Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer The rise of “woke” politics will cause the increasingly fiery conflict between left and right-wingers to escalate in the United States. Despite starting off as a political term referring to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social and racial justice, the definition of woke has expanded. Nowadays, it essentially means that these […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer With the release of the first “Fast & Furious” spinoff: “Hobbs & Shaw”, I was able to appreciate the evolution of the franchise from it’s earlier entries, which focused more on the underground racing scene and how natural it felt for it to transition to more heists and spy tactics; all […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer If I’m being honest, I would probably consider “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” to Quentin Tarantino “worst” film to date. Even if it’s not top-tier Tarantino, it’s still has too many positives coming from Tarantino’s signature style of directing that I would still recommend Tarantino fans and those who want […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer I’d like to ask for a retraction of a review please. Last year, I harshly judged the film “Venom” for its perceived task of accomplishing what Sony Pictures will to steal the Spider-Man character Marvel has developed over the last three years, and place him into their developing “Venomverse” with Marvel […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer “Toy Story 4” is an oddball of a film. While it is a great film in its own right and a worthy addition to the franchise, the possible concluding chapter feels less like a definitive ending and more like an epilogue to the original trilogy. One that specifically focuses on Woody […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer It’s a bummer to say that despite running for twice as long as the MCU, the “X-Men” franchise not only has about half of the amount of films under its belt, but about a good half of them are pretty mediocre to just downright awful. And with the film unwillingly becoming […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer Despite being the 35th film to feature arguably the most famous movie monster of all-time, “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” is actually the third film in Warner Bros. In the monster verse cinematic universe,”Godzilla” is related to both the 2014 reboot of Godzilla and 2017’s King Kong reimagining “Kong: Skull Island.” […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer Thinking of how small and independent the “John Wick” films started off as, it’s incredible to see how much it upgraded to summer blockbuster status in just three films. The creative talents of director Chad Stahelski and writer Derek Kolstad have created a world of underground crime and assassins so dense […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer The Pokémon franchise has always been one of Nintendo’s greatest hits, by guaranteeing quality in all aspects of the franchise, especially for fans who grew up with it. While films based on Pokémon have hit theaters before, none were in live action. And the result, while somewhat average for regular pictures, […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer Last year after seeing “Infinity War” I crowned it in my review as not only the best Marvel Cinematic Universe film to date but also the best superhero film with the only film in the near future to top it being this film (or as it was known at the time […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer Guillermo del Toro’s two Hellboy films from 2004 and 2008 feel like they were made too early. It was not often in a pre-Marvel Cinematic Universe landscape for a director with the artistic level as del Toro to adapt a comic book to screen, let alone one as somewhat obscure as Hellboy, […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer “Shazam’s” titular hero is actually the first superhero to ever make it to the big screen. Way back in 1941, Shazam – or Captain Marvel, as he was known at the time – got a dedicated film serial of his own before the likes of Batman, Captain America and even Superman got […]
