X-Men: Dark Phoenix brings the X-Men saga to a conclusion after 19 years and 12 movies under the 20th Century Fox banner, as it gets absorbed into the Marvel canon behemoth, as has also happened to the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man… well, Spidey seems to be in AND out, since he appeared to have gone […]

No Comments » X-Men: Dark Phoenix is not too bad… not too bad at all. I did fear that all the best bits from the movie were in the trailer, but there’s plenty more in store to be quite enjoyable here. Some good battle scenes and emotional disagreements going on that don’t feel too contrived and fit the […]

Dark Phoenix now has a ‘Final’ trailer and… since seeing Trailer No.2, last time, and after watching X-Men: Apocalypse again last weekend on Channel 4, this new film just looks sooooooooooo familiar. Have they actually done anything new? Just a case of blowing everything up, and then you know they’ll be fine afterwards by the […]

This trailer looks quite a silly thriller, which marks a departure for MF’s usual […]
Alien Covenant could just really be called Covenant, since that’s the name of the spaceship in this movie, like the previous one’s Prometheus… which was just called Prometheus, and not Alien Prometheus… not that it particularly matters because in this eighth (by my count) xenomorph-based movie, it delivers a lot of the sort of thing […]

And now there’s a brand new trailer, although […]
Song To Song is a Ryan Gosling movie with more singing, but how will it compare to La La Land? Written and directed by Terrence Malick, it tells the tale of two intersecting love triangles, with obsession and betrayal set against the music scene in Austin, Texas. Little else is known just yet, but there’s […]
