Marvel's Black Widow
Black Widow Movie Review After more than a year-long delay, Disney and Marvel Studios finally released the highly anticipated and long overdue solo superhero movie, Black Widow. Scarlett Johansson reprised her role as Natasha Romanoff, a former KGB spy and assassin turned Avenger, after appearing in the MCU in supporting roles for a decade. This solo movie explores the character of Black Widow's shadowy and troubled past and fills in the gaps of her whereabouts between the event of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.

FX'S Archer, A Live-Action Feature Length Movie
In the realm of fantasy movie releases, there are far too many possibilities to cover in just one writing session. We could go on and on about a remake of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, a reboot of Miami Vice, and what will no doubt be even more Star Wars films by Disney. Hollywood has little imagination left and has been forced to rely on Disney pulling from comic book franchises and studios that keep rehashing old material. This idea, however, would prove to be as funny a spoof movie as I've ever seen.

Movie Review: 'Pig' Starring Nicolas Cage
Pig is a very simple movie about loving something more than you love yourself. While it can be hard to take Nicolas Cage seriously these days given his full transformation into a meme in human form Pig shows that there are still times when the actor emerges from the shadow of the icon. Pig is a great example of Nicolas Cage the actor emerging and showing the delicacy and talent that is so often forgotten behind the bugged intensity and meme-worthy posing.

Scarlett's web: "Black Widow" delivers semi-venomous bite
I love Scarlett Johansson, and as a heterosexual male, I'm confident that I always will. Nonetheless, it's the YA fiction author in me that made me yearn for more of a storyline in the celebrity's stand-alone super-SHEro film.

Review: "Black Widow"
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has finally re-arrived to movie theaters around the globe with the super spy thriller, Black Widow. Natasha Romanoff's solo outing comes at a weird time as fans already know when her time is up, robbing fans of any kind of worry of losing her over the course of this film. However, it does flesh her character out a bit more while introducing new characters and answers the age old question of what happened in Budapest. It has a similar feel to that of Captain America: The Winter Soldier but unlike that film it doesn't have the same stakes, Black Widow by comparison feels smaller and more focused on Natasha and her adoptive family. It is hard not to feel or think that this film took too long to happen but at it's core it is still a solid action film by it's own merit.

Has the Space Age Returned to Hollywood Once Again?
‘Space, the final frontier’ were iconic words spoken by Captain Kirk back in 1966, and still hold true today as human beings continue to look for life beyond Earth. The wonders and perils of space travel has always captured our imaginations, be it through the works of Jules Verne and HG Wells, the stories and mysteries surrounding the space race, or through the visual spectacle of cinema. Ever since Georges Méliès’ Le Voyage dans la Lune brought space exploration to life on celluloid, films and shows set in outer space have become crowd-pleasers.

How ‘Aladdin’ Embraces Shakespearean Archetypes
I have been thinking about the ‘Aladdin’ remake ever since my sister dragged me to see it when it released this summer. I wasn’t expecting to like ‘Aladdin’—the film had seemingly been in production for over two years, and it had courted plenty of controversy on its way to the big screen. The cast were unfamiliar, and the reviews were already scathing. People were especially hung up on how Will Smith couldn’t replace the late, great, Robin Williams as the Genie.
