Aquaman 2: Dolph Lundgren Says James Wan Will Blow Fans Away
Dolph Lundgren has some high praise for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, stating he believes director James Wan is going to blow fans away. Set to arrive four years after the first movie, Aquaman 2 will see the highly anticipated return of Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry in a brand new adventure. The first Aquaman was a box office smash, grossing over $1.1 billion worldwide. Development on the sequel began soon after, but it took a bit longer than expected to move into production. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is currently scheduled for release in December 2022; filming began in London this past summer.

No Way Home Risks Ruining Spider-Man 2’s Perfect Ending For Doctor Octopus
Spider-Man: No Way Home brings Alfred Molina's Doc Ock into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will retroactively ruin Spider-Man 2. No Way Home is letting all the past Spider-Man films collide. The first trailer for the film showed Peter Parker (Tom Holland) going to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) after the world learns that he's secretly Spider-Man. Doctor Strange wants to help and attempts a dangerous memory wipe spell to reverse the situation. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Doctor Strange's enchantment goes awry after Parker meddles with the spell, and past Spider-Man villains, such as Alfred Molina's Doc Ock, are free to cause chaos in the MCU.

Green Goblin Should Be The Main Villain In Spider-Man: No Way Home
The Green Goblin will enter the MCU in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he should be the main villain. Villains from the Sam Raimi and Marc Webb Spider-Man film franchises will face off against Tom Holland’s iteration of the web-slinger, and, if rumors prove true, the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield versions of Peter Parker as well. No Way Home’s trailers have revealed five villains so far, but the inclusion of Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, is particularly ominous for the MCU’s Spider-Man, given the villain’s comic and cinematic history.

Classic Movie Review: 'The Duellists' Ridley Scott's First Feature Film
Without knowing it, director Ridley Scott broke through in Hollywood in 1978 by exploring and critiquing what we would today call, Toxic Masculinity. Scott’s first feature, The Duellists was intended as an examination of obsession, honor and tradition. What it also ended up achieving was an examination of the nature of masculine ideals, the notion of how personal honor was a code for protecting an ego driven perception of self, especially when that perception is challenged by the 'honor' of another.

Did You Know Jeremy Renner Told Marvel To Recast His Hawkeye Role?
The Thanksgiving weekend saw the premiere of the first two episodes of Hawkeye on Disney+. Jeremy Renner takes on the role of the man with bow and arrow for the sixth time, a decade after Thor, The Avengers, Age of Ultron, Civil War and Endgame. The series not only confronts him with his own Ronin past, but also unites him with Kate Bishop, played by Hailee Seinfeld, whom he trains to become the next Hawkeye. Being a part of the Avengers is probably the role that Renner is most associated with, but a few years back it was quite likely that Marvel would stop working with him and recast the role of Hawkeye. Twice!

Movie Review: 'Titane' is Weird and Enthralling
Director Julia Ducournau is among the most challenging and unique filmmakers in the world. Her work on 2016’s Raw was deeply unsettling and yet entirely engrossing. The same could be said of the director’s new film, Titane, a film that matches Raw for every unsettling beat and perhaps out does Raw for outlandishness. Does that mean that Titane is entirely successful? Perhaps not, but it is undeniably memorable and teeming with ingenuity, dark wit, and bizarre insight into humanity and our desire to connect.

At the Cinemas: Nov '21
Shall we go to the pictures? - Me, all the time. Okay, with my accent, that word comes out as 'pick-chas' instead, but it's all the same. I'm trying to start off this thing where I tell you at the end of each month or so what I have watched in the cinema and give you a quick run-down of what I think of it. I'll trial it for this month and see how it goes - we will be back in January for the next one if it goes well enough and I get a generally good response. (If you want to respond, then please contact me via @annieapproximately on Instagram. And please actually drop the message, don't just say 'hi' and expect me to respond, it comes across quite weird and I get a ton of messages so you'll probably get lost in the blur if you do that).

Documentary Review: 'Adrienne' is a Cathartic and Heartfelt tribute to Adrienne Shelly
One of the darkest days of my career happened on November 1st, 2006 and I didn’t even know it at the time. That was the day that actress turned director Adrienne Shelly was murdered in her office in New York City. I was aware of Adrienne Shelly but I had not yet seen her masterpiece, Waitress. Once I saw Shelly’s extraordinary film, and named it among my favorite movies of 2007, I was both deeply moved and desperately distraught over her loss and the loss of the incredible works of art she undoubtedly would have created in the future. The new documentary, Adrienne, was a cathartic experience for me as an admirer of Adrienne Shelly the artist and the human being.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "Blanche" (1971)
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.
