Jeremy Allen White disappears into a haunted Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere, a dark and intimate look at the making of Nebraska. Quiet, brooding, and beautifully uncomfortable, it’s not the biopic fans might expect—but it’s exactly the kind of film Nebraska deserves. Continue reading Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere — Review
I still try to catch most MCU movies in the theater, and I was able to do so this weekend for the newest release: Thunderbolts. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one, and not for the ways I … Continue reading Movie Review: Thunderbolts
Was able to catch this one in the theater over the weekend. Enjoyed this one more than I think I was expecting to. Always enjoyed Papa Doc as the Falcon and I liked how they played him as the new Cap without trying to be the old Cap. It was kind of a big theme, and a smart choice. Especially liked the “serum or not to serum” debate. Harrison Ford is starting to look every bit of his age, but that helps here. He is playing a guy who is a career asshole on the wrong side of a lot. … Continue reading Review: Captain America: Brave New World
I’m a Crow fan. No, like, I’m that guy: My license plate was even Crow related. Although in a painful twist, it was The Crow 2, because apparently someone in Illinois beat me to The Crow 1. More on why that hurt a little later. That being said, I’ve have never been a guy clamoring for a remake of The Crow, which came out when I was 13 years old and became a nearly nightly staple of my high school bedtime ritual. When I say I’ve watched it a thousand times, it is not an exaggeration. No wonder I didn’t … Continue reading Review: The Crow (2024)
I was a wrestling kid growing up. And at the age of 45, that means I was watching World Class Championship Wrestling on ESPN every week in the early 80s. My first favorite wrestler I can remember having? Kevin Von Erich. Apparently I always gravitated to the smaller, athletic guys. Later on, it would be Dynamite Kid, Jyushin Lyger, Brian Pillman and so on. But first, there was Kevin. The barefoot, lanky flyer (for that time, at least). He had the best standing drop kick in the business as far as I can remember at that time. Yes kids, there … Continue reading CineWeez: The Iron Claw
Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther has probably been my favorite MCU character so far, acknowledging that Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool is not technically MCU yet. So, losing Boseman was obviously a heavy thing. But still, the MCU must continue. Wakanda Forever leans heavily into the loss of its titular character, and excels in doing so. The focus of the movie is with the characters dealing with that loss and in doing so, Wakanda Forever becomes the heaviest foray into the MCU to hit the big screen. WandaVision dealt heavily with loss as well, but this was the first theatrical release to go … Continue reading Let’s Get Reel: Black Panther, Wakanda Forever
