ARMY OF THE DEAD REVIEW: Jackpot!
2021 is five months old, and two of its best films belong to Zack Snyder. With Army of the Dead—his first foray with the decaying since 2004’s Dawn of the Dead—Snyder has crafted a grisly and gratifying world. It’s a sandbox all his own, allowing him the freedom to go for broke. That brash style may not suit all genres, but it works perfectly here. There is no greater indicator of that than the movie’s opening credits. After we witness the inciting incident—the escape of the alpha zombie—we then bask in the murderous mayhem of the zombie horde descending on Vegas. The ramifications of which are painted through a montage…

Hops and Box Office Flops: ‘BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA’
It’s All in the Reflexes Big Trouble in Little China is a seminal 80s movie, and it may just be John Carpenter’s best work. Starring Kurt Russell—a frequent Carpenter collaborator—as the braggadocios Jack Burton, it takes a familiar formula (the action/comedy team up) and escorts it into a superbly crafted world of ancient Chinese mysticism and mayhem. It subverts audience expectations in other ways, as well. Burton—for all his witticisms—is not your stereotypical hero. He’s actually more a bumbling, albeit well-intentioned, buffoon. The true hero is his friend Wang Chi (Dennis Dun). Their natural chemistry, along with the film’s out of this world villains, creates something more than your average action movie. It’s truly…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×09- “Timeless”
The Flash (7×09)- “Timeless” Written by: Kristen Kim & Joshua V Gilbert Directed by: Menhaj Huda So we pick up with Iris doing her best Leonard McCoy imitation for Alexa… …and Nora unveils her big heel turn promo. It’s good too, the night Iris reignited the Speed Force she and Barry somehow brought the other Forces into being and Nora’s cleaning up their mess and Barry’s going to help. Barry’s not too keen on killing anymore but Nora isn’t exactly asking she’s telling. It’s a good heel turn but Nora probably should’ve hired Paul Heyman to be her advocate, really drive the point home. Anyway, you guys have a big…

REVIEW: New Pokemon Snap (Switch)
Pokemon is not a stranger when it comes to video game spinoffs. One of the many spinoffs that have been released over the years is a simple one, filled with charm, named Pokemon Snap on the Nintendo 64: an on-rail shooter with the objective of taking the photos of Pokemon. Although some monsters were open to some prime photography, others you had to lure out with bait and other tactics. Now, over 20 years later, The Pokemon Company, with the help of Bandai Namco, has released a long-awaited sequel named New Pokemon Snap for The Nintendo Switch. Instead of Professor Oak, the player helps the newly introduced Professor Mirror who…

Hops and Box Office Flops: ‘THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK’
It’s an Animal Thing The Chronicles of Riddick is the big budget sequel to 2000’s more reasonably priced and plotted Pitch Black. Both feature Richard B. Riddick (Vin Diesel), a wanted ex-con and master of navigating the dark. He’s an anti-hero—a man who has done bad things, but who we root for because of his devil may care attitude. It was an archetype that worked perfectly in Pitch Black, as well as the third film in the series Riddick. The problem with The Chronicles of Riddick—problems rather—is the sheer size of the story they are attempting to insert him into. Chronicles is a full-on space opera. There are prophecies, warlords, intrigue, and treachery. It’s a lot;…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 7×08- “The People V Killer Frost”
The Flash (7×08)- “The People V Killer Frost” Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Sudz Sutherland Alright! Welcome back! So we have a quick cold open where Kramer meets with the clearly-not-quite-right ARGUS agent and they hint that whatever Kramer is doing is going to cause problems. They we’re over to STAR Labs where Frost is out awaiting sentencing and the gang is sounding a bit less like Barry is a charter member of the Justice League and more like they’d subscribe to this guy’s newsletter: Cause guys you’re definitely sounding like the “We know better than you petty humans” crowd and that’s not cool. But it’s…

Slice of Dune: A Slice of Film Podcast
Dune has been the talk of the past two years, with how gorgeous the previews have been from director Denis Villenueve. With that, I decided to take Slice of Film, and explore the first movie adaptation, Dune (1984), directed by David Lynch. With Toto’s soundtrack, some weird characters, and some jumps around in the overall story, this is one crazy film. Joining me for the adventure is Joe Janero from the Comicbook Rundown podcast, and the Ranger Alliance podcast. After the film discussion, they’ll take a peek into Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Survivor, Paradise PD, Resident Alien, and the first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
