Hops and Box Office Flops: ‘THE SUICIDE SQUAD’
Passion Fruit Starfish James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, which is a pseudo-sequel to 2016’s film, is an unapologetic, Troma-inspired, super heroic gore fest. And it is glorious! This is Gunn’s superhero magnum opus. He dives deep into DC’s bag of obscure characters to assemble a ragtag group of expendable heathens. Make no mistake, many of these oddballs are here to die. And they do so in a series of grotesque ways. This is a hard R, folks. Unlike Birds of Prey or Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which could’ve curbed their foul language to earn a PG-13, The Suicide Squadbasks in the magnificence of its unfettered violence. Bullets are sprayed, a man is murdered with his…

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…

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 DC Movie/TV Characters We Want to See in THE FLASH Movie
This week, news broke that DC‘s The Flash/Flashpoint movie will feature a Batman – but not the one anyone expected. Michael Keaton, the star of Batman (1989) and Batman Returns, is in talks to return to his iconic role, in what is said to be the first of several appearances throughout the DC Extended Universe.

This can allow for other characters from DC’s film and television history to appear. We saw this in The CW’s Crisis on…
