Renfield

Renfield: Directed by Chris McKay. With Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage, Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz. Renfield, Dracula’s henchman and inmate at the lunatic asylum for decades, longs for a life away from the Count, his various demands, and all of the bloodshed that comes with them. A completely enjoyable film, mostly due to the notable talents of one Awkwafina, who wasn’t really on my radar until Shang-Chi, but now I think I’m going to pay more attention to her career going forward. The story of Renfield is focused on the titular character, who according to Wikipedia has been a part of the...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Directed by James Gunn. With Chukwudi Iwuji, Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista. Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill rallies his team to defend the universe and one of their own – a mission that could mean the end of the Guardians if not successful. The best of the three Guardian films, which to be honest wasn’t a huge hurdle to get over, as the first movie was great, the second movie was ok, and this is the third movie, so everyone is firing on all thrusters and there’s a ton...

Giga

Ever since their world-shattering war ended, the slumbering mecha called ‘Giga’ have been both gods and habitats for the surviving humans. Then disgraced engineer Evan Calhoun discovers a murdered Giga, and the very fabric of society stars unraveling around him. This was a monthly series until issue #5, which took 8 months to come out and as the final issue it was good enough that I can recommend the story as it is right now. I had completely forgotten that I was even getting the series though and I didn’t know that the fifth issue was even out, so I...

Marvel Snap

Marvel Snap: Directed by Danny Koo, Christine Thompson, Eric Monacelli, Tim Tsang. With Rex Anderson, Weston Heflin, Samuel L. Jackson, Dylan Jones. A card video game based on Marvel Comics. I played this from release until a couple months ago when I just forgot to do the dailies, then never got back to it and was only reminded about the game when I was looking to clear up some space on my phone. The CCG aspect of the game is top notch, the animations each card gets are novel and I’m sure we’ll see more games with the parallax views...

Recursion (Wearing the Cape #7)

It’s been just weeks since the state funeral for the Sentinels, Atlas, Ajax, and Nimbus, lost in the Whittier Base Attack. Astra, Hope, is recovered from her own injuries. At least physically. Mentally . . . not so much, but she feels ready to actively wear the cape again. Which is good since, between the revelation of her short-lived relationship with Atlas (nine years her senior) and her virally pungent public comments on the current political debate over breakthrough registration (the National Public Safety Act), she needs to raise her profile. But she’s better now, steady, ready for anything.Or is...

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio: Directed by Guillermo del Toro, Mark Gustafson. With Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Gregory Mann, Burn Gorman. A father’s wish magically brings a wooden boy to life in Italy, giving him a chance to care for the child. This is a pretty heavy film for a story that Disney also adapted twice, once in the same year that Guillermo del Toro’s version came out in. I haven’t seen the Disney live action version and really have no interest, they’ve not done well with their live action stuff, but this one is damn well done and explores some...

Tetris

Tetris: Directed by Jon S. Baird. With Taron Egerton, Mara Huf, Miles Barrow, Rick Yune. The story of how one of the world’s most popular video games found its way to players around the globe. Businessman Henk Rogers and Tetris inventor Alexey Pajitnov join forces in the USSR, risking it all to bring Tetris to the masses. I’d love to see the eventual comparison of the actual events of the contract adventures of Tetris, but until then, this is an enjoyable journey of a slightly clueless programmer / salesman that really ended up being one of two people in the...

The Fate of the Furious

The Fate of the Furious: Directed by F. Gary Gray. With Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez. When a mysterious woman seduces Dominic Toretto into the world of terrorism and a betrayal of those closest to him, the crew face trials that will test them as never before. The last F&F movie that The Rock appeared in, with only a couple scenes that maybe were in the same room as Vin Diesel. Also, Dom threw a car at a helicoptor and won, so that happened. Buy On Amazon!
