The image is compelling: a bride in her wedding dress with a gun in her hands and ammo strapped around her body. You know exactly what you’re in for… or do you? I tried to stay as far away from the original trailer as I could before I watched Ready or Not, starring Samara Weaving,…
With the highly-anticipated movie opening in theaters this week, we recently got a chance to attend The Lion King press conference. Participating were director Jon Favreau, Donald Glover (Simba), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar), Alfre Woodard (Sarabi), Seth Rogen (Pumbaa), Billy Eichner (Timon), JD McCrary (Young Simba), Shahadi Wright Joseph (Young Nala), Dr. John Kani (Rafiki), Keegan-Michael Key…
Before I start this The Lion King review, I want to address something so you know where I stand. There has been some discussion online lately about whether or not people are fans of Disney live-action remakes. Though I’ve enjoyed reading both sides, I have loved some and not others. I’m also okay with changes…
The new Netflix film Murder Mystery, starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, is released today. In the film, when a NYC cop (Adam Sandler) finally takes his wife (Jennifer Aniston) on a long-promised European trip, a chance meeting on the flight with a mysterious man (Luke Evans) gets them invited to an intimate family gathering on…
This past week, Vital Thrills got a chance to check out the premiere and press conference for the upcoming Netflix film, Murder Mystery. On the panel were writer James Vanderbilt, director Kyle Newacheck, Luis Gerardo Mendez Shioli Kutsuna, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, and Dany Boon. In the film, when a NYC cop (Adam Sandler) finally…
Before I begin, let me be very clear. I loved “The Long Night” episode of Game of Thrones. Let me also be clear about the fact that there are spoilers in here, so if you haven’t watched the third episode of Season 8, turn back now. Some idiot spoiled something for me with a title…
At the risk of sounding like this is a breakup letter, this is the hardest review I’ve ever had to write. Almost everything would be a spoiler, and I promise, this is spoiler-free. Heck, this is harder than the recent Blade Runner sequel. Still, I’ll do my best. Avengers: Endgame is the most satisfying film…
When the curtain opened on the actors appearing for the Avengers: Endgame press conference, there was an audible gasp. No one had been notified about who was going to be there beforehand. Some characters that turned to dust with the snap of Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) fingers have movies coming out, of course, but who knows…
People have been talking about a change in tone for DC superhero films for a while now. I’ve certainly been one of them. There are a million think pieces on how the world has gone to hell in a handbag and how we need films that take us away from that these days. Wonder Woman…
If you haven’t watched She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix yet, you are missing out. As a fan of the original show back in the 1980s, I wasn’t sure what to expect, and what I got blew my mind. In honor of International Women’s Day, the cast of She-Ra and the Princesses of…
It’s a hard thing to review Marvel Studios movies when you don’t want to give anything away but to preserve the mystery of what’s coming, that’s what I’m going to do. I will say this: Make sure you go see this movie early because between the plot and the mid- and after-credits scenes, there are…
We recently attended the press conference for the highly-anticipated Captain Marvel and learned about everything from the importance of female friendships, the fun the cast and crew had revisiting the 1990s, working with the cat who played Goose, and more. Attending the press conference were Marvel President Kevin Feige, Brie Larson, Jude Law, Lashana Lynch,…
Last night, I was lucky enough to be able to attend Excelsior! A Celebration of the Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible & Uncanny Life of Stan Lee, a tribute to the comic book legend put on by Legion M, Agents of Mayhem, and Stan Lee‘s POW! Entertainment. Hosted by Kevin Smith, the star-studded event to honor Stan Lee…
You cannot kill off Arya Stark. The new teaser trailer for Game of Thrones’ final season was released this weekend, and I’m sorry, but Arya is untouchable. (Please watch the teaser trailer before you go any further. You can check it out here.) In the teaser, we see Jon, Sansa, and Arya Stark walking through…
It’s that time of year again! Your entire week is going to be spent running to the mall and avoiding kids with sticky holiday candy, or attending family gatherings where you’ll be asked about your love life or why you aren’t further on in your career. You know, it might not be a bad idea…
The CW’s Beauty and the Beast actor and diabetes advocate, Austin Basis, has officially released the inaugural comic book series of The KINETIX – his own graphic saga following four amazing teens with disabilities & chronic illnesses, who are high school students by day and a team of superheroes by night. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, Basis and…
The DC Universe films haven’t always been the most lighthearted. From Man of Steel to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, there has been a rather dour feel. Wonder Woman changed all that and lightened things up, and Aquaman is the perfect successor here. The film hits theaters on December 21, and fans will be treated to a candy-colored…
The Good Place was just renewed by NBC for a fourth season, and I couldn’t be happier. The show is smart, tackles philosophy and the concept of goodness in a way that makes me laugh every week, has a podcast that is just as entertaining as the show itself and is exactly the right length…
We finally have the new trailer for Captain Marvel, the long-awaited film from Marvel Studios and Disney. This is the first female-fronted live-action superhero film. Fans know and love her, but what if she’s new to you? We’ve got you covered. Here’s all the essential info about Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers. There have been…
Creed II, the follow-up to the 2015 film, will hit theaters on November 21. We recently got a chance to chat with the cast at ComplexCon in Long Beach, CA. Participating in the event were Michael B. Jordan, who plays Adonis Creed, Florian Munteanu, who plays Viktor Drago, director Steve Caple Jr., and trainer Corey…
