Budget: $160 Million One of the earliest posts I made about Spider-Man on this website is that his introduction into the MCU would be the catalyst for its ruination. I was premature, but after viewing Spider-Man: Far From Home I’m still not entirely sure I was wrong. “[T]he most generous thing you can say about…

Insomniac’s Marvel Spider-Man Does Whatever a 2018 Game Does
I don’t think any developer has more experience in modern AAA game development than Insomniac Games does. Initially the developer for Spyro before it was sold to Activision Blizzard unlike its sister studio Naughty Dog (located in the same California neighbourhood) Insomniac remains an independent second party studio that miraculously has developed exclusives for both…
“It Does Put a Smile On My Face” (Spoiler-Free) Avengers: Infinity War – Review
I remember when I first saw Spider-Man 2 at the drive-in 14 years ago and initially didn’t like it. It sort of left everything on the table in the way I couldn’t initially process as a viewer, and then it grew on me as time went on. Similarly, I remember watching The Dark Knight in theatres 10…

Other Movie Franchises That’d Benefit From R-Ratings
In the wake of the success of Logan opening higher than any other solo Wolverine movie as well as Deadpool, movie studios may have finally learned that restricting a film’s rating to make a good film doesn’t restrict box office receipts. As well, considering the aging population of baby boomers and people who actually buy…
FilmGamer’s Most Anticipated Video Games of 2017
For Honor (Ubisoft Montreal) Valentine’s Day I spoke to a former game developer at Ubisoft and pro gamer who revealed in a talk that the company has been pushing really hard for e-Sports with this latest effort, and from playing the alpha (captured above) I can tell. For the first time in forever I began…
