Is Eternals the worst MCU film?
The Walt Disney Company owns the most successful film franchise in cinema history, something Warner Bros. can only dream about. There are already over 25 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a total budget of $23 billion. Its lowest-rated film, Thor: The Dark World, was released in 2013, and despite a $170 million budget, made $644.8 million. Eternals is now officially the worst Marvel film ever, thus Thor should move over.
VENKAT SAIPublished 3 years ago in GeeksReview: "No Time to Die"
This new iteration of the master spy James Bond has been a favorite among critics and fans as it has been a strong action series but also a wonderful darker tale on the character. Daniel Craig has played the character for five films now with No Time To Die and firmly placed himself as one of the best to do so. It is also crazy to think about how he is now the longest-tenured actor to play the role, spanning fifteen years. Here we are after Craig had said, "I'd rather slit my wrists than play the character again." The Bond films with Craig as the lead have often been a culture shock to the character but with No Time To Die there is more of a focus on the character rather than explosions. In a sense, it is a smaller more intimate film which makes the ending all the more impactful knowing we won't be seeing this iteration anymore. This film may have after all benefitted from a change in director from Sam Mendes to Cary Joji Fukunaga and it may have just rejuvented Daniel Craig in the role who was clearly exhausted with it after Spectre.
Nick CavuotiPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMovie Reviews: 'Eternals' Inspires Indifference
I don’t hate Eternals. I don’t love Eternals either. I’m ambivalent to Eternals which is perhaps more damning than a negative review. At least a negative review would be memorable. I’m several days from my viewing of Eternals and I am having to use spoiler websites to try and recall parts of the movie. Eternals is exceptionally competent and perhaps the best movie that could be made with this script and this cast. But still, the reaction is mostly… blah.
Sean PatrickPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMovie Review: 'Red Notice'
What a waste. Netflix spent $200 million dollars to make the new action comedy Red Notice and they might just as easily have lit $200 million dollars on fire and they would have achieved the same level of artistic success. Red Notice is a dreary throwback to bloated, excessive, action comedies of the past. This derivative and needless action comedy wastes three terrific stars who are completely on auto-pilot as they enact the same kind of humor that has drowned the American comedy throughout this young century.
Sean PatrickPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMovie Review: That Wes Anderson Magic is Back in 'The French Dispatch'
The French Dispatch is a series of quirky stories from the master of quirky stories, Wes Anderson. These stories originate from The French Dispatch, the off-shoot of a newspaper in Kansas that was specifically created and headquartered in the town of Ennui, France. If you’re wondering why a newspaper in the state of Kansas has an office in a little known city in France, perhaps the whimsy of The French Dispatch is not for you. Such questions about such things have no place in the fanciful universe of The French Dispatch.

Jisme hai dum, toh fakt Bajirao Singham. We heard these lines a decade ago with Rohit Shetty’s first police film, Singham. As it turns out, the super-cop was wrong. He isn’t the only powerful one. In 2018, he was joined by Sangram' Simmba' Bhalerao in Simmba. And now in Sooryavanshi, we get ATS chief Veer Sooryavanshi. With each film, director Rohit Shettyis building the foundation for a homegrown cop universe, modeled on the MCU. In the climax of Sooryavanshi, the three standback-to-back, raining bullets on terrorists, exactly like the Avengers had donein the first Avengers film in 2012.

I saw this movie two days ago on Netflix, and the effect it had on me still lingers on. For a two-hour movie, I had myself glued to my laptop from the beginning scene to the ending.
Gerald WashingtonPublished 3 years ago in GeeksDune: Part One
Fear is the mind-killer, in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic, Dune. After nearly a year-long delay, the highly anticipated third adaption of Frank Herbert's novel has finally been released. Dubbed as an unfilmable movie, Denis Villeneuve will awe the audience with the film's visual, making one wish to see it on the biggest screen possible in theaters. However, the audience can still watch Dune on the small screen, on HBO Max with a subscription.
Louis MihaelPublished 3 years ago in GeeksReview: "Finch"
Apple TV has had a great run as of late churning out hit after hit on the television front and lately with movies as well. Finch is the new addition to the streaming giant and features impressive visuals along with one of the greatest actors of our time in Tom Hanks. It is a tour de force by the talented actor in the hands of a lesser actor, the film would have folded upon itself. At first glance, you may think the film borrows from "I Am Legend" or "Mad Max" but it is not that kind of dire film. Instead, the focus is more on the connection that the protagonist has with his remaining family which happens to be an adorable dog and an endearing newborn robot. In a way, Finch is a bit of a fairy tale that borrows elements from Pinocchio as it is about a man whose interactions and experiences with life begin to be shared with the very robot he created to keep his beloved dog alive. As he shares his wisdom with the robot it begins to evolve into a mechanical real boy.
Nick CavuotiPublished 3 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Guide: "Nightwatching" (2007)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.
Annie KapurPublished 3 years ago in GeeksReview: "Army of Thieves"
It seems rather odd that Netflix had green-lit a cinematic universe for Zack Snyder seemingly overnight even before seeing the returns on his entry film "Army of the Dead", but here we are with a prequel entry to said universe starring the eccentric wisecracking criminal fan-favorite Dieter. Snyder stays on the film as a producer and writer but passes his director chair off to the main star of the film in Matthias Schweighofer. Army of Thieves ends up being a surprisingly fun heist film and at times more fun than its predecessor but it hides some horrible pacing issues and horribly written bland characters with a flurry of kinetic editing.
