Spider-Man is one of the most popular superheroes in the world, across any franchise. In fact, by some metrics (like total comic book sales) skinny, little Peter Parker can stand toe-to-toe with the Batmans and the Supermans of the world when it comes to overall popularity, if not outright beat them. And Spider-Man has maintained […]
As crazy as it is to think about in 2024, there was a period of time where superhero movies weren’t a dime a dozen. And while superhero movies are becoming increasingly risky ventures these days, it still clearly doesn’t take much to get any comic book movie greenlit these days. That wasn’t really the case in […]
On Wednesday, our humble outlet produced a story covering the announcement for a somewhat surprising fifth movie in the Matrix media franchise. It was, by all accounts, a straightforward story about how it’s both surprising (due to the lackluster performance of the fourth Matrix movie) and unsurprising (due to Hollywood’s infatuation with sequels and “cinematic […]
For many of President Ronald Reagan’s biggest fans, it’s likely no surprise that the upcoming “Reagan” biopic — the first-ever feature length film about the beloved Republican president — has been stuck in development for well over a decade. You don’t see too many films that paint conservative politicians in a positive light, let alone […]
It’s no secret: Hollywood’s liberal leanings have dominated most of the storytelling to come out of the mainstream U.S. movie and television industry.

Hardcore Marvel fans have been waiting for quite some time to see a new cinematic version of the Silver Surfer. The character is considered by many Marvel fanatics the quintessential cosmic (i.e. space-faring) Marvel hero. As such, the character has remained highly popular ever since his 1966 debut in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s “Fantastic […]
Anyone old enough to remember “Ishtar?” For years, the Elaine May written-and-directed 1987 action-comedy starring Dustin Hoffman, Warren Beatty and Charles Grodin was a byword for a flop caused by spending gone amok.

It makes no sense whatsoever for something to be both totally predictable and completely surprising, but leave it to the convoluted Matrix franchise to pull it off.

While perhaps not a “superhero” film per se, the 2019 hit “Joker” was a shockingly fresh breath of air in the genre.
