Well that's...a suit. Seemingly unauthorized, photos of the full new Batsuit and Batcycle from director Matt Reeves' forthcoming The Batman appeared online. (See gallery below.) This follows an official tease of the batsuit from Reeves, as worn by star Robert Pattinson, in a camera test video that Reeves posted online. It's set to a music [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OJnkJqkyio Spider-Man and Iron Man as...Marty McFly and Doc Brown?! Great Scott!!! YouTuber EZRyderX47, the latest onliner to take a stab at deepfake technology, is having some fun with Back to the Future -- and it's legitimately inspired. In a clip from the original BTTF, the faces of Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox have [...]
https://vimeo.com/391277390 The new Batsuit is here, and it's...sorta kinda basically what you'd expect. Landing somewhere between Christian Bale's and Ben Affleck's costumes, writer / director Matt Reeves is sticking with the black-and-gray motif for Robert Pattinson's cape and cowl in the upcoming The Batman. Clearly an engineered suit of armor, it appears to be a [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoJc2tH3WBw&t=0s Now this is my kind of medieval fantasy. Based on a bit of lesser known lore within the King Arthur legend (and completely new to me), The Green Knight is a fascinating-bordering-on-bonkers art house indie approach to the Tolkien-styled epics ala Lord of the Rings and the legion of copies it has inspired (Game [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcPk2p0Zaw4 There is our world, and then there's Wes Anderson's. The latest opportunity for us to travel from ours to his comes this summer with The French Dispatch, the 10th feature film from this generation's most distinct cinematic artisan. Once again assembling an eclectic cast (and quite possibly his largest) -- an ensemble that includes [...]
We may not have witnessed the biggest upset in Oscar history (that still goes to 2016’s Moonlight), but the 92nd annual ceremony ended with what was arguably the Academy Awards' biggest breakthrough. Right there with Kathryn Bigelow’s glass-ceiling shattering first female win for Best Director with The Hurt Locker, Bong Joon-ho’s South Korean thriller Parasite became the [...]
Here are my predictions for who will win at The 92nd Annual Academy Awards, along with my "Who Should Win" preferences. I also provide my thinking behind each prediction, while also offering what I think are the other strong contenders in each category (if there are any). The ceremony will take place on Sunday night February [...]
When it comes to Oscar pools, the make-or-break categories are the three for short films: Animated, Documentary, and Live Action. Below are links to my reviews for those three separate categories. These short film packages are playing in theaters nationwide in two different ways: As three separate feature length collections, one for each category (you're [...]
Yes, I'm a Top 10 straggler, but I'd rather be sure about my choices than second-guess them down the road. Rushing out a list during the onslaught of screening season, simply to meet the obligatory date of December 31st, doesn't allow for proper consideration, especially with so many contenders dumped out en masse at year's [...]
