Going In A New Direction I saw M3GAN 2.0 way back on its opening weekend. Sadly, I’m just now finding the time to give a brief review of the film. The film pits an upgraded version of Megan against a rogue version of herself dubbed AMELIA, a self-aware android that looks even more human thanContinue reading “M3GAN 2.0 (2025)”

Superman (2025)

“You have a dog???” Despite resistance from a healthy heaping of naysayers and supposed Snyderverse supporters, James Gunn’s vision of Superman took flight on July 11, 2025. I managed to watch it today, July 13th, and have to admit, it’s a great film. It’s hilarious at times, full of action and witty dialogue, and takesContinue reading “Superman (2025)”

The Old Dark House (1932)

“Laughter and sin….” With a cast that featured Boris Karloff, Melvyn Douglas, Lilian Bond, and the director James Whale, you’d think that 1932’s The Old Dark House would have been a massive hit. Instead, it fell through the cracks of cinematic history and was believed to be lost at one point. I only recently discoveredContinue reading “The Old Dark House (1932)”

“Fear is born.” Fueled by his hate for the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro unleashes the power of fear with Parallax. Released in 2024, two years after the Hal Jordan Parallax figure, McFarlane Toys does a decent job of capturing Sinestro in all of his Parallax empowered glory. The figure utilizes the exact same mold asContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Gold Label: Sinestro (Parallax)”
