I mentioned in the October edition of TFINYW that the latest DCEU film, Black Adam, looked from the trailer to be a ripoff of just about every superhero movie trope in existence. What I didn't expect was that it would be so much more, in that it would also crib from non-comic properties in its … Continue reading Sham Shazam – Black Adam

This Film is Not Yet Watchable – October 2022
Throughout the course of the year, there are a ton of terrible horror movies littered about the schedule. Most of the time, you can kind of tell that it's going to be crap because if it's released by a major studio (or Blumhouse) but not in October, that's almost an admission that the movie isn't … Continue reading This Film is Not Yet Watchable – October 2022
The Rock Rolls Over – DC League of Super-Pets
I confess I didn't have high expectations for DC League of Super-Pets. In fact, I included it in this month's edition of "TFINYW" for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the fact that the Secret Life of Pets movies kind of soured me on the idea of animated movies about domesticated … Continue reading The Rock Rolls Over – DC League of Super-Pets

I love it when I get comments on the posts to respond to, or when a production company retweets or likes the links I put out on Twitter. … Continue reading This Film is Not Yet Watchable – July 2021
This Film is Not Yet Watchable – December 2019
Hooray, this shitty year is almost in the books! We've endured four god awful Disney remakes plus a sequel to a previous one! We've survived Jennifer Lopez in her natural state as a stripper! Somehow we've even made it past Donald Trump's head photoshopped onto Rocky Balboa and HIS CAMPAIGN TRYING TO SAY IT'S A … Continue reading This Film is Not Yet Watchable – December 2019
This Film is Not Yet Watchable – August 2019
Welcome once again to our monthly exercise in spewing bile on the absolute worst that movie studios have to offer. It is a noble task upon which we embark, as we declare in one unified voice (mine) that we will not flush our money down these proverbial toilets, and that we demand quality cinema as … Continue reading This Film is Not Yet Watchable – August 2019
