THE LEGO MOVIE [Review]: Not just Another Brick in the Wall…

You know, after The Dark Knight back in 2008, I was wondering when Warner Bros. were going to release the next great Batman movie. Well the wait is finally over! The LEGO Movie is the best movie featuring Batman in years! (And from the looks of it, the only good movie featuring Batman for the …

JUSTICE LEAGUE – WAR [Review/Q&A]: Batman vs. Green Lantern.

It’s been six months since Man of Steel was crumbling box office's worldwide, so it wouldn't be a shock if there are plenty jonesing for more from the house not owned by Disney. So, throwing solo efforts aside -- like WB has thus far with the Superman sequel, ehhh... -- DC decides to keep the …

JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT [Review]: (A far too) Clear & Present Danger.

For nearly 2-hours Tuesday night, my head couldn't stop swirling the word.. "no." No! No! No! Save for Kevin Costner, who's become somewhat of a revelation in his third career (directing was his second) as a supporting actor, there was nothing right with the fifth film to feature the poor American man's 007, Jack Ryan. …

THOR: THE DARK WORLD [Review]: Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em.

First, the good news: The Dark World is the Thor movie longtime fans of the character and comic have imagined since children, as each of the Nine Realms suitably mimics those majestic pages from the fantastical mind of Jack Kirby. More than half of the movie takes place in a wondrously rainbow-lit Asgard, with bits …

SUPERHEROES – A Never-Ending Battle [Podcast]: Capes, Masks & Tights.. OH MY!

Before I had a chance to attend the world premiere of NECESSARY EVIL: The Super-Villains of DC Comics, PBS was nice enough to supply GodHatesGeeks with promo copies of their latest documentary, Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle. The doc covered the near 75-years of comics -- from 1938's Action Comics #1 to... well... 2012's Action Comics #1 …

THE WORLD’S END [Review]: Genre switch? I’ll drink to that!

Edgar Wright is a risk taker. There's a damn good reason why the cult director has taken on Marvel's Ant-Man, made a bunch of films that were never supposed to be this revered, and has the audacity to switch from comedy to sci-fi more than halfway through a film. This should never happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPer7NvkZ4o But, …
