Why The SnyderVerse's Popularity is WBD's Best Solution!
The release of Zack Snyder's Justice League on digital platforms after its debut as an HBO Max streaming exclusive shows that there is still an appetite for the DCEU and WBD's best solution to their problems. The Snyder Cut and the concept of the SnyderVerse is one of the most demanding requests by fans for the future of the DCEU. Although the first film in the DCEU was Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, it was the release of the Snyder Cut, the latest film in a franchise that former WB executives believed was a box office failure only to become a global phenomenon.

Remember, Remember . . . V for Vendetta
I aim to write this more about the movie than the comics as I feel the movie has a wider audience, but this by no means discounts the incredible writing of the comics (obviously). I will be leaning into the comics here and there as well, of course, as it is the foundation to this entire diatribe I am about to explore.

The One 'Predator' Movie We Haven't Seen But Need
Prey, the latest chapter in the Predator franchise, has given audiences a glimpse at what is presumably the alien species' first hunt on Earth. Exceptions within the expanded universe exist, ones that tell of the Yautja visiting Egyptians and the Aztecs. However, those missions seem geared towards battlegrounds for their endless rivalry with the Xenomorphs.

When Were the Teens Really Teens?
Co-written by Deb Gilbert When Olivia Newton John died this week at the age of 73, some quick math revealed something that was already apparent at the time: When the singer and actress filmed the classic musical film "Grease," released in 1978, she was already a solid decade past her high school years. This has not been uncommon in films, when teenagers rarely look or sound like the teens you know or see every day. But sometimes the age difference is more glaring, and other times the teens are actually teens. Let's take a look at examples supposed teens in teen roles over the years and see how some of the age differences are shocking to the point of absurd.

Time is Luck: 'Heat' and the Darkness of Filmmaking
Michael Mann is not only a celebrated writer/director, television producer, and the reason we all love Phil Collins (Thank you for that, by the way), he’s also an author. He’s written a sequel to his magnum opus, Heat. It’s called Heat 2, which is kind of awesome. If someone says, “Hey. I haven’t read the first one,” you can say, “You don’t have to read it, fam. You have to watch it.” Then that person would definitely look at you like you’re crazy then you’d have to explain the following: Heat is a crime thriller written and directed by the guy who gave us the living embodiment of the 80s, Miami Vice (and the amazing movie adaptation).

Lessons From Turkish Drama
May I Never Be At The Mercy Of My Enemy In My Time Of Dire Need Or Trouble - Quote by Author This quote rings true in the Turkish drama series Kiralik Ask (Love For Rent). Sometimes, in our bid to solve pressing problems or get out of troubling circumstances, we fall into the hands of opportunists who capitalize on our dire situations. This was what befell Defne Topal, the female protagonist in this series. In an attempt to rescue her brother from harm, she accepts a dubious offer that ends up complicating her life.

Movie Review: 'Spin Me Round' Fails Aubrey Plaza and Allison Brie
Spin Me Round is a bizarre movie. The comedy starring the lovely Allison Brie and the brilliant Aubrey Plaza has a ridiculous amount of promise and falls short. The idea behind the narrative is a good one, and with Brie and Plaza, along with supporting ringers such as Tim Heidecker and Molly Shannon, Spin Me Round should have been a no-brainer indie comedy sensation. Instead, director Jeff Baena throws in one twist too many and leaves one MAJOR plot thread dangling, leaving Spin Me Round to spin its wheels.

The Gray Man and Brad Pitt Train Fight
I’m pretty sure I saw the trailer to Brad Pitt Train Fight aka Bullet Train every single time that I’ve been to the movies this year. And when I finally saw it last week I got there early and the pre-show had no less than 3 previews for Bullet Train, the movie I was about to watch, including the full trailer once again. So I don’t think I was into the movie as much as I wanted to be because I felt like the trailer, like most trailers, showed a bit too much. Which is why I usually don’t watch trailers, but this one was just unavoidable. I had fun, but I think I actually enjoyed the movie more on my second watch, that could also be because I had seen Netflix's The Gray Man in between.

Where did the Story of Anakin Go Wrong?
I watched “Revenge of the Sith” again. Overall it has some of my favorite bits in the films, but it’s flawed. The whole Anakin/Padme thing needed improvement. Basically a lot of Anakin's development could have been better.

5 Sci-Fi movies that surprised us with their incredible plot twists
5 movies with great script twists in science fiction There are certainly many ways to catch the audience's attention when it comes to making a movie or a series. Normally, that a plot catches you by how well it is realized or how well tied its relationships are can be determinant to mark an entire community, being the science fiction genre one that tends to get it quite often. You have to think that it is a reinvention of the reality we know or a creation of new universes, so it ends up being the most striking way to escape.
