I’m not a super-fan — just a casual Kryptonologist — but I must confess I never really got Superman‘s dog. A canine with superpowers always struck me as deeply problematic. Does he knock over fire hydrants when he pees? Does the Earth’s rotation reverse whenever he chases his tail? Does he chew up his master’s
Even though our very own Mike Reyes gave Red One a positive review not too long ago, I’ve heard nothing but people talking smack about it all over the internet. Even though some of us here have defended the film, I was still pretty hesitant to believe that Red One could be anything more than

The Harry Potter movies made stars out of the three young actors who played Harry, Ron, and Hermione, making Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson household names.

When I first heard about Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, I had a feeling this was going to be one of the most remarkable and emotional experiences on the 2024 movie schedule. When I saw the documentary’s beautiful trailer over the summer, I made a note to watch it as soon as it became available

I’m a man who was born in 1983 (but consider myself a ‘90s kid), so I have to be a huge fan of Transformers, right? Well…not exactly. Thundercats? You betcha. G.I. Joe? You know it! And don’t even get me started on the Ninja Turtles, because I’ve probably written more about them than anything else
On the Los Angeles Times’ culture desk back in the 2010s, reporters would have a shorthand for readers’ hypersensitivity to spoilers. “And Rosebud was a sled,” a journalist might say upon reading aloud such subscriber feedback, which might prompt another to volley back, “And Bruce Willis was dead the whole time.” Those two references, of
For a good collection of people, Disney movies have been a staple of their childhoods. And for some of these fans, the idea of being in or working on one is a dream. That was the case for Princess and the Frog’s Anika Noni Rose, as she recently looked back at the emotional first steps
