Let’s get this out of the way: I don’t think Tenet will be the savior of the cinema-going experience. But it makes for a good time at the theater. Especially if you see it in IMAX. The Christopher Nolan Cinematic Universe is not a thing, yet Tenet feels like it belongs in the same world […]
I have finally watched Christopher Nolan’s first film, Following. So now you may refer to me as a Nolan completest, by I wouldn’t go so far as to use the term “fanboy.” I like all of his movies — to varying degrees — but he isn’t infallible. Following is a low budget movie, shot in […]
Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I am not a Christopher Nolan fanboy. I have seen all of his films, save Following. I like them — some more than others. I always look forward to his next project. I wanted to love Dunkirk, but I only liked it. It’s probably me. No wait… It […]
Batman & Robin effectively killed the comic movie genre. for a while. It took X-Men and Spider-Man to bring it back. Bryan Singer’s first two X-Men films proved that superhero films didn’t need flashy, colorful costumes and over the top villains to work. What you really needed was a great story and characters. If the […]
I have been told one thing you learn in Storytelling 101 is: The better the villain, the better the story. The Greeks knew it. Shakespeare and Dickens knew it. Hitchcock knew it. And arguably, no one knows this more than comic book writers and artists. One would think that when it came time to turn […]

Prof. Brand concocted two plans to save the human race: Plan A consists of building space stations capable of transporting people to whichever planet is deemed […]
A lot has been writen about Interstellar over the past week or so; some of it good some of it bad. So, what is the film really about? That question is probably best left to those far smarter than myself, but that has never stopped me before. Remember, this is just opinion–I could be wrong. […]
Interstellar is a devisive film; that is if you pay any attention to the Internet, which I don’t recommend if you value your sanity. There is a reason why some people never click the “comments” button. For the most part, the critical respose has been positive, while the general public seems equally divided into what […]
The battle for top movie of the weekend is between Interstellar and Big Hero 6. No matter which one “wins,” I am positive far too much will be made of the result. If Interstellar makes the most money, it will be a triumph for original (non-sequal/non-tentpole) films. If Big Hero 6 is number one, it […]
