Review: ‘M3GAN’ serves camp, and slays along the way

When the trailer dropped a few months ago, it was inevitable that M3GAN, the latest offering from Blumhouse Productions, would be an incredible filmgoing experience.

From her fierce dance moves glimpsed in the initial trailer to her stylish costuming, the killer doll was destined for fame. Thankfully, the actual movie lives up to the hype and brings all the campiness we could want, while interrogating real questions about parenting in an age of pervasive technology.

DC fans have the perfect cosmic candidate for Green Lantern, but the rights might be an issue

There aren’t many creative ideas that can book you a meeting with Satan at their mere utterance; among their limited numbers is the entirety of The Emoji Movie, the sudden death at the end of Titans‘ second season, and the Green Lantern film deciding to launch its final product with its vomit-inducing CGI.

Speaking of Green Lantern and the forbidden realms of creativity, we’re all taking a moment to pray that James Gunn doesn’t check Reddit very often. We trust him enough to know better on some of the more blacklist-worthy fan-casts, but this is one that we don’t even want to risk him seeing.

An unforgettable actioner with one of cinema’s all-time great villains scopes out a top spot on Netflix

Depending entirely on your personal preference, either the 1980s or 1990s can justifiably be deemed as the Golden Age of action cinema, with a veritable bounty of all-time classics emerging throughout those two decades. While the vast majority of them hailed from Hollywood, Luc Besson’s breakout hit Léon: The Professional can stake a claim for the finest international ass-kicker of the glorious period for the cinematic shoot ’em up.

A star-making turn from a revelatory Natalie Portman anchors the story, with the future Academy Award winner’s 12 year-old Matilda becoming close with Jean Reno’s title hero. When the youngster’s family are brutally murdered by a crooked DEA agent, the unlikely duo team up to take it to the villains with all guns blazing, and it’s spectacular to see it unfold.

Tom Hanks pitches himself for a fourth wall-breaking blockbuster team-up with Dwayne Johnson

Even though he’s reigned as one of the biggest and most popular stars in the business for over 30 years, Tom Hanks has never even come close to signing on for a blockbuster action spectacular, with his three-film stint in Ron Howard’s Robert Langdon trilogy the nearest he’s ever been to the orbit of a big budget IP-driven title designed with mass-market appeal.

The two-time Academy Award winner admitted that part of the reason is down to the fact he’s never been offered any such roles, having revealed in the past that he’s nor fielded so much of a phonecall from Marvel Studios. And yet, an unexpected tangent during a recent interview with Collider promoting his latest outing in remake A Man Called Otto led him down a rabbit hole, one that concluded with Hanks pitching a team-up with Dwayne Johnson alongside Hanks’ curmudgeonly title character.

James Cameron doesn’t hold back by blasting the entire streaming industry as ‘an unsustainable Ponzi scheme’

As a dedicated defender and supporter of the theatrical experience, James Cameron will definitely remain on the list of high-profile creatives you’ll never see spearheading a project designed exclusively for streaming, which is only partially due to the fact he’s destined to spend the majority of his career churning out Avatar sequels.

The roster of A-list talents never to have lent their name to an on-demand film or television title grows smaller by the week, but it would be very safe to assume that Cameron is destined to be one of the unbreakable holdouts, along with Tom Cruise.

More than a decade into his MCU run, Don Cheadle says ‘Armor Wars’ will finally figure out who Rhodey is

James Rhodes has been a part of the MCU since day one. The character made his debut in Iron Man as played by Terrence Howard, though Don Cheadle has made the role his own ever since 2010’s Iron Man 2. In that time, he’s appeared in a dizzying array of MCU projects and played a key role in most major plot events.

Despite him popping up all over the place, Rhodey has always been a supporting character rather than the focus of the story. That may all change in 2024 when Armor Wars hits theaters. Once planned as a Disney Plus show, Armor Wars has since been upgraded to a feature film and will see Cheadle’s Rhodey and Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams dealing with Stark tech falling into the wrong hands.

There are few aspects of the entertainment industry more exhausting than unfunny jokes that get memed into oblivion; one just has to consider the number of times that Benedict Cumberbatch’s or M. Night Shyamalan’s name has been purposely butchered for the sake of a single point of Reddit karma.

