Great '90s Movies That Got Bad Reviews

1 week ago | 929nin.com | Matt Singer

There has never been a universally beloved work of art. No matter how popular, no matter how successful, there's always at least one or two naysayers out there. Or, in the case of the movies we're looking at today, a lot of naysayers. The list below contains 13 films that are (at least in one highly intelligent man's subjective opinion) extremely entertaining. A couple are (again, at least to me) absolute classics of their genre and era.
James Gunn's Dog Loves Watching Himself in 'Superman'

1 week ago | 929nin.com | Matt Singer

There is some debate over the extent to which dogs can perceive and enjoy television. Some dogs never notice a TV blaring in the background; others will stare at the screen or even chase around little critters that happen to pass through the frame. My own pooch has never taken a second look at the television - but if she hears a dog barking on a show, that definitely get her attention.
‘Thunderbolts*’ Has a New Title (Again)

1 week ago | screencrush.com | Matt Singer

The following post contains SPOILERS for Thunderbolts* — ones which the notoriously spoiler-phobic Marvel are themselves spoiling on their own social media channels. So blame them, not me!For the second time, Thunderbolts* has a new title. Marvel is now hyping the film with the name that appears in the movie’s closing credits sequence — after, in storyline, the theme (sort of) referred to as the Thunderbolts takes up the mantle as the MCU’s new team of Avengers.

The Best Performances in Marvel Movies

1 week ago | koel.com | Matt Singer

Out of the hundreds of actors who have appeared in the 35+ films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, only one has received an Academy Award nomination in one of the four acting categories. That was Angela Bassett, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — but ultimately lost the award to Jamie Lee Curtis for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
The 10 Worst Action Movies of the Last 10 Years

1 week ago | mega993online.com | Matt Singer

Action movies are finally getting the respect they deserve. For the first time ever, the Oscars are adding a Best Stunt Design award, something that will only serve to elevate both the craft of stunts and action in cinema, but also the public’s awareness of the enormous amount of artistry and talent that goes into creating these pieces of thrilling entertainment. Now, that said ... not every action movie is worthy of an Academy Award. Or even most action movies. A lot of them are pretty mid.
DC’s ‘Sgt. Rock’ Movie No Longer in Development

1 week ago | koel.com | Matt Singer

I’m not sure any DC Comics character has spent more time in the Hollywood trenches than Sgt. Rock. The World War II hero, created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert in the late ’50s, was almost an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle in the 1990s, produced by Joel Silver. The project got far enough along that there were promotional items made for it; look around online and you can find Sgt. Rock buttons with Schwarzenegger’s likeness.
‘Minecraft Movie‘ Announces Rowdy Screenings

1 week ago | mega993online.com | Matt Singer

A Minecraft Movie screenings made news earlier this month when the film opened in theaters to raucous sold out screenings, filled with teens screaming and applauding and reciting lines from the film, even though it had only been out for a few days at most at the time. That’s because the film had gone viral on TikTok even before its official release, where compilations of kids yelling along with lines like “Chicken jockey!” became wildly popular.
‘Thunderbolts*’ Has the Longest Post-Credits Scene in the MCU

1 week ago | screencrush.com | Matt Singer

The following post does NOT contain any major spoilers for Thunderbolts* beyond what’s established in the headline. You’re good. At this point it’s news when a Marvel movie doesn’t have a post-credits scene, not the other way around. Almost all of them have one, or two, or sometimes three or more. So the fact that Thunderbolts* has two credits teases, one in the middle of the crawl and one at the very end, is not shocking. It’s expected.
