OK, so let’s just get it out of the way now – We know that Joker: Folie À Deux was a monumental failure this year. The enticing mixture of Phoenix and Gaga and some musical sequences seemed like a heady continuation of the original Joker, a film I still think about to this day as an […]
From acclaimed writer/director/producer Todd Phillips comes Joker: Folie À Deux, the follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office.

One moment that comes to mind is a look that Tom Hanks gives during an […]
In the 1990s, independent films were on the rise and studios like Miramax were at the forefront of distribution. Many studios created a separate wing to focus on and gather the independent, documentary, art house and international films under a single banner away from the blockbusters and bigger star studded fare. Sony Pictures developed Sony […]
Adaptation was a big deal in 2002, following the well lauded Being John Malkovich. The Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman combination went to bat again. Though it wasn’t nominated for Best Picture or Director, it had a good presence in major categories with Best Adapted Screenplay (Charlie Kaufman), Best Actor (Nicolas Cage) and Best Supporting […]
Back in 1999, I was pretty psyched for 8MM as it was the follow up film from the writer of Seven. Its well known the film Andrew Kevin Walker and David Finher delivered back in 1995 and there weren’t many like it. 8MM promised to deliver some kind of spiritual sequel to it. When it […]
Of all the properties produced from the goliath animation studio known as Pixar, the one with the most rampant sequel potential has always been and still is, The Incredibles. And it seems like its the one that has taken the longest to get one since they started doing them for Non-Toy Story and Cars films. […]
I have been anxiously waiting for the past three years to see a sequel to one of my favorite films from 2015, Sicario. Truth be told, it’s also one of my favorite 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays too. Looks phenomenal and that opening blast scene…wow! So here we are it’s 2018 and the sequel they have […]

Those familiar with the work of Jordan Peele (of Comedy Central’s Key & Peele) may not be too surprised by the effectiveness of his horror debut Get Out. His television series juggled laughs with socially conscious material and cinematic flair, no different than how effective horror films mask their deeper and relevant social themes with […]

This true story takes place during the late 80’s in Yonkers, New York. The newly elected 28 year old Mayor Nick Wasicsko has a major housing crisis to deal with. The courts have ruled that the city of Yonkers must build new low income housing witch would integrate and diversify traditionally white neighborhoods. Needless to […]
So the time has now come where I can say that I have seen The Croods. Sure, this is not the most epic pronouncement, but the film was a big hit, potentially establishing a new animated franchise for DreamWorks Animation and it had enough regard to make me curious. It helps that the film is […]
Here’s an animated film that I never got around to seeing, but heard enough good things to make me kind of regret not doing so. Maybe it has to do with curiosity surrounding Nic Cage playing a caveman in an animated film (though not being animated would make me more curious) or maybe it has […]
