Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World Might Be A Big Box Office Gamble

January was a pretty quiet month at the box office, even by January standards, which are not particularly high. (That is, unless you live in China where films like “Ne Zha 2” exploded and shattered records, but I digress.) But as is customary in the 2010s and beyond, Marvel is here to save the day … hopefully. “Captain America: Brave New World” is hitting theaters next weekend, and it’s a lock to deliver 2025’s first blockbuster opening, which theaters could sorely use. The question is, can it be a big success like a pre-pandemic superhero film? Or is Marvel Studios rolling the dice with this one?

Heart Eyes Has A Fun Post-Credits Scene Worth Sticking Around For

This post contains major spoilers for “Heart Eyes.” One part rom-com, one part slasher movie, all bloody good fun, “Heart Eyes” is in many ways the perfect Valentine’s Day entertainment. It’s got a masked killer themed around the holiday, a genuinely fun “will they, won’t they” romance at the center of it between Olivia Holt’s Ally and Mason Gooding’s Jay, and it plays expertly with two well-trodden genres. Credit to director Josh Ruben, who previously helmed the acclaimed video game movie “Werewolves Within,” and screenwriters Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon (“Happy Death Day”), and Michael Kennedy (“Freaky”).

 

 

MOVIE REVIEWS

Robin Hood

Russell Crowe

 

” Yes. I would probably consider this the best Robin Hood Movie I’ve seen…. but to be fair I don’t think I’ve seen very many prior to Prince of Thieves”

 

 

 

The Scorpion King

Dwayne Johnson

 

” A very good action movie over all, even with some funny parts. It is definetaly worth seeing. Johnson plays a good part and Kelly Hu is a true oriental beauty.

Check it out, it will be worth your while.”

 

A Knights Tale

Heath Ledger

 

” I can’t put my finger on why, but this is a movie I can watch over and over. The cast has amazing chemistry. The movie knows what it is: a light-hearted movie that never takes itself too seriously yet still delivers the kind of growth and message you would expect in something deeper. “

 

The Man in the Iron Mask

Leonardo DiCaprio

 

” Leonardo DiCaprio plays dual roles with diminishing returns in The Man in the Iron Mask, a cheesy rendition of the Musketeers’ epilogue that bears all pageantry of Alexander Dumas text, but none of its romantic panache”

 

Warriors of Virtue

Mario Yedidia

 

“Lame in one leg Ryan Jeffers (Mario Yedidia) has few friends in his high school and spends most of his time with chinese chef Ming, who gives him the book of Tao”

 

Streetfighter

Jean-Claude Van Damme

 

” Not sure why the movie gets so much hate it’s as close to 80s/90s arcade game storyline as you can get. All the characters are way over the top and there are so many good one liners. One of my favorites”

 

The Phantom

Billy Zane

 

” The Phantom wears two rings, one on each hand. On his right hand he wears the skull ring that is most associated with him. It is the ring that burns an impression of the skull into everyone he punches. “

 

Boiling Point

Wesley Snipes

 

“I just saw the movie the third or the second time in a few years. It was better than I had pegged it in my memory. It is a worthwhile Action Thriller! “

 

The Last of the Mohicans

Daniel Day-Lewis

 

” This is a Thrilling fierce adventure movie tempered to historical detail, melodramatic emotion and a sympathetic tense dipiction of the French and Indian War Era.”
