    Shazam! (2019) – Film Review – “Lightning In A Bottle”

    See, this is what should be happening more among the DC line-up: Having fun, and experimenting with, properties and titles.

    Shazam! wasn't really top-tier, to anyone who hadn’t heard of him before the hype-train started rolling for this film…all the way back when Dwayne Johnson—of course—was slated to play the titular hero. Like Marvel, DC has their backroom lounge selection of heroes and villains (and, to be quite honest, I really wanna see Condiment King on the silver screen, now!!), but that works in their favor, with this one. Director David F. Sandberg’s strength isn’t with horror—never saw Annabelle, but the feature-length iteration of Lights Out was pretty trash—it’s grounded in emotional character pieces, weaving entertaining stories that also hit us in the feels.

    Captain Marvel (2019) – Film Review – “The Heroine We Need RN”

    Feeling a tad rusty, here…

    I guess the best way to start off (if you couldn’t tell by the title) is to say…I liked this film. Yea, usually that’s something one says at the end of a text, but you’re here for the meat of the matter—the why, the what.

    From the trailers, Captain Marvel seemed the bog-standard superhero origin story we’re used to in the MCU. I also got the sense that the title character, herself, would be very dull, over-powered, generally-uninteresting. But this statement above all else, folks, is why we must see movies for ourselves; if we went by trailers, or what other critics have to say, the film industry would have gone belly-up a long time ago.
