Fantastic Four
Marvel really needed this one to land. With all the talk of superhero fatigue and Marvel oversaturating the market with mediocrity the last few years, Fantastic Four could have been a cosmic palate cleanser after James Gunn’s Superman swooped in to deliver some redemption for the genre. Instead, Fantastic Four is more the cinematic equivalent…

Craig Silliphant’s Top 10 Movies of 2024
It’s that time of year, movie lovers! When we begin to enact our New Year’s resolutions and try to get rid of those holiday pounds, I know it’s time to drop my choices for the best (and worst) movies of the previous year. I’ll give you the same disclaimer I have to give each year:…

The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart (blu ray review)
The Venture Bros. is ending its run, not with another season, but with a full-length movie. Here’s our blu ray review of the new film! I opened my mail last week and screamed like a teenage girl at a Beatles concert in 1963, because I held in my hands a blu ray copy of The…

Supercell
The weather-related movie, Supercell is a 2023 film about a young boy who runs away to follow in the footsteps of his storm chasin’ poppa. Natural disaster films are hardly new. The first I remember is Earthquake (1974), but it goes back at least until The Hurricane (1937), or arguably even Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928).…

Living With Chucky
There are some great documentaries about horror movies that have been released in the last couple of years. Richard Gary takes a look at one. It is wonderful that some of the modern classic horror films, post-1990s, are getting some documentary attention, such as Pennywise: The Story of IT in 2022, and Never Sleep Again:…
