It's only fitting that with the darkness of 2020 beginning to fade, our savior, Nicolas Cage, delivers yet another cinematic miracle, bringing promises of peace and hope for 2021. Loved and hated equally, Cage is an undeniable rarity in the acting world, with his prolific filmography ranging from highbrow academy fodder to trashterpiece classics of the highest order. His latest, director Kevin Lewis' Willy's Wonderland, is sly refutation of 80's American values that masquerades as an absolutely bonkers cult film destined for classic status. Featuring yet another unforgettably insane performance from Cage, dirty toilet visuals, and a chillingly familiar premise, this is a film that is emblematic of why popcorn flicks are held in such high regard.

Now, four years on from the last release in the Alien film franchise Disney has unleashed a new story set in the Alien universe courtesy of Marvel Comics. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by Salvador Larroca, Alien #1 sets the stage for a new, mostly standalone, nightmare for fans to sink their teeth into. Alien #1 centers on Gabriel Cruz, a former mercenary for Weyland-Yutani, the interplanetary mega-corporation at the center of the Alien franchise, who has worked his way up in the company, albeit at the expense of his relationship with his friends and family back on Earth.

Most viewers/listeners will remember heavy-metal guitarist Chris Holmes from the second installment of Penelope Spheeris’ legendary music documentary series The Decline of Western Civilization. Featuring a notorious episode with the former lead W.A.S.P. guitarist splayed out fully clothed on an inflatable chair before his mother in the swimming pool in a drunken stupor as he pours bottles of vodka down his throat. The scene people remember over others in the film represents a moment cloaked in heavy metal rock music urban legend mystique with many calling bluff to an “act” while others say he really was downing booze like no tomorrow. It spoke heavily to Chris Holmes’ own struggles with addiction and in a telling scene of Holmes rewatching the scene years later we s

A staple of the gangster film is the undoing of empires. It is almost impossible to think of an example in which things work out for the players within an organized crime syndicate, and yet the genre continues to flourish with films being released each year that highlight the rise and inevitable fall of sympathetic, yet dangerous sociopaths. Why? Because the civilized world is fascinated with the dark side, the underworld where there are no constraints. John Mackenzie's uncompromising masterwork, The Long Good Friday was one of the first evolutions of the genre. Rather than build towards the end, things begin in the middle of Armageddon. Harold Shand's criminal empire is evaporating around him while he is simultaneously attempting to go

images courtesy NetflixIt is fitting that a world ravaging pandemic would have the ability to transform a man from wanting to adapt The Fountainheadinto directing the most thoughtful zombie film since Dawn of the Dead. Undeniably divisive, Zack Snyder's cult of personality continues to endear his passionate fan base with unique, over the top concepts to traditional subject matter while simultaneously continuing to embolden his distractors, of which there are many. With his latest offering, Snyder seems to have a lot on his mind, particularly with respect to the failures of government, the dangers of unchecked corporate greed, and the ever-present trauma of a father losing a daughter. Featuring bizarre visual choices, stupefying action sequences, and a scathing

As a preamble to this, I'm clarifying that I am only reviewing figures that came out in 2020 and that I purchased. I can't and won't review anything I don't have my hands on. I dialed back my spending quite a bit this year so its not as abundant in terms of selection but I chose wisely, in my opinion. My main collection focus is Transformers but I venture out of those bounds on occasion. With those parameters set, let's dive right in! Masterpiece Blackarachnia: With the Masterpiece line, you can rely on a few things. Great paint applications, accessories from nearly every major moment that character had in its respective show, and 'perfect' transformations. To be clear, 'perfect' transformations refers to no parts forming or disassembly to make the figure convert from one form to the

“Are you there God? It’s me, Maud.”As someone who grew up very religious and then became atheist in my early twenties, I understand that the world feels completely different when you are religious. You see signs everywhere, demons could be anywhere, and mysticism permeates your viewpoint. Deconverting felt like getting out from the pool, the cold clarity of logic and reality hitting my senses like a shock to the system. Saint Maud (2021) explores what can happen when religious fervour overtakes one’s perception and the consequences of completely detaching from reality. Katie (Morfydd Clark), a young nurse, has a traumatic experience trying to save a dying patient. Afterwards she converts to Roman Catholicism and changes her name to Maud (possibly a reference to Saint Matilda, t

Is it possible to make a sequel to a beloved '80s comedy film thirty years after the fact and it capture the same magic as the original? In the case of Coming 2 America (2021) the answer is: not really.After the death of King Jaffe Joffer (James Earl Jones), Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) has been upgraded to King of Zamunda. Unfortunately, according to the law of the land, Akeem has no heir to the throne because he had all daughters and the heir must be a son. It turns out that Akeem had a drunken (and drug laced) one night stand while he was in Queens and it produced a son he never knew he had: Lavelle Junson (Jermiane Fowler). Akeem must travel to America once again to find his son and bring him back to Zamunda to marry the daughter of a rival nation to gain peace.

Video games are notoriously hard to adapt to the screen. The type of story works in short bursts or as cut-scenes, or depending on how old the game is in a paragraph in an instruction manual, is hard to expand on. Conversely, story-heavy games often have 30-40 hours to use to flesh out characters and narrative and this has to be condensed onto a feature length film. Either way, filmmakers have their work cut out for them.Mortal Kombat is a franchise that started out as a campy and ultra-violent Western alternative to Japan's Street Fighter series, that over the course of eleven mainline games (and various spin-offs) has started to take itself comparatively more serious. For whatever reason, this newest adaptation for the most part ignores this evolution and plants the majority of th

On May 28th 1966, Walt Disney hosted 36 officials, hundreds of journalists and 16 children from around the world for the opening ceremony of the “It’s A Small World” attraction in Disneyland. The international event culminated with each of the children pouring a vial of water from the world’s “seven seas and nine major lagoons” into the ride’s river, with Walt Disney adding water from the Rivers of America. Originally designed by Disney for Pepsi-Cola’s 1964 World’s Fair pavilion as a salute to UNICEF and the children of the world, the attraction’s opening ceremony is a perfect symbol of the idealism behind the post war drive towards a globalized economy.Fast forward fifty-plus years and the realities of globalization have been less than ideal.

image courtesy Universal PicturesThe Fast and The Furious saga has played fast and loose with bringing back dead character. Both Letty and Han have both been brought back from the beyond after dying on screen. But bringing back someone that died in real life is another story. Director Justin Lin has recently teased that there's a possibility he'd bring back Paul Walker's character of Brian O'Conner for the final two films if they can recreate him on screen. While most of us might think it's tasteless in some form or another, we are completely expecting them to do so. In the crazy world of these movies, no one stays dead forever. With certain characters appearing from nowhere and teases in F9, it would be no doubt that Lin will do his best to bring Walker back digitally for the final two f
