Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
By Christian DiMartino Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the first Ant-Man movie where I didn’t have fun. Of course the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become known for the intergalactic stuff and usually they sell me on it in separate entries. I’m also usually open to a series trying to take a swing. The mistake…

Review: Thor: Love and Thunder
Remember Thor: Ragnarok? Who doesn’t? Following the original Thor (which I always dug more than most) and the second movie, which… happened, Taika Waititi found new life to breathe into the character and did so wonderfully with Thor: Ragnarok. The movie was sharp, funny, and it had tremendous energy. So five years later, Waititi now…

The Best Movies of 2021 (a tad late, I know)
By Christian DiMartino Typically when I make a 10 best list for movies, I like to wait until I’ve caught up with everything I deem necessary. In other words, I await the Oscar nominations, and if there is a major nomination that I have missed, I will wait until I’ve caught up with it. I…

I Watched 30 Seasons of Television from 2021, and, yeah, You’re Gonna Hear About it
By Christian DiMartino Alright so you may or may not have noticed that I vanished for the last like 10 days. Both of my current segments- “Stallone Saturdays” and “THE Best Picture”- were put on hold. Movies such as Uncharted and Marry Me went un-reviewed. I also deliberately stayed off of the Youtube channel I…

Review: Spider-Man: No Way Home
By Christian DiMartino Alright, warning you now: this is the one where I geek out. Spider-Man: No Way Home has finally arrived, after months of talk and fan theories (none of which I will confirm today), the film has arrived. And I’ll just come out and say it: I adored this movie. Chances are, if…

Review: Eternals
According to the dictionary, the word “eternal” means, “lasting or existing forever; without end or beginning.” That seems like a fitting title for Marvel’s latest joint, Eternals. The film focuses on a group of powerful God-ish folks who have been around for centuries and we never really see how they were all born or anything.…

Review: Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Venom: Let There Be Carnage feels like two movies in one, and the problem is that one is thoroughly entertaining, and the other never really achieves liftoff. The half that doesn’t achieve liftoff is amusing, I suppose, but the issue with it is that it’s the central focus of the movie. The film is directed…

Review: Black Widow
What took you so long? Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe before it was even really a universe, all the way back in 2010’s Iron Man 2. Now 11 years later (it should’ve been 10, but a little pandemic happened), she finally gets her solo movie with Black Widow.…

Review: Doctor Strange
1/2 By Christian DiMartino Gather up your friends and your doobies: there’s a new doctor in town. That’s Doctor Strange, the hero of Marvel’s newest outing, Doctor Strange, and man, what a glorious entry. We’ve seen so many of these superhero origin stories that a new idea would seem hard to come by. And in some…

Review: DeadPool
1/2 By Christian DiMartino I’ve always liked Ryan Reynolds. Sure, his career has had some rough patches (Remember The Amityville Horror? Of course you don’t), but he always tends to bring charisma to the occasion, which is something not everyone can conjure. I always root for him to succeed, even though I fear he won’t. But now…
