Before going into the early 2000s, with all of it’s ups and downs, let’s rewind back to the animated movies that were growing in popularity during the golden age in the nineties, for we can’t talk about superhero films without talking about the many animated ones.
DetailsWerewolves Within
, I have loved the idea that right under the surface of the seemingly civilized, there is a monster clawing to get out and that good people can be monsters in the right circumstances and even more to the point, sometimes monsters look and act like good people.
DetailsThe Suicide Squad
I remember being really excited for the original 2016 film. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. How is this film in comparison? Let’s find out.

Where we left off last superhero films were just getting their bearings. But in 1978 this all changed. What happened? Let’s find out.
DetailsBatman: The Long Halloween Part 2
This really is the story of Harvey Dent’s journey into madness. It is a tale of the darkness within him being forced to come out. It is too easy to believe that Harvey went crazy after having acid thrown on half his face creating his alter ego, but Two-Face was always a part of him and just needed a bit of a nudge to come out.
DetailsJungle Cruise
There is no wonder that Jungle Cruise took many elements from Pirates and put them into this film. A fabled cursed treasure, a strong-willed female lead, two different set of villains and lots of action and special effects are all elements that both movie franchises used, and it served them well.

Pop culture has been dominated by superhero films ever since 2008 with the first Iron Man movie. What is the history of these films we all love? What was the first superhero film? Let’s find out.

It’s a pretty big week, with a number of high profile titles hitting shelves this week like #MortalKombat, #Saw and more. I think there’s a little something for everyone this week, even a magical kangaroo movie! (Yes, you read that correctly.)
DetailsCaptain America
After being frozen in Antarctica, Captain America returns to defeat the evil Red Skull. 1990’s Captain America came before superhero films had high budgets, but still is an interesting film.
DetailsFear Street Part 3: 1666
There is also a heavy Faustian theme as well. When life gives you lemons, do you offer the devil lemonade. How far do you have to be pushed, before you sell your soul to get what you want, and does that make you a bad person?

After a couple of bigger weeks, this week slows down a bit again in terms of home video releases. Still, there are a couple of interesting releases out, most notably a hit kids movie and some great catalogue releases.
DetailsFear Street Part 2 1978
We have been fed little breadcrumbs in both films that I am assuming will come together in the final chapter. It gives the characters something to do besides just run and scream, trip and fall, or bleed and die.
