It must be tough being a KINGSMAN fan. After the slick and enjoyable first entry offered a buzzingly cheeky approach to dapper British spies, the second entry failed to capitalize on the first’s extravagance (robot-murdering-Elton John notwithstanding) by doubling up on the skeezy-ness and losing itself among the attempts to…

The end of the world is no laughing matter. At least, for director/writer Adam McKay, the former auteur of brilliantly stupid comedy films like STEP BROTHERS and TALLADEGA NIGHTS, it isn’t. Well, maybe it is just a bit of a laughing matter, but not too much now, you hear! This…

Possibly the most anticipated film of the year for a majority of moviegoers and most definitely one of the most anticipated Spider-Man entries ever (at least until the next one), SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME arrives to cap off the year, and seemingly its trilogy, with a go-for-broke reach for extravagance…

Give Hulu this, they seem to be dead set on cornering the market of “straight to streaming” films that make for easily digestible summer fare. Mainly I’m basing this off the release of last summer’s PALM SPRINGS, a Hulu released film that gave isolated, pent up audiences a taste of…
