Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire is a space opera Zack Snyder and Netflix plan to use as a launching pad for a franchise. It is already a film that has stirred a lot of debate. Kora (Sofia Boutella) is a woman who lives in a simple farming community on the moon of Veldt. […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: A nun, who lives out in a convent in the middle of nowhere, is stalked by a world-famous AI algorithm and given a quest to find and destroy the Holy Grail. In exchange, the all-powerful AI will give the nun – who, coincidentally, blames the AI for the […]
The Dark Knight Returns is a graphic novel that hardly needs an introduction. It’s one of the most well-known graphic novels, it changed the public perception of the Caped Crusader, and arguably Frank Miller’s magnum opus. Along with Watchmen it was the graphic novel that ushered in the Dark Age of Comics. Elements of the graphic novel […]
From the mind of Joe Carnahan, Copshop is a genre throwback. It was a tight action-thriller set mostly in a police station. Teddy Murretto (Frank Grillo) is a criminal on the run and seeks safety by being arrested. He sucker punches Valerie Young (Alexis Louder), a rookie cop with the Gun Creek Police Department. However, Teddy’s safety […]
In 2018 Universal saw a surprising hit with the release of Halloween, a modern set sequel to the original 1978 film, which ignored the muddied continuity of the previous sequels. This idea of a “Legacy Sequel” paid off big, both financially and critically, with the film being the most successful sequel to date. Realizing the […]

One of the most famous was Mark Millar’s Superman: Red Son which showed what would happen if Superman was brought up in the Soviet Union. In 1955 the Soviet Union announced to the world that they have Superman, changing the balance […]
Almost a year ago, Watchmen premiered on HBO with a stunning sequence that brought the horrific Tulsa Massacre of 1921 back into the collective American consciousness. This week, HBO once again took us to the tragic events of May 31 through June 1, 1921 with the Lovecraft Country episode “Rewind 1921.” And when two shows […]
This Sunday, September 20th, marks the 72nd Emmy Awards (airing on ABC at 8:00PM ET/7:00PM CT). We’re also still in the throws of a global pandemic, so instead of a glitzy red carpet, television’s royalty (and the occasional film star) sitting in an auditorium pretending to be thrilled with losing a golden statue to a […]
The approach Lovecraft Country has taken to episode structure in its short time on the air has certainly been unique. After burning through enough plot for an entire season during the show’s first two episodes, episodes three and four have each tackled a particular film genre (haunted house in episode three and an Indiana Jones-style […]
