http://www.spoilerfreemoviesleuth.com - image courtesy Legendary PicturesIt's been a long, hard year at the cinema. Dozens of movies were either pulled or delayed from their theatrical release. And numerous films that should have been massive financial successes for their respective studios ended up courting major losses as studios grappled with a worldwide pandemic, shuttered theaters, and had to watch their big budget commercial ventures fall apart or at least take heavy hits. With COVID numbers beginning to decline and vaccines being doled out in the millions, the general public may be ready to start heading back to theaters.

http://www.spoilerfreemoviesleuth.com -  image courtesy WBWith only a couple weeks to go to until the release of Zack Snyder's four hour cut of his Justice League, it looks like fans might be ultimately disappointed with one of Warner Bros.' decisions surrounding the film's release. It's been known for a while that this massively extended vision of the super hero team up would hit HBO Max exclusively and will hopefully see a blu-ray and 4K home release. While the internet and social media is at war with itself over Snyder's cut of the film, it looks like Warner has officially decided to never give the project a theatrical release at all.

Based on the novel and young adult series, The Knife of Never Letting Go, a post Star Wars Daisy Ridley and Spider-Man star Tom Holland team up in the feature film that combines consistent Western tropes with science fiction, cult based religious themes, gender dynamics, and a troubled script that muddles its message of acceptance repeatedly. While Ridley and Holland do their damnedest to rise above the muck of a tonally problematic film, director Doug Liman mildly falters as he awaits production on his Edge of Tomorrow sequel to happen. This is not his best effort at all. Yet, the dynamic of cros

As frightening to receive as it is to give, trust can make or break any connection forged between two beings. Raya and the Last Dragon, a new animated adventure, posits that it can also make or break the fate of an entire culture. Disney’s latest animated feature, released both theatrically and available on Disney+ with a premium membership, is a dynamic and ambitious blend of action film, fantasy, and Eastern-inspired legend. Starring a young heroine named Raya (voiced by Kelly Marie Tran) and a silly, endearing water dragon named Sisu (voiced by Awkwafina), the film takes cues from series like Avatar: The Last Airbenderand The Dark Crystal: Age