And despite Morbius being released on April 1 last year, that wasn’t the biggest joke to come out of it; having now gone down in infamy as one of the worst comic book movies ever released, its largest claim to fame is the dizzying number of “Morbin’ time” and “Morbin’ time”-adjacent jokes that have plagued the internet since it first hit the big screen.

Marvel masses growing impatient for the 2023 hype train to pull out of the station

New year, new phase. With 2022 behind us, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe can look ahead to Phase Five, the sophomore collection of the MCU’s Multiverse Saga set to kick off next month with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which will most notably serve as the first big-screen appearance of Kang the Conqueror, played by the astoundingly magnetic Jonathan Majors.

But, as just about every corner of the internet will tell you, Marvel sentiment isn’t quite what it used to be, with Phase Four, in particular, serving up a number of divisive titles while arguably over-saturating audiences with its additional Disney Plus content. The franchise probably won’t run out of steam as far as box office numbers go, but if it wants to retain the heart of its stories, Marvel will have to truly blow us away with Phase Five.

The best war movies are easily capable of grabbing you by the collar and plunging you directly into the thick of the action, and while David Ayer’s Fury definitely accomplishes that goal and then some, it’s the off-camera battles that threatened to steal the buzz away from the film itself.

Notorious method actor Shia LaBeouf became so consumed by his commitment to the project that he refused to bathe in the name of accuracy, repeatedly opened up a cut on his own face to add an unnecessary realistic layer of immersion, while he also pulled out one of his own teeth and converted from Judaism to Christianity for the sake realism.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace‘s Jar Jar Binks has a reputation roughly on par with the Ebola virus. The bumbling Gungan is generally considered the worst thing in the prequel trilogy, has faced accusations of being a racist caricature, and for all but the very youngest viewers his slapstick antics just aren’t funny. But, could Jar Jar have been redeemed with one simple alteration?

The character is notorious for his garbled way of talking, with dialogue like “You’d say, “boom de gasa”… den crashded da boss’s heyblibber…”, “Yousa should follow me now, okeeday?” and “Ooh, mooey mooey, I love you!” going down as some of the most embarrassing in cinematic history.

‘Star Wars’ fans have a suggestion for how to make the ‘Rey Skywalker’ reveal more palatable

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has a deservedly terrible reputation. Other entries in the franchise have their defenders, with Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi continually dividing opinion and generating debate, but there’s practically a consensus that The Rise of Skywalker – with its tin-eared dialogue, nonsensical plot, and the boneheaded decision to “somehow” resurrect Emperor Palpatine – is beyond redemption.

For many fans, the rancid cherry on top of this poorly baked cake is the finale, in which Rey buries Luke and Leia’s lightsabers in the Tatooine sand, declaring she’s now going to go by Rey Skywalker. This elicited groans in the theater, and is now considered yet more fetishizing of the past rather than moving on to new things.

DC diehards waiting patiently for an iconic villain to finally make a splash on the big screen

The internet is simultaneously holding its breath and screaming at the top of its lungs as James Gunn and Peter Safran get their hands dirty by rebuilding the DCU, namely by waiting with dwindling patience for more updates on the franchise’s first slate whilst loudly slagging Gunn for his dropping of Henry Cavill’s Superman, and other decisions that anyone familiar with the creative process – especially in this context – would understand.

For now, very little seems to be off the table for the franchise, and those are prime circumstances for the internet to fantasize about its hopes and dreams for the big screen turns of some of DC Comics’ most beloved characters. If recent events on r/DC_Cinematic are any indication, immortal villain Vandal Savage ranks near the top of many a DC fan’s wish-list.

December 20 marked the third anniversary of The Rise of Skywalker – to date the final theatrical Star Wars release. This wasn’t supposed to happen: in the late 2010s, Disney and Lucasfilm were planning on releasing a new movie every year, before the failures of Solo: A Star Wars Story and the disastrous The Rise of Skywalker saw the focus switch to Disney Plus shows instead.

