‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ Review: More Manic, Web-Slinging Fun

David Palmer2 Comments

I think it’s wildly impressive that we are over 10 “Spider-Man” films deep and have yet to have a (truly) bad one! That’s some “Scream” level of consistency! “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is the sequel to the 2018 film “Into the Spider-Verse,” and follows Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld)… Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ Review: More Manic, Web-Slinging Fun

‘Bullet Train’ Review: All Aboard for a Bloody (Mostly) Good Time

David Palmer2 Comments

It’s rare, but sometimes a trailer depicts a film for exactly what it is. “Bullet Train” is based off the Japanese novel of the same name, and stars Brad Pitt as an unlucky American assassin who gets caught up in a conspiracy aboard a moving Shinkansen (or, “bullet train”). Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree… Continue reading ‘Bullet Train’ Review: All Aboard for a Bloody (Mostly) Good Time

It Won’t Change the World, but ‘Joker’ is an Uncomfortable, Entertaining Watch

David Palmer2 Comments

If nothing else, at least this is a better murderous clown film than “It Chapter Two.” “Joker” is an original origin story for Batman’s archenemy, and stars Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role. Todd Phillips directs and co-writes, while Zazie Beetz and Robert De Niro also star. The hype around this film has been building… Continue reading It Won’t Change the World, but ‘Joker’ is an Uncomfortable, Entertaining Watch

‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ isn’t Perfect, but it’s Colorful and Poignant

Unrelated fact: Tobey Maguire is the best Spider-Man we’ve ever had, and the Sam Raimi trilogy is the best superhero series ever put to film. Ok. On with the review. “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” is an animated telling of the titular character (the ninth in as many years). It features Shameik Moore as Miles Morales,… Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ isn’t Perfect, but it’s Colorful and Poignant

‘Widows’ Can’t Fully Pull Off the Job, but the Effort is There

David PalmerLeave a comment

It’s like “Ocean’s 8” just with none of the light-hearted jokes or Rihanna and Awkafina quipping. “Widows” is based off the 1980s British TV series of the same name, and follows a group of women (Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, and Cynthia Erivo) who must complete a heist to pay back a crime boss… Continue reading ‘Widows’ Can’t Fully Pull Off the Job, but the Effort is There
