It felt like 1970s The Phantom Tollbooth to me. But.. that was last year and no need to keep talking about that forgettable film. Inside out 2 was great and Deadpool was really a good time at the movies.

Wish struggled (my opinion) to balance its storytelling and thematic delivery, leading to criticisms on both fronts. The film’s failure to engage through its characters and plot, combined with its overt messaging, contributed to its mixed reception. These elements combined to create a viewing...

What surprised me the most last year was MI 7. Despite great reviews from audiences and critics, and with Cruise coming off the mega-hit Maverick, I thought the movie was a great action film… but it bombed. Still scratching my head at that one. Maybe everyone went to watch Glen Powell in Maverick.

Agree and so did the audience… While addressing contemporary issues is important, audiences primarily seek entertainment from Disney movies. If the messaging overshadows the storytelling, it can detract from the overall enjoyment, leading to a perception that the film is more didactic than...

In regards to Wish, the film wasn’t interesting, and audiences agreed—hardly anyone showed up. I don’t think there was a single character in the film that the audience could identify with, aspire to be, or wanted to be with. My girls saw it once and never talked about it again. Ultimately, it...

Quality content and storytelling, strong franchises, and relatable A-list stars that both men and women can fantasize about being or being with can still attract audiences. I’m sure my wife fantasizes about being with Hugh Jackman… she bought us tickets a month ago. But that’s what cinema is all...

Awesome film!

For Twisters: “In the movie industry, the general golden rule is that a film needs to rake in about two to two-and-a-half times its budget to see any profit. With Twisters’ hefty $200 million budget, it needs to pull in around $400 - $450 million just to comfortably break even. But judging by...

https://deadline.com/2024/07/box-office-deadpool-wolverine-1236022761/ FRIDAY MIDDAY UPDATE: Deadpool & Wolverine is on its way to the biggest opening for an R-rated movie with a $55M Friday that will put it around $180M The Box Office Company reports that 43% of the weekend’s showtimes for all...

Yoda’s retreat was not a mere act of defeat but a calculated move to ensure the survival and future resurgence of the Jedi Order. Ignoring this context and subtext misses the depth of his character and the intricate narrative of the Star Wars saga.

Speaking facts Irish… what I said holds true and always has. Facts are facts.

George Lucas used Yoda’s character to impart lessons about patience, wisdom, and strategic thinking. Yoda’s retreat wasn’t driven by fear but rather by the necessity to survive and preserve the Jedi Order’s knowledge for future generations. He understood that a direct confrontation with the...

Did this look cooler in show?

House of Dragons holding its own with the fan reviews. Haven’t watched it yet but looking forward to it.

The Queens Gambit was a very good miniseries

Those two series are all time classics. Acolyte isn’t in the same universe as those two series. Maybe V: The Final Battle…. But not the first V.
