This makes the 126th film this year that Dwayne Johnson has been in, although I think my math be a little off. Yes, the Rock is back–again–as an action hero–again–saving an incredibly tall building from some bad guys. Oh, but THIS time, he’s sporting an artificial right leg. Well, at least THAT’S different! Say hello…
It sounds like a old 50’s title, like The Incredible 50ft Woman or Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter, but it’s not! It’s a sequel to 2015’s highly successful Ant-Man that entered the MCU with a bang. This movie is set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. * Who knew…

What if… the criminal-only Hotel Continental from the movie John Wick had its own criminal-only hospital? Would that hospital even be in the same universe as Mr. Wick and his friends? Hmmmm… well, here’s a movie that answers that question! * It’s Los Angeles in 2048 and the city is in a state of full-scale…
As Annie Oakley sang in Annie Get Your Gun, “Anything you can do, I can do better!”. From the all-female tragic reboot of Ghostbusters, to the upcoming wave of other female-centric remakes & reboots coming up, this one had the blessing of Ocean’s 11-13 director/producer, Steven Soderbergh. * * Starting off with an homage to…
