Here’s a film that totally took me by surprise to become my number one feature earlier this year. It totally breaks away from the conventional chains and restrictive bonds of horror films and exploits the genre in ways not seen since the days of the Evil Dead franchise. And I for one was never expecting […]

Given the visual wonderment seen throughout this darker take on the Snow White fairy tale, it is too bad there is not more to praise in other regards. Snow White and the Huntsman is a fairly empty film that has plenty to show off on the outside, given the high budget and imaginations at work […]

After seeing The Avengers twice, it seems like the entire concept of combining the Iron Man, Thor, and the Captain America franchises along with all of their supporting characters into one massive movie seems like a kick-ass idea with no chance of failure. But back in the late nineties that concept represented some pretty audacious […]

As a non-comic book reader, my history and knowledge about The Avengers and its characters isn’t that great and often consists of only one viewing of each of their individual movies. On the way to the theater my husband was quizzing me about the other movies so he could make sure I understood what had happened […]

I love it when a plan comes together. In one of the most ambitious film proposals in recent memory, The Avengers has finally arrived and paid off greatly. Setting itself up back in 2008 with Iron Man and adding on layers through the other four Marvel Comic films that have come since, the massive gamble […]

Five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods. Bad things happen. If you think you know this story, think again. Starring Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins, and Bradley Whitford. From fan favorites Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard comes The Cabin in the Woods, a mind […]

As soon as the marketing for The Cabin in the Woods finally started to kick into gear for this long-delayed release (MGM went bankrupt and the flick was left in limbo), I went on media blackout for it. Having heard for so long that the movie is quite good and clever (which it is), but […]

This past weekend, the 2012 SXSW Film Festival opened with Drew Goddard’s Cabin in The Woods, a horror/comedy mashup you’re going to end up seeing on a whole bunch of film geek top-ten lists come December 2012. The buzz surrounding Cabin in The Woods has—let’s be frank—kind of bordered on the hyperbolic, calling it a […]

I was kind of worried throughout the first half of the year that it wasn’t going to be a pleasant 2011 as far as theater viewings went. There were more than a few flops at the cinema by the time June came to a close with a sparse picking of films that had some ‘wow’ factor. […]

It has been an extremely busy year for comic book based films, and we’re still not done yet; Captain America, I’m looking at you! Before we get to the Cap’n, we’ve got to get to the God of Thunder himself; Thor! I need to preface this review by stating that I received the full 3-D […]

While there are plenty of other things to eventually write about concerning Disney’s D23 Expo, which took place at the Anaheim Convention Center this past weekend, one of the most anticipated moments was easily the debut of basically anything related to the upcoming Avengers film. As many keeping track of this sort of news know, […]

Summer, 2011, is an important time for Marvel Studios. Both Thor and Captain America are going to hit theaters, and they have been designed to build into the Avengers movie that will be released in 2012. A dense movie universe, with so much history and comic mythology behind it, has not been attempted before, so […]
