Clayface is the third film in the DCU and the most unexpected film so far due to it being an origins story about a Batman villain. Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) is a rising star in Coast City, an actor who had worked his way out of Gotham City’s roughest district. His acting career reaches […]
Oh Vision. Manipulated into giving up the controls to Ultron with a simple appeal to your burgeoning emotional attachment to Thomas. I expected more of you. And yet, that might just be the surest sign that White Vision is slowly but surely morphing into something much closer to The Vision – helped along with malicious […]
Something happened at my screening of The Debut that has never happened at a film I’ve been at before. Following an absolute stunner of a speech from Julianne Moore’s Mona Friedman (a sequence that all but assures Moore is going to get a nomination for the Best Actress Oscar this year, if not start the race […]
Avatar: Seven Havens had a strong start with its first three episodes, and episodes four to six keep to that high standard. Ellora has fallen into a state of crisis. Bandits have raided the city for its resources, more people are suffering from a fear-induced psychosis, and rumours of the Avatar’s return are spreading after […]
In part one, I highlighted five Black indie animations: Toward Galaxy’s End, The Chaotic Misadventures of Arch & Reggie, Wheels & Roses, Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want to be a Magical Girl, and The Three Tomes.

Picture someone walking onto the bridge of a starship. Nobody’s spoken yet, and you already know plenty. The color of their uniform tells you what they do for a living. The arrowhead on the chest tells you who they answer to. Maybe there’s a sash over one shoulder, or a jacket that doesn’t quite match […]
If you watched WandaVision, I suspect seeing that this episode was titled “Theseus” immediately brought you back to the moment near the close of that series where White Vision (aka The Vision starring in VisionQuest) encountered the original Vision (or, at least, the memories of The Vision) and the duo had their conversation about the Ship of […]
The Social Reckoning is the spiritual sequel to 2010’s The Social Network. The sequel looks at how Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg not only knew about the social harm the platform has caused but actively encouraged it. Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allan White) is an investigative journalist who takes up a tech reporting job in the Wall […]
A prequel is a thorny undertaking. First, you need to justify why anyone needs to learn the story of what happened before the seminal (or, really, just popular) story that succeeds this jump into the past. And once you’ve done that, the story you’re telling needs to be good enough to stand up to that […]
