FW MOVIE PICK: ELEKTRA

Honestly I didn’t even think this movie would even exist at all, but considering the Marvel Anti-Heroine’s colorful history and the fact she was killed off at the end of Daredevil (2003), I guess this spin-off wouldn’t come as a surprise. Whitewashing aside, Jennifer Garner does give it her all in this role and changing […]

FW MOVIE PICK: GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE

At first glance, this looked like it was going to be the darker and gritter version of Ghost Rider we were finally going to get, but the end result is more shocking than you think! If you thought Nic Cage was insane before, you ain’t seen nothing yet with a performance so cringe-worthy, you don’t […]

FW MOVIE PICK: GHOST RIDER

Glad we finally got a fair adaptation of the Marvel Comics anti-hero in the form of the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider appearing in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! But of course the previous attempt was just to hard to ignore especially when its Nicolas Cage (known for his over the top acting). Needless to say he […]

FW MOVIE PICK: KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS

Now here’s the latest Laika stop-motion animation film that is not only the studios new magnum opus, but is the reason they chose Travis Knight to direct the long-waited Transformers Universe: Bumble Bee Movie (2018)! Having a thought-provoking and sometimes emotional story as well as fantastic visual wonder to behold, this movie fires on all […]

FW MOVIE PICK: THE BOXTROLLS

You know out of all the Laika stop-motion animation films out there, I find this offering to be somewhat of the weakest link! With the story being about a girl (Elle Fanning) discovering a boy raised by the titular characters underground being hunted is a fun enough concept all on its own as well as […]

FW MOVIE PICK: PARANORMAN

Have you ever wanted to see a more kid-friendly version of The Sixth Sense about a boy that sees dead people, well this just might be the movie for you! This movie is chock-full of horror references, in your face jokes and a sense of visual spooky fun. I’m always all for kid/teen adventure flicks, […]

FW MOVIE PICK: CORALINE

This is a film that reminds me so much of earlier spooky stop-motion classics such as The Nightmare Before Christmas! I’m not much of a Neil Gaiman expert, but I can’t really dig his dark and vivid storytelling with this picture. Thanks to the voice performance of Dakota Fanning, we are treated to the world […]

FW MOVIE PICK: BLADE TRINITY

This is the point in the Blade Trilogy where it started to become somewhat of a parody of itself. At this point Wesley Snipes seems disinterested now and the tone going into campier territory was a big mistake. We also of course have Ryan Reynold’s introduction to the Marvel Universe where even before playing Wade […]

FW MOVIE PICK: BLADE II

Arguably the stronger if still somewhat muddled second installment in the Blade Trilogy and it clearly shows! By having an interesting group of individuals (including Ron Perlman) and facing off against new breed of disturbing unstoppable vampires. Wesley Snipes still delivers the incredible action and sarcastic wit that made the Marvel character all the more […]

FW MOVIE PICK: BLADE

Wesley Snipe’s introduction in the superhero gig is an earnest with Marvel’s very first real superhero blockbuster albeit an imperfect one! Its story may be a bit lacking in consistent narrative but hey this is a 90’s Marvel flick where they weren’t quite in their peek yet. It more then makes up for style and […]
