“A Quiet Place Part II” is one of those rare occasions where a sequel to a surprise hit actually does justice to the original. Writer, Director, and actor John Krasinski (of “The Office” fame), returns once again, but only in an opening flashback sequence (after his untimely demise at the end of the first film), before he settles back behind the camera. When the first film came out in 2018, it was an immediate hit, with an excellently crafted story about an alien invasion by a species with superhuman-levels of hearing (although blind otherwise). Sitting in a theater with everyone…

“Those Who Wish Me Dead” is so very silly while also having some decent grace notes among the characters. It might have been made by a student of the works of Guy Ritchie. Unfortunately it wasn’t a very good student film, which is a shock, since it was written and directed by Taylor Sheridan (the same fellow who wrote both “Yellowstone” and “Sicario”). Angelia Jolie stars as Hannah Faber, a tough as nails smokejumper with PTSD. She ends up finding a young boy, Connor (played by Finn Little) who has damning information about a mob boss’s accounting irregularities. Connor is…

The past few years has only served to remind us what a powerhouse filmmaker can do with the ability to deliver some amazing original content. Unfortunately, the latest release from the DCEU’s chief architect Zack Snyder, “Army of the Dead,” doesn’t even begin to hold up. Dave Bautista leading a rag tag group of zombie-fighting mercenaries on a casino heist in the midst of a sea of the undead – how could it go wrong, right? The result is so lackluster and drawn out that one might start to think back on the horrid “Train to Busan” sequel, “Peninsula” and…

It’s been a turbulent time for “The Mandalorian” actress Gina Carano, who plays the bounty hunter, Cara Dune. Ever since social media posts surfaced in 2020 with anti-masker sentiments there have been calls for her removal from the Disney+ series. Lucasfilm has released a statement indicating that the actress is no longer employed by the company. Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable. While Carano had previously posted anti-trans…

“WandaVision” has been hit and miss over it’s initial five episodes, but with the most recent installment (which is actually simply titled, “Episode 5”) it did something more than just continuing the storyline. But we’ll get to that in a moment (and we’ll warn you before we get to the main spoiler). After last week’s, We Interrupt this Program, we got a picture of what’s been going on in the outside world. Including seeing Monica Rambeau (played by Teyonah Parris) returning after the second half of the blip from “Avengers: Endgame”. That element ties in the young Monica from “Captain…

Well, it seems that by an innocent slip-up, the title of the upcoming fourth installment in the “Matrix” franchise has been let out of the bag. Thus far Warner Bros. Pictures has been largely tight lipped around the storyline or details around the film. However it was an innocuous wrap gift that wound up being the leak. Shunika Terry, the key hairstylist on location in Germany, had posted to her Instagram account, a photo of what appears to be a Neo-inspired jacket or shirt, with an accompanying card, reading: …during these extraordinary times in the making of Matrix Resurrections. Wir…

George Clooney will executive produce Legendary Pictures upcoming “Buck Rogers” revival project, but will he star in it?

We are very sorry to share the news that “Babylon 5” star Mira Furlan as sadly passed away.As if the cast of “Babylon 5” hasn’t had enough tragedy from losses amongst their ranks over the years. Sadly this evening, the series creator J. Michael Straczynski posted on his Facebook page that Furlan had passed on Wednesday, January 20th. While not having much information on the cause, JMS posted a touching In Memorium: When Mira Furlan came to audition for Babylon 5, her home country of Yugoslavia was in turmoil and shattering into two separate countries. During our first meeting, we…
