B-movies are hard to come by these days. Sure, there is no shortage of low-budget horror films the like Blumhouse produces, but not many films are willing to tout a ridiculous premise that it intends to fully exploit for our entertainment, at least not among wide-release movie theater films. Streaming, boosted by a global pandemic... Continue Reading →

The "Ant-Man" franchise remains to be an anomaly, now that it has completed a trilogy. The first... Continue Reading →
