Pixar's Lightyear, contains everything fans have come to know about this beloved character, with a twist. Buzz is no longer voiced by Tim Allen and instead is replaced with Avengers star, Chris Evans. The reason behind this decision was because this film isn't about the action figure from Toy Story, but rather it's about the movie that the toy was based on -- essentially a movie within a movie.
DARKNESS. NO PARENTS!
Brooding, dark, compelling, dense, atmospheric. Everything a Batman film should be.
I want to discuss the three things I wanted from this film and the four that we got.
1) I wanted a detective...
The Jurassic World franchise is known for dinosaurs; that’s what sets it apart from other blockbuster flicks. Fallen Kingdom ends with the perfect set up for Dominion. Dino’s reach the mainland and humanity must learn to survive and coexist with these prehistoric animals.
Under the lens takes a deep look at films by focusing in on one or two particular areas of the picture that helped to define it for better or for worse.
The Old Man is a 2022...
Men is a folk horror film, written and directed by Oscar nominated auteur, Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation.) The film follows a woman, played by Jessie Buckley, who takes a much needed vacation in a countryside cottage after a traumatic event. Her seemingly peaceful stay quickly becomes a living nightmare as she is haunted by what she fears the most.
Halo is a video game franchise that holds near and dear to my heart. When I first saw the announcement of a live-action series during E3 2013, my excitement levels reached to the stars. Legendary filmmaker, Steven Spielberg, was originally set to be the showrunner. With his longtime experience in the sci-fi and action genres, there was nothing more a Halo fan could ask for. Knowing that one of the greatest filmmakers was helming a live-action adaptation of a beloved gaming franchise was reassuring. Unfortunately, those plans did not last long, as the show went through many years of development hell. It seemed like the show was dead in the water, until Showtime and Paramount partnered to produce it. Nearly nine years later the “global hit” show released its first season, but at what cost? Was it worth finishing this fight?
