Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

[6] Another passable Marvel movie. Let's see. What was this one about. Shit. I saw about a week ago... I remember Paul Rudd and the new girl (Evangeline Lilly) spend most of the movie trying to get back Michael Douglas'…
The Predator (2018)

The Predator (2018)

[1] When I heard Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, screenwriter behind Lethal Weapon) was directing and Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad) was cowriting, I thought The Predator would have the right ingredients for a successful relaunch. I don't know…
Godzilla (1998)

Godzilla (1998)

[2] A giant radioactive lizard terrorizes New York City. There are probably at least 100 different ways this could have been more interesting and exciting, but producers Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) instead opt to make their Godzilla…
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

[6] After the surprisingly fun Jurassic World, Universal was quick to crank out this passable sequel. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard return, shoe-horned into a plot that doesn't really need them. The island that hosts the now-closed theme park…
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Deadpool 2 (2018)

Deadpool 2 (2018)

[7] SPOILERS. I think. If you care, don't read! I'm so glad we have a superhero who flirts with both men and women. In Deadpool 2, Ryan Reynold's wisecracking vigilante is seen grabbing the iron ass of Colossus, going tip to…
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

[8] I've been hard on Marvel movies for being cookie-cutter and devoid of surprises, but Avengers: Infinity War stops that trend dead in its tracks. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Civil War) are downright…
Black Panther (2018)

Black Panther (2018)

[6] Somewhere in Africa, there's a secret society hidden away by fancy technology. They have, like, a really super-strong metal there that the rest of the world wants, but the secret African people know the rest of the world will…
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)

[8] Writer/director Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper) picks up the reigns and steers the franchise into bold, new waters with an entry that summons Star Wars fans to let go of the past and wipe the slate clean, so that something…
Iron Man (2008)

Iron Man (2008)

[7] The superhero film movement happened in spurts dating all the way back to Richard Donner's 1978 film Superman: The Movie, but with Iron Man, Marvel Studios declared the genre was here to stay. Iron Man lays groundwork for a greater…
