Movie Review: ‘Shazam!’ Starring Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Mark Strong, Jack Dylan Grazer
I have a confession to make. I’m a little burned out on superhero movies. Now, hear me out. It’s not that I don’t enjoy them. They’re still pretty entertaining, and more often than not, I’ll still go to a theater to see them before they come out on Blu Ray. But I no longer really […]
ReviewSTL Podcast Episode 6: Superhero Movies Part 2 – Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
This week on the ReviewSTL podcast, our heroes continue their journey though the Superhero genre of film. This time, they make a pit stop into the world of everyone’s favorite wall crawler, Marvel’s own (actually Sony owns the film rights, but you get what I mean) The Amazing Spider-Man! Spidey debuted on the big screen […]
Blu-Ray Review – “Superman vs. The Elite”
I will continue to praise the work by Bruce Timm and everyone else involved in the DC Universe Animated Films. While I do not love all of the films, some of them are pretty spectacular including “Wonder Woman”, “Justice League: A New Frontier”, and “Batman: Under the Red Hood”. I am not a huge Superman […]
DC Moving Forward With ‘Justice League’ and ‘Wonder Woman’ Films
The Avengers has dominated everything. Domestic box office numbers. Global box office numbers. Superhero films. Every film except for Titanic and Avatar. Of course this is good news for superhero genre fans like myself. I love costumed heroes with superpowers, and the success of The Avengers will result in studios wanting to cash in on […]
First Look: CW’s “Arrow”
I am not all that familiar with the character Oliver Queen/ Green Arrow. I have seen the DC animated short that is awesome, and I have seen him in a few “Justice League” episodes. But that’s all I have seen. I was slightly surprised when I first heard that CW was shooting a pilot for […]
DVD Review: “Justice League: Doom”
“Justice League: Doom” is the newest addition to DC’s slate of animated films. It has a lot of positives going for it including the action, voice acting, animation, and plot set up. Unfortunately, there are a few key components that will keep this film from being enjoyed by more casual fans of the Justice League. […]
Robert Downey Jr. as Lex Luthor in Superman Movie?
I love comic books, and I love most comic book movies. Unfortunately, I feel like the mass audience does not see the best superhero films. I believe those have been the animated films put out by both DC and Marvel. “Batman: Mask of the Phantasm” […]
Warner Brothers and DC Still Pushing On With ‘Green Lantern’ Sequel
I finally saw GREEN LANTERN a couple of days ago. The nice thing was that I was sufficiently warned. I read all the negative reviews. All of the initial excitement for the film had totally went away before sitting down in the theater. Films are always better with zero expectations. I have certainly seen worse […]
The Hidden Gem – “Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme”
“The Hidden Gem” is all about my personal favorite films. And while some of the films I discuss may not be hidden to most movie fans, they are hidden to a majority of my friends and people that I have talked to. So I want to discuss them for three reasons: 1. Tell you why […]
Famous DC Vertigo “Preacher” Adaptation Moving Forward Without Sam Mendes
A few months ago we reported that Sam Mendes would be doing the directing duties for James Bond 23. (Read our full story here.) Before signing on to that, he was on board to direct the long awaited adaptation of DC Vertigo’s popular comic book, Preacher. Producer Neal Moritz, who also produced Fast and Furious […]
