You'll Never Believe What Amazon's 'Lord of the Rings' Series Is Going To Focus On

Culture SlatePublished 2 years ago in GeeksMovie Review: 'Marry Me' is Romantic Comedy Done Right
I went into the new romantic comedy Marry Me, starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson, with the expectation of hating the movie. It was a feeling that was not unfair given the track record that Jennifer Lopez has in terrible romantic comedies. Lopez has been party to the decline of the rom-com genre over the last two decades by churning out one horrific example of the genre after another. Movies like 2001’s dreary The Wedding Planner, the abysmal, unwatchable failure that was Gigli, the gag inducing comedy The Back Up Plan, and 2018's regrettable Second Act, in my mind, perfectly justify my expectation to hate Marry Me.
Sean PatrickPublished 2 years ago in GeeksWhy I Am Fine With Wordle
Wordle I have been avoiding Wordle for the same reason I avoided Led Zeppelin as a teenager, everybody was into them and I just didn’t want to be another face in the crowd.

Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 2 years ago in GeeksWhich Director Understood Batman?
Batman is one of the best characters in fiction. Not just comic books. Fiction; a tragic figure with identity issues, post-traumatic stress, perhaps sociopathy. Batman’s popularity has outlasted most of the heroes that debuted in his day because you can take him, drop him on an alien planet and he’d still be Batman. At first, he was a pulp hero; a crazy masked guy with a gun. This was wisely retconned, making Batman more layered, the reason he’s one of the most popular comic characters ever. But what makes Batman…Batman? The costume, Bruce Wayne’s handsome billionaire playboy persona, martial arts expertise; a man in peak physical condition who’s also a genius. He fights extravagant psychotic villains. He has complicated relationships with his butler/father figure, Alfred, and his surrogate Bat Family. He has a strict moral code, refusing to murder even the most violent criminals, and finally his compassion, the core of Batman. I’ve obsessed over him my whole life. I’m not exaggerating. It’s bad.

Moonfall stars the charisma vacuum that is Patrick Wilson, continuing in his astonishing magic trick, fooling the world into seeing him as a movie star. Wilson plays a NASA astronaut, Brian, who, while debating the lyrics of the song Africa by Toto, because random counts as a personality in a movie like Moonfall, sees a massive alien destroy the satellite he’s working on, killing a fellow astronaut.
