Surprisingly enjoyable, despite its flaws

“After the truly awful Deep Blue Sea 2 in 2018, the prospect of another direct-to-video sequel to 1999's fun-as-hell shark flick Deep Blue Sea seemed about as exciting as a moist fart. Yet, even with a limited budget and no major stars, 2020's Deep Blue Sea 3 is a far better sequel than its immediate” read more

The M-She-U Is Here

The woke takeover of Hollywood has sped up in recent years, with intersectional feminism creeping into virtually every major franchise from Terminator to Star Wars. I have no issue with female superhero movies, but it's clear that the MCU is determined to push ahead with agenda-driven flicks dripping with propaganda and politics, which is not something we need in our popcorn-munching blockbusters. In Captain Marvel, the script and story were specifically designed for the titular character to be as flawless as possible, without any actual arc or hero's journey, because the filmmakers seemed terrified to portray Carol as an actual human with strengths and weaknesses. The script even went so far as to have the Tesseract give Carol her powers, as opposed to a man (like the comics). If this sort of thing continues, it's going to get harder and harder to care about the MCU. And since Captain Marvel was a hit (thanks to the Avengers connection and nothing else, period), I don't think the wokeness and feminism angle will go away anytime soon. I'm just glad that Avengers: Endgame was a worthwhile endpoint for the franchise.

Movie tickets collection (365 movies items)

"This is a cool idea. I’ve collected all my movie tickets since 2004, and in that time, I’ve only lost maybe 4 or 5."

A shameless crowd-pleaser with great music

Instead of a generic or simplistic apoc” read more
