Synopsis – A holiday romantic comedy that captures the range of emotions tied to wanting your family’s acceptance, being true to yourself, and trying not to ruin Christmas. My Take – On a general notion I tend to usually avoid Christmas themed films, not that I got anything against them or anyone who gobbles them wholeheartedly, but mainly because they all tend to go a … Continue reading Happiest Season (2020) Review!!

Synopsis – A mother gives her 13-year-old son a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature. My Take – I have never been a fan of remakes, mainly as they feel like a studio’s desperate attempt to use nostalgia to breathe life into a long dead franchise, all with a clear cash grab agenda in mind. However over the years I … Continue reading Child’s Play (2019) Review!!!

Marketing! Who can tell what is good or bad anymore, truly. Is it a good idea to reveal Sonic the Hedgehog has horrific baby human teeth to the sound of Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise”?

These … Continue reading ‘Child’s Play’: New Poster Murders Woody from ‘Toy Story’!! Check It Out!!

They did it. The madmen really did it. MGM went and made the Child’s Play reboot something I might support by adding Mark Hamill as the new voice of Chucky, the homicidal doll.

Noah Hawley‘s adaptation of the Legion comics for FX (which feels very far from any other comic book adaptations on TV these days) was one of the most visually astonishing series of 2017. But perhaps the most unexpected thing about it was how much it leaned into horror. It wasn’t as oddly bone-chilling as something like Twin Peaks: The Return in its darkest moments, but … Continue reading ‘Legion’ Season 2 Promos Tease More Mind-Bending Madness!! Check It Out!!
Last year, Noah Hawley introduced us to a new kind of superhero in FX’s Legion. While David Haller (Dan Stevens) is technically (per the comics) the son of Professor Xavier, Legion in no way seems connected to any X-Men universe we know in television or movies so far. There’s also a possibility that in Season 2 the show may introduce someone else as David’s father, … Continue reading ‘Legion’ Season 2 Premiere Date Set for Spring!!!

There have been many questions about FX’s upcoming series Legion, which is an X-Men TV series from Fargo creator/showrunner Noah Hawley—except that it’s also kind of not. As opposed to Marvel’s Netflix shows, which very explicitly take place within the MCU and carry a similar tone and aesthetic, Legion is a wholly separate thing that was borne out of pure creativity from Hawley. He hatched the … Continue reading ‘Legion’ Will Not Take Place in the ‘X-Men’ Cinematic Universe!!!

There’s no shortage of superhero entertainment these days, especially on TV, but if there’s one newcomer I’m truly excited about, it’s Noah Hawley‘s mutant mind-bender, Legion. The far-out looking X-Men semi-spinoff comes from the visionary creator of the FX series Fargo, and centers on the mutant David Haller, a tremendously powerful mutant who’s also might just be completely crazy. Hawley seems to be leaning into all the visual and … Continue reading ‘Legion’: FX Confirms Early 2017 Release Date with a Crazy Awesome New Teaser!! Check It Out!!
Back in June, Legion showrunner Noah Hawley (who also helms FX’s Fargo series) commented that his series — which focuses on the son of Charles Xavier, David Haller, who has extraordinary abilities he has trouble controlling — would not necessarily connect to the larger X-Men universe. Now, X-Men director/writer/producer Bryan Singer (who is also an EP for Legion) is saying that it will. At the … Continue reading Bryan Singer Says ‘Legion’ Will Connect to the ‘X-Men’ Movies After All!!
FX has unveiled the first official trailer for the highly anticipated psychological thriller series Legion.

Synopsis – Unrequited love motivates a guy to write about his experiences. My Take – Romcoms are most of the time predictable or filled with cliches, and I don’t hold it against them if they do. Rather I’d applaud them if they break that mold. All a good romcom has to do is build likable characters that we may reflect ourselves in, and then lead … Continue reading Playing It Cool (2014) Review!!
