KUNG FU PANDA has no business being this good a movie. Seriously, everybody thought it was going to suck: it had all the warning signs. I think I watched this on my flight back from Hawaii, and I was mesmerized at how easily it all worked. Just goes to show, huh?

Believe it or not, I’ve never seen MR. & MRS. SMITH before. But it’s available on streaming, so I figured I’d check it out. …It is an absurd film, yes. Absurd, unbelievable, enough plot holes to drive a truck through, and I enjoyed every second of it. If you haven’t watched it, go ahead.
Come, now. We all knew this was inevitable. BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER are quantumly entangled, now. They will reference each other until the sun contracts into a red dwarf. This is… destiny.

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER IS my favorite horror movie I’ve seen this year. It’s lots of fun, but fair warning: don’t watch it if you like your vampires sexy. Or have an irrational investment in seeing characters survive horror movies. I don’t feel that I’m spoiling anything by saying that.

I’m sorry, but Renfield was fun. My kid in particular loved it, and was disappointed that more people did not. There is honestly no accounting for taste, sometimes.
I understand that some people do not like THE A-TEAM remake, and I accept that. It’s not my business, really. Realize, however, that this scene almost had me rolling on the floor of the movie theater. That has to count for something.

It’s not actually out, yet – but Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is currently at a decent pre-order price, so I’d lock that in. Great flick, by the way, if you haven’t seen it yet. Part One of two, but that’s a thing that happens because we don’t want to make four hour movies with intermissions anymore.
Just saying, that’s all.

The elder child requested GREMLINS over BLADE as part of our ongoing review of classic horror flicks. I respect his aesthetic. It’s not entirely in tune with mine, but we don’t want our children to end up carbon copies of us. There’s a lot of 80s/90s comic horror that we can go on to examine, really. BEETLEJUICE comes to mind, for example. ARMY OF DARKNESS. PLEASANTVILLE.

THE DOOM THAT CAME TO GOTHAM comes out tomorrow – on my birthday, no less! I am looking forward to it; the original graphic novel was very spiffy. I think DC’s just better at making faithful adaptations of its material than Marvel is, but that may just be my own biases talking.
