Robbie to play Barbie. Gosling to play Ken. From the Writer of Marriage Story and the Director of Little Women.
Warner Bros. and Mattel production will shoot sometime in early 2020. This is a dream come true! Anyone will get onboard with a fun movie or a good story, especially when they adapt a well known property. But Warner Bros. went the extra mile taking someone from the indie scene with a reputation as an…
Warner Bros. 2021 Movie Preview
Warner Bros. announced all of their 2021 movies would be released in theaters and on their streaming service HBO Max simultaneously.

After 2020, Where Do Hollywood Movies Go From Here?
Now that 2020 is over, and a number of blockbuster films have released post-pandemic such as; TENET, MULAN, and Wonder Woman, we can evaluate.* There’s no speculation. This year was terrible for movies. I am finding it hard to scrape together a top 10 list, I think I will bunch with TV and Video Games….
Is ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ in 2020 a Comedown or an Uplift?
This movie was supposed to come out November 1st, 2020. And yet despite the extra time the special effects are bad, the writing sloppy and the film edit drags. I can’t explain how the film came in initially hot and highly rated. Maybe during the pandemic critics were clamoring for anything. With positive reviews like…
RE-ƎVALUATION: TENET enjoyable more AT-HOME versus IN-THEATERS
Watching it In-Theaters I was but The Protagonist, but now I am Neil. I worked very hard on my TENET REVIEW. Considering I made a calculated risk to go see it during the pandemic and worked a month to edit in in video format. I thought it was too impenetrable with a pile of nothing…
Case 10 – Wonder Woman 1984: A Post-Pandemic Release Strategy
Friday March 13th: Hollywood’s last stand before pulling most major releases from the schedule. One of the last movies released was a mid-range Blumhouse film, The Hunt. It made a few bucks, shuffled quickly onto premium Video On Demand and despite its pedigree, wasn’t very good. Friday November 13th, Universal released a Blumhouse movie: ‘Freaky‘….
TƎИƎT REVIEW | “ИO⅃AИ MƎƎTS ENTROPY “
“We live in a Twilight World.” “And there are no friends at dusk.” It has been six months since theatres closed. The longest gap in moviegoing for me in twenty years. Yet it does not feel long ago my father and I went to see The Invisible Man. Not a bad film to go out…
Versions of ‘V For Vendetta’
“We’ve swept this place and you got nothing, nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy Karate gimmicks.” – Creedy Originally written for Sean Moreland’s ‘Comic Book Literature’ class at University of Ottawa. The most audacious thing about V for Vendetta (2006) is the comic book it decides to adapt. Capitalizing on the early superhero boom…
TENET should provide Masks as a Cinematic and Social Responsibility
To the Warner Bros. TENET Marketing Department, Christopher Nolan wrote an Op-Ed in March about the social responsibility of supporting local theatres. A cinematic champion, the director received his fair share of criticism trying to promote moviegoing during the pandemic. I think most people detect that this is a director who makes movies and doesn’t…

‘Joker’ Review: Clown Car Cabbie
Director/ Co-writer: Todd Phillips/ Writer: Scott Silver/ Starring: Robert De Niro, Joaquin Phoenix / Producer: Bradley Cooper/ Cinematography: Lawrence Sher Joker is Taxi Driver meets The King of Comedy set in the Batman universe. It is less violent, more expensive, modern and thus perhaps phoney, and equally intermittently dull. This is not a fun film….