Since then, Star Wars has made a comfortable home for itself on the small screen, with hits like The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor keeping the flag flying high for the franchise. Understandably, though, some fans are missing the cinematic experience:

MCU fans have ideas on how to fix an X-Men favorite that’s always been done dirty in live-action

It’s safe to say Cyclops didn’t get the respect he deserved in the Fox X-Men movies. From the 2000 original onwards, he was the straight-laced butt of the joke, with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine taking every available opportunity to clown on him and flirt with Jean Grey right under his nose.

The low point came in X-Men: The Last Stand. Actor James Marsden had taken a role in Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns over at Warner Bros., and so in a supremely catty retaliatory move, Fox unceremoniously killed off Cyclops in the first act. He went on to reprise the role in Days of Future Past, with Tye Sheridan stepping in to don the visor in Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix, but the character never got his deserved moment in the spotlight.

A colossal fantasy flop that cost its star a decade-long run in the MCU sizes up streaming success

Every time Emily Blunt gets asked a question about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you can almost see her dying just a little bit more on the inside. If things had gone according to plan, the actress would have reported for duty in the superhero franchise over a decade ago, but the widely-panned Gulliver’s Travels got in the way.

Blunt was the first choice to play Natasha Romanoff in Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2, but due to a contractual obligation she had with 20th Century Fox, the studio essentially didn’t leave her any option but to turn down the part of Black Widow. To be fair, it’s not as if The Devils Wear Prada star has been shy about her feelings on the film she ended up making instead, with “I didn’t want to do Gulliver’s Travels” the exact words to have come out of her mouth.

A fast-rising star accused of having cinema’s worst 2022, before box office curse Margot Robbie enters the chat

The end of any year inevitably brings with it carefully-curated “Best Of” lists, but there’s also plenty of conversations to be had at the opposite end of the spectrum, too. Unfortunately, Ana de Armas found herself dragged into the dogfight over having the worst 2022 of any star in Hollywood, but her bacon may have been saved by Margot Robbie.

To be fair, de Armas’ year wasn’t an unmitigated disaster, especially when you consider she didn’t appear in a single movie that enjoyed a wide theatrical release. Erotic thriller Deep Water was delayed for for almost a year and a half before being sold off to Hulu and buried, while The Gray Man became Netflix’s biggest hit of the year, and she was about the only element of Andrew Dominik’s Blonde that managed to escape from the wreckage relatively unscathed.

The middle chapter in a trilogy that should have never been 3 movies drags its heels on streaming

From the very beginning, there was very little chance The Hobbit trilogy would come close to recapturing the magic that made Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy such a landmark achievement in cinema that will endure forever as a story for the ages, but the worst decision without a doubt was to extend the prequels to three films.

It was a call that was clearly and cynically made to extract as much money as possible from the enduring popularity of the blockbuster Middle-earth saga, and if that scans as possibly a touch too harsh, let’s not forget that The Hobbit was only announced to be a trio in July of 2012. That’s a full 16 months after shooting had started, and only five before An Unexpected Journey was due to release.

With the notable exception of Thor: The Dark World, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has very rarely been plagued by rumors of studio interference, which is incredibly ironic when you consider the accusation being leveled at James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

The filmmaker is currently splitting his time between both of Hollywood’s marquee superhero franchises, but he’ll be bidding farewell to the MCU in just a few short months when his band of cosmic misfits headline their long-awaited third movie. Several major DC projects have infamously been subject to the grubby fingerprints of executive meddling – most notably David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and Joss Whedon’s Justice League – which is something Gunn will be looking to eradicate for a more harmonious future.

‘Star Wars’ stans wonder if the panic button marked ‘Disney Plus’ could redeem Rey’s polarizing story

Perhaps unfairly, Daisy Ridley’s Rey Skywalker is often at the center of criticism about Disney’s sequel trilogy. For many Star Wars fans, she’s emblematic of the project’s flaws: the eventual reveal she’s Palpatine’s granddaughter doesn’t make sense, she’s pilloried as a Mary Sue for being naturally good at everything, and making her the embodiment of “all the Jedi” doesn’t feel earned.

Maybe this isn’t necessarily a problem with Rey herself, but with the movies she was in, and the fact that her story wasn’t planned out ahead of time. Now, fans are wondering whether there’s room for redemption with a solo show on Disney Plus:
