Swifties might’ve predicted the plot to Taylor Swift’s directorial debut, and it involves Ryan Reynolds

It’s a simple fact of life that you can’t inhabit the sort of space that Taylor Swift does without astronomical levels of talent and grit. Indeed, to have very quickly blossomed into perhaps the most influential singer-songwriter of the 21st century, all whilst shouldering unprecedented media pressure at such a young age, Swift’s ability demands respect from even the polar opposite of her target audience.

So it was intriguing news, to Swifties and normies alike, that the celebrated superstar would be bringing her artistic chops to the director’s chair for a feature-length film. Having masterminded many of her own music videos and being no stranger to the cinema (although, she may want to forget Cats and Amsterdam), it’s a deliciously exciting prospect.

Ryan Reynolds disagrees with one his movies being called underrated, and it’s not ‘Green Lantern’

Ryan Reynolds is honest and self-deprecating enough to admit when he’s made a huge cinematic mistake, with his decade-long trolling campaign against infamous DC disaster Green Lantern the most prominent by far. However, even the perpetually sarcastic actor and producer draws the line at Just Friends being reappraised as an unsung masterpiece.

The 2005 comedy was one of Reynolds’ first major leading roles as the first name billed in the credits of a Hollywood production, and it was a minor commercial success after bringing in almost $51 million at the box office. A 42 percent Rotten Tomatoes score isn’t great, but a surprisingly high 71 percent user rating highlights the film’s enduring status as a fan favorite.

A blockbuster saga that kept getting progressively worse barely keeps its head above the waters of hatred

There’s barely a franchise in history that hasn’t succumbed to the law of diminishing returns, but on the other side of the coin, there aren’t many that have gotten progressively worse with each passing installment – an unwanted distinction that notably befell Michael Bay’s stint at the helm of Transformers, and Disney’s once-mighty Pirates of the Caribbean.

Of course, anyone who claims that The Curse of the Black Pearl isn’t one of the most fantastically entertaining blockbusters of the 21st Century is unequivocally wrong, but mileage significantly varies from there. After scoring a robust 79 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, thinks took a critical nosedive across the next four chapters.

The problem, of course, is that the film is exclusive to Apple TV Plus, which still has a long way to go before it can justify itself as a subscription that can stand alongside the likes of Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney Plus, so a relatively small audience is, unfortunately, to be expected.

Such is the strength of the David Cronenberg brand, the filmmaker maintained his reputation as cinema’s master of body horror despite taking an absence from nightmarish transformations that spanned 23 full years between 1999’s Existenz and the recently-released Crimes of the Future.

Of course, he was kept plenty busy in the meantime exploring other creative avenues, but Existenz‘s disastrous box office performance may have soured him from returning to the well he built his reputation on, after the $15 million psychological nightmare only managed to cobble together a shade under $3 million at the global box office.

A universally-panned action thriller silences witnesses on its way to a #1 streaming spot

Bruce Willis spending the better part of a decade starring in as many VOD action thrillers as possibly made a great deal more sense when it was sadly announced the actor would be stepping away from the profession due to his aphasia diagnosis, with the Die Hard icon aiming to work as often as possible before he was forced to call it quits. The results were less than stellar, but the current performance of Wrong Place on streaming showcases that fans are still ready and willing to check out his final run of movies.

Not only is the widely-derided thriller the number one most-watched feature on Hulu in the United States, but it’s also cracked the Top 5 on ad-supported platform Freevee in the United Kingdom, as per FlixPatrol. That’s not a bad return at all for a run-of-the-mill shoot ’em up that doesn’t boast a single positive review on Rotten Tomatoes.

An unnerving horror that had viewers questioning reality blurs no lines when it comes to reputation

Advances in technology and the availability of the internet in virtually every home and mobile device means that the horror genre will never be able to truly replicate the genius of The Blair Witch Project‘s marketing campaign, which hoodwinked a whole lot of people into thinking the documentary depicted in the film was a real thing. That being said, 2018’s haunting Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made comes pretty damn close.

Existing somewhere between a gimmick and stroke of creative genius, Antrum was marketed as a cursed movie from the 1970s of which only a solitary copy remains, with a side story finding two young children heading deep into the woods to try and dig a whole straight through to hell after little Nathan refuses to accept his recently-euthanized dog has been cast into the fiery bowels of Satan’s realm.

DC fans miss the point by trying to figure out Blue Beetle’s closest Marvel counterpart

It was no question that James Gunn and Peter Safran inherited one of the most cursed franchises in the business at the moment, regarding the DC Universe being forever subject to comparisons with the markedly more successful Marvel Cinematic Universe. But especially with a tried and true comics creative in James Gunn, who brought us Peacemaker, The Suicide Squad, and The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise in the MCU, we certainly won’t be surprised if the DC Universe blossoms into a peerless branch of its own before long.

And some of those hopes are riding on Blue Beetle, the upcoming DCU film slated for next year that’s set to introduce the eponymous alien host into the franchise. It was in the works long before Gunn and Safran showed up, but perhaps it’s not too late to get a sprinkle of influence tossed into it.

‘The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’ raises an interesting question regarding Star-Lord’s Christmas spirit

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is set to be remembered fondly as a jolly little asterisk to the conclusion of Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Having served the honorable duty of making Kevin Bacon and the Go-Bots canon to the MCU, giving us a taste of Maria Bakalova’s Cosmo the Spacedog, and still somehow managing to bring a tear to one’s eye amidst all the Gunn-laced shenanigans, it had one, quaint, respectable goal, and it pulled it off perfectly.

As with every Marvel feature, questions still remain, and the biggest one of all could have far-reaching implications on our perceived scope of the MCU. Star-Lord was brought to the cosmos from Earth as a small child, and his mother may not have gotten around to telling him that Santa didn’t exist. Realizing this, the more festive side of r/marvelstudios have begun to question if Peter Quill, now a grown man (or at least a human who’s adjacent to a grown man), still believes in Santa Claus or not.

For as long as this cinematic era of franchise reboots and remakes will exist, there’s always going to be cries for more original content, itself an infinitely valid wish on many fronts, but few of them as prominent as the most enormous advantage that original content has over beloved franchises; they aren’t at risk of getting absolutely neutered by licensing issues.

And really, that was the real horror plaguing Friday the 13th, the timeless slasher franchise that spent more than its fair share of time marinating in the shadows, hoping to eventually see the light of day once Jason Voorhees overcame the mess of legal ownership surrounding him, ultimately proving to be an adversary that puts Freddy Krueger to shame.
