Film Review: Marvel’s ‘Infinity War’ is Finally Here
It’s here. It’s finally here. For the past ten years, Disney/Marvel has produced eighteen feature films showcasing the likes of our favorite Marvel superheroes. Jon Favreau’s Iron Man was a surprise blockbuster in 2008 carried by a career-resurrecting performance by Robert Downey Jr. and the creative minds at Disney/Marvel (see: Kevin Feige) knew they were […]
ReviewSTL Podcast Episode 8: Marvel Cinematic Universe “Phase 1”
Last week, Thor: The Dark World opened in theaters. Given that the movie is part of “Phase Two” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it only seemed fitting that the gents from the ReviewSTL Podcast sit down and run through “Phase One” of the Marvel Films.

6 Movies Featuring Butlers, In Honor of Lee Daniels’ THE BUTLER
This week sees the release of The Butler. A thoughtful, if heavy-handed, piece of Oscar-bait that shows the Civil Rights movement through the eyes of a White House butler who served in seven different presidential administrations.

THOR AND CAPTAIN AMERICA GET CONFIRMED SEQUELS
Is it just me or are superhero films counting their eggs before they hatch? I thought it was ridiculous that the studio would green light a GREEN LANTERN sequel before it was even close to hitting theaters, but evedentally that is becoming the norm seeing that THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA are both getting solo sequels. […]
Robert Downey Jr. Lends His Talents to Dreamworks
I am kind of shocked that a studio hasn’t locked down Robert Downey Jr. sooner to do an animated film. Then again, he really only made his big comeback in 2008 with Iron Man. The man has got a great voice for animation, and his name will get butts in the seats. At least that’s […]
