The big breaking news in the world of entertainment is that the long-awaited (long, Long, LONG awaited) sequel to DC’s Wonder Woman will finally be released in theaters on Christmas Day… the present we deserve at the end of the long worldwide nightmare that has been 2020. But that’s not all! In addition to releasing in theaters, it will be simultaneously debuting on HBO Max. … Continue reading Wonder Woman To Be Released On HBO Max!
Top 10 Franchises: According to Paul from The Countdown: Movie and TV Reviews! (On Twitter!) I’m used to making lists. I do it every week on my show with my co-host Wayne, and we manage to talk for at least an hour about our choices. But I can’t imagine how long writing out an hour’s worth of talk would be, so I’m going to make this short and … Continue reading Top Ten: Movie Franchises (by THE COUNTDOWN!)
Hey everyone! This is Ken M from the ODPH podcast, better known as the Ocho Duro Parlay Hour, and for this GotS top 10 challenge, we’re talking best movie franchises. In all of Hollywood’s history, to get 3 or more quality films out of an idea/concept/story can be more of a challenge that you think. For my list, I broke down my criteria for what makes a great … Continue reading Top Ten: Movie Franchises (by the #ODPH!)
Franchises. No, not… I mean, MOVIE franchises. Why make one good movie when you can make somewhere between three and a hundred movies of varying quality, right? Hollywood is ON BOARD with this notion. If a movie is released to more than 2000 theaters nationwide, you can almost bet someone behind it all envisions it becoming a sprawling film empire. As someone who grew up … Continue reading Top Ten: Movie Franchises
BEST MOVIE FRANCHISES By Andrew Morgan, Host of The NOMCAST – Netflix Original Movie Podcast (@jokesondrew / @nomcastpod / Nomcastpod.com) With the inception of the “Summer Blockbuster” with Jaws in 1975, the movie industry changed forever. Prior to Jaws, most major film releases came out during the Winter months when most people would go to the movies (especially in the Northeast to escape those terrible winters or your relatives … Continue reading Top Ten: Movie Franchises (by THE NOMCAST!)
Wait a minute… This feels familiar. (Also, the longer I look at the word (“word”) “Fridayth”, the more I think it looks like the name of a Norse deity. Just throw a misplaced J in there, and we are good to go. Frijdayth! The dawn of our Norn blessings!) Anyway, remember back in October when we ranked our best candies in honor of Halloween? Originally, I wanted that … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: Part 2
When it comes to ranking the 10 scariest movie monsters the challenge is separating themonsters from the humans. Because, while tons of humans behave monstrously or becomesupernatural monsters by magic or sheer will, they are/were nonetheless human.I believe it’s cheating to put some seriously scary human characters like Michael Meyers(Halloween) or Jason Voorhees in this category because while they are excellent movie villains,they don’t quite … Continue reading Book Of Lies’ Top Ten Horror Movie Monsters!
I am always very excited to do a Friday the 13th article. And then, it turns out… I don’t really have that much to say about Friday the 13th. I am not a freemason in the dark ages, it seems (Right? That’s where Friday the 13th as a relevant thing comes from, right? Something to do with freemasons and a murder conspiracy or something? Or … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth
Before we get too far into this, let’s review the impetus for my watching The Exorcist for the first time ever (YES, I know, right!? More on that in a minute): This fantastic piece of work was made by the same man who gave SWO Productions all of our banners and icons, the incomparable Manster of Pint O’ Comics! Check him out on Twitter and … Continue reading Movie Reviews: The Exorcist
As we inch closer to ending this hellscape that is 2020, we also grow ever nearer to the long-awaiting release of Zack Snyder’s cut of the Justice League. And news just keeps on breaking about it on our way there. There are two stories of which I was recently made aware. The first is that Jared Leto will now be in the Snyder Cut, reprising … Continue reading Snyder Cut News And Thoughts!
Jojo Rabbit looked so damn risky when I first started seeing trailers for it. I mean, let’s be honest: World War II was eighty years ago. EIGHTY YEARS! That is by no mean insubstantial. World War II was as close to the Civil War as it is to the current day. Many of us won’t live to see an eightieth birthday; World War II was … Continue reading Movie Review: Jojo Rabbit
I mentioned recently that I really wanted to see Parasite, but knew little about it going in. I thought it was for the best that I keep it that way and try to see the movie as soon as possible to see what all the buzz was about. I’m glad I did. Bong Joon-Ho’s 2019 movie about class and desperation is a lot of different things at … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Parasite
Back on 12/15/2019, I finally got around to seeing Rian Johnson’s modern update on the throwback whodunnit mystery genre, Knives Out. It’s not the kind of movie you see very often these days, and one whose heyday seems to have long-since passed. It stars Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, a world-renowned detective brought into a seemingly open-and-shut case of suicide and finding out that not everything … Continue reading Movie Review: Knives Out
Let’s preface this right away: I did not care for Hereditary much. I know a lot of folks did. I have seen that people really seemed to dig Ari Aster’s debut feature length horror film about Toni Collette acting bonkers and heralded it as their Film of 2018, and that’s absolutely fine. It clearly wasn’t for me, but I see what others could have enjoyed about … Continue reading Movie Review: Midsommar
I have precious little patience for movies in my own home. I assume it’s my Millenial-adled mind that sees far too many distractions and can’t allow me to sit still long enough to pay that much attention, but I’m just really bad at it. Oddly, the more people that are involved, the better I get (by myself? I NEVER watch movies at home? Just me … Continue reading I Love The Cinema!
