It is with a heavy heart that we had to write about the passing of Fred Ward. One of the most prolific actors working in Hollywood with a career spanning over 40 years and over 80 appearances onscreen. Ward may not have been a leading man in many of his films, but regardless of whether or not you recognize the name, you absolutely recognize the face and presence. Ward had a knack bringing a gravitas and seriousness to just about every role, but was always able to somehow translate that into expert comedic timing. His filmography is as varied as…

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is a Sam Raimi horror film first, an MCU entry second, and that’s ok.

“Moon Knight” starts strong, is packed with strong performances, but lacks necessary execution to be a worthy inclusion into the MCU.

The further into the Marvel Cinematic Universe we go, the more connected everything gets. After 28 films and even more deeply connected television series serving as gap fillers, we can no longer waltz into a new Marvel Studios film without a vast knowledge of what came before it.

Robert Eggers’ “The Northman” feels more like a tapestry of masterful visual storytelling than a complete film narrative.

“Samurai Rabbit” lets Netflix do some babysitting for you, or throw something on as semi-white noise while you try to adult on the weekend.

I’m not really sure what to make of the upcoming “Barbie” film from Greta Gerwig. Either Warner Bros is calling in a ton of favors or the the film has a god-tier script. There is just no other explanation as to why so many people are signing on to be cast in this film. It’s basically a “Knives Out 2,” where the list of actors who aren’t in the film is smaller than the list of people IN the film. I don’t know that anyone asked for this, but WB Studios seems to be taking the John Hammond expense and…

You’re going to be hard pressed to find a film more enjoyable and funny than “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.”
