This is a film that traffics in ideas expected from stories dealing with legal […]

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Forever (Movie Review)

I am a Batman fan. People who know me well enough are pretty clear on that. With that said, while Batman and the characters in his universe provide more for me to think about, I also grew up reading and watching Spider-Man (and occasionally his amazing friends). I may find something more inherently interesting in […]

I guess I’ll just get this over right from the get go.  You may proceed to throw proverbial stones if you want.  I know I’m in the minority here.  Spider-Man 3 was my favorite flick of the Raimi trilogy.  Ouch!  Ooh!  Ah!  That hurts.  But hey!  I have my reasons for liking it, and regardless […]
