy’s Wonderland. I saw the trailer for it a while back was intrigued, but it wasn’t exactly on my radar until I saw a clip from the movie…

5 More Marvel Legacy Characters We Want to See in the MCU
[Warning: The Following Contains Spoilers From WandaVision, As Well As Rumors Regarding the Third Spider-Man Movie’s Plot.] Before and during the early days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, other studios created their own films based on Marvel characters. Retroactively referred to as “Marvel Legacy” movies, they range from the wildly successful Spider-Man and X-Men franchises to standalone movies starring the likes of Daredevil, Hulk and the Fantastic Four. They all exist in their own continuity, which is almost unheard of in the modern age of superhero films. But now, with the MCU getting ready to explore the Multiverse, these worlds are starting to blur. Following J.K. Simmons’ reprisal of J.…

Review : FATMAN
When Billy Wenan gets a lump of coal under the Christmas tree, he declares war against Santa and hires an assassin to bring an end to the winter mascot people know and love. When the trailer for Fatman arrived, it took the internet by surprise. Those that watched it believed it was an off-season April fool’s joke (myself included). Now, flash-forward a couple of months and here I am writing a review for it. As the trailer started to roll, I was flabbergasted by what I was watching. Though, instead of a gun-crazy action fest like you might have expected from the trailer, the film actually tells a struggling couple’s…

Spoiler Free Review: Pixar’s SOUL
When the aspiring musician Joe ends up in trouble, he finds himself becoming a mentor in something he least expected. When I started my viewing of Pixar Animation Studio’s latest movie, a feeling of nervousness started to creep up. Everyone and their grandmother hailed this movie as Pixar’s next cinematic masterpiece. And as the credits started to roll, the shoulder started to ease up. While I might not find the movie to be the animated answer to Citizen Kane, to call Pixar’s Soul deserving of a place in the hall of fame is an understatement. One of the factors that makes Soul such a phenomenal experience is that they dare…

WONDER WOMAN 1984 Review
In the sequel to the 2017 blockbuster Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot returns as Diana Prince and takes us on an all-new adventure in Wonder Woman 1984. It’s a film that tries to be more than just your standard action flick but ends up falling into all of the same tropes as films that came before it. The film has this strange campiness to it, and at times it works, but mostly it doesn’t. We’re obviously in the 1980s, but the winks and nods can be too on the nose at times, and the script is ripped straight from that time period. The plot can be a bit clunky and downright…

Review: TENET (2020)
Christopher Nolan is a filmmaker who has had no shortage of ambition. Everything from his approach to big science fiction concepts (Inception, Interstellar) to reimagining Batman lore (The Dark Knight Trilogy) has been met with much success, both critically and financially. After visiting the World War II genre with 2017’s Dunkirk, Nolan returns to sci-fi with his latest outing, Tenet. Naturally, Tenet was one of the year’s most anticipated films, boasting not only Nolan’s latest original story, but also a stellar cast and enticing marketing. Then, COVID-19 happened. Eventually, the pandemic led to Tenet being delayed a few times. However, with Nolan pushing to hold on to its 2020 release…

Wakanda Forever: The Legacy of Chadwick Boseman
I fondly remember seeing Black Panther in theaters opening weekend more than two years ago. I always knew that the film would have a major impact. It was the first Marvel Studios movie starring a black superhero, and the first major superhero movie with a predominately black cast and crew. Black Panther was also one of my favorite superheroes, and to finally see him on the big screen was exciting, to say the least. But the energy surrounding the film’s opening weekend was higher than even I expected. My theater was crowded – not common for a Saturday morning showing – and the audience interacted heavily with the movie. Black…

Our 5 Favorite Moments from DC Fandome 2020 (Part 1)
DC Entertainment tried something new this year. Instead of the usual San Diego Comic-Con panels or out-of-nowhere announcements, the studio held a digital convention for its projects. Dubbed “DC Fandome,” the convention puts the spotlight on upcoming films, television shows, video games, and more. In fact, it was so big, DC decided to split it into two parts. Part 1 took place this past Saturday, while Part 2 will take place on September 12th. Part 1 was a huge success, showing off first looks at upcoming movies and revealing new video games. Fans have been raving about the reveals, trailers, and more since then. Most notably, on the film/TV side,…

5 More Video Games That Should Get a Live Action Adaptation
Video game adaptations have had a bad rep forever, but in recent years, the subgenre has shown improvement. Films such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Tomb Raider have been solid, while Castlevania has an outstanding anime series on Netflix. Currently, new properties like Uncharted and Monster Hunter are being adapted, with reboots of Mario and Mortal Kombat underway. And those are just the movies. Television adaptations in the works include HBO’s The Last of Us, Showtime’s Halo, and Amazon’s Fallout. We can also talk about Netflix’s The Witcher series, but that is an adaptation of the books, rather than the games. Now, we’re always thinking about the future. As long…
