Movie Review: SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Director: Jon WattsStarring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jamie Foxx, Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Benedict Wong, Tony Revolori Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is back, and I’m here to say that Spider-Man: No Way Home is the best Spider-Man film to date. There’s no wasting time for director Jon Watts and his writing team of Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna. It picks up moments after the events of the second film Far From Home as Spider-Man’s real identity is revealed to be of the teenage Peter Parker. His life is forever changed as now all eyesRead More →

Movie Trailer: SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Director: Jon WattsStarring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalan, J.K. Simmons, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Benedict Wong, Alfred Molina The highly anticipated teaser trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home premiered last night at CinemaCon in Vegas. This came after someone behind the scences leaked a very rough looking version of it on TikTok causing Film Twitter to lose their minds. The third official Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland looks to be the biggest one of the three following Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Here’s what we know so far. Spider-Man’s identity has been revealed as Peter Parker causingRead More →

Movie Review: THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND

THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND Director: Judd ApatowStarring: Pete Davidson, Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Maude Apatow, Steve Buscemi, Bel Powley Pete Davidson is best known for his work on Saturday Night Live or for maybe his infamous relationships. He’s front and center for the personal film The King of Staten Island. Early on in the film, Pete’s character Scott says “There’s something wrong with me. Mentally.” Scott’s the kind of guy who’s in his early ‘20s and still lives at home smoking pot in his basement with his friends. We learn that when Scott was young his dad tragically died in the line of dutyRead More →

Movie Trailer: SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Director: Jon WattsStarring: Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Tony Revolori, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Remi Hii, Cobie Smulders  Good news Marvel fans! Marvel and Sony Pictures Entertainment dropped the trailer for the next Spidey adventure Spider-Man: Far From Home. The bar is pretty high right now given how well the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse has done with audiences and critics. Tom Holland is back as Peter Parker who’s European vacation seems to be cut short upon the arrival of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. The grand villain this go-around is Mysterio played by JakeRead More →

Movie Review: SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Director: Jon Watts Starring: Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Abraham Attah, Hannibal Buress If you think three different iterations of Spider-Man within a ten-year period were too many, you may be right. I present to you Spider-Man: Homecoming, which may change your mind a bit after the disappointing Amazing Spider-Man movies. We were first introduced to actor Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man last year in Captain America: Civil War. Homecoming opens in the aftermath of the first Avengers movie with Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes collecting various alien debrisRead More →

Movie Review: THE BIG SHORT

THE BIG SHORT Director: Adam McKay Starring: Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, Hamish Linklater, Jeremy Strong, Finn Wittrock, John Magaro, Marisa Tomei, Rafe Spall If you saw The Wolf of Wall Street, it gave a heavy, behind the scenes look at a horrible stockbroker that stole money from innocent people to rake in the profits. The Big Short tackles the banking industry and will further cement those awful hidden truths of the industry except with 90% less profanity. 2008 saw the largest financial crisis that shook the lives of millions of Americans. It crashed the housing market and pummeled big banks asRead More →
