Marvel’s ANT-MAN Opens Number 1, Yet Lowest Gross Since THE INCREDIBLE HULK. What Does That Mean?
By now, we’ve all grown used to the idea that any new Marvel movie is capable of topping the box office and leading ticket sales worldwide, if not setting a new record for an opening weekend. Time and time again, the studio pushes out a new superhero adventure only to set its own bar higher, […]

21: ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston
This week on Reel Spoilers it’s “hammer time”. See what we did there? We’re talking about Thor who has a hammer. But then we made a nostalgic ‘90s reference because everyone loves those. You’re welcome. What else can we say about Thor? It’s not exactly like we can fact check the thing. This ain’t Captain […]
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.

Movie Review: ‘The Wolverine’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Tao Okamoto, Svetlana Khodchenkova
The Wolverine. When mentioning a solo Wolverine movie, one can’t help but remember the atrocity that was X-Men: Origins Wolverine. Another argument could be made that all of the previous X-Men movies (with the exception of First Class) were in essence movies about Wolverine, but they just happened to have other mutants running around. With […]
Review: Marvel’s ‘Iron Man 3’ Draws From ‘Extremis’ Comics, Pits Tony Stark Against Mandarin and Aldrich Killian
Iron Man 3. This officially marks the beginning of phase 2. For the uninitiated, phase 2 is simply a way of referencing Marvel movies that take place post the events of The Avengers. Iron Man 3 (directed by Shane Black) is the final entry (for now) of a now beloved franchise. For those keeping track, Iron […]
New Photos From X-MEN Spinoff ‘The Wolverine’ Starring Hugh Jackman
It is unfortunate that 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine was so bad. After Brian Singer’s X-MEN and X-2 reintroduced superhero movies into the mainstream, X-Men: The Last Stand ended up in Brett Ratner’s hands and was ultimately a disappointment. Origins was the chance to focus on the most popular character in the franchise, Wolverine, and also […]

The Long Box – Comic Book Casting: The Punisher
The Punisher has been in what I like to call “movie jail”. Despite three feature films, it has never found traction with audiences or critics. In 1989, the first film starred Dolph Lundgren and went straight to video (never a good sign). The second was released in theaters in 2004 and starred Thomas Jane. […]
