Marvel Studios had quite a showing at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, revealing their cramped release schedule all the way to 2025. While some of their trailer reveals were kept behind closed doors and shown exclusively to those in attendance (conventions have long loved doing that), they did release a tease for one of their … Continue reading
REVIEW: “Nope” (2022)
Few filmmakers have been greeted with as much fanfare as Jordan Peele. His directorial debut, 2017’s “Get Out”, has been universally lauded despite its noticeable first-feature blemishes.

A few days later, Paramount gave us the first full trailer for this creepy looking horror movie from writer-director Parker Finn. This is the feature film debut for Finn who is adapting his own 2020 film short titled “Laura Hasn’t … Continue reading
