However, Sony still wants to make Spider-Man movies without the main hero. This […] The post Madame Web Review appeared first on Renegade Cinema ..read more

In 2018, The Meg was a surprise hit monster movie. In what could have been just another B-level Jason Statham action movie, Jon Turtltaub created a fun movie that saw Statham battle a giant prehistoric megalodon released from the depths of the ocean. While it didn’t receive great critical reviews, it still made $530 million at the box office and proved that critics are not always right. For my part, I loved the first Meg movie. In my The Meg review, I wrote, “Don’t expect the next Jaws. Expect the next Lake Placid but with a 65-foot prehistoric shark in a no-holds-barred match with J ..read more

The Flash offered up a fun final take for the DCU that Zack Snyder built and filled it with Flash Easter eggs. This meant that director Andrés Muschietti could have some fun at the same time. Since The Flash was all about creating a version of the Flashpoint storyline, this movie could change the entire DCU, while also paying homage to the past DC properties. To do so, there were a ton of great cameos in the movie from characters in both DC Comics and past DC properties. Here is a look at every DC character who appeared in The Flash movie. Read our review of The Flash movie here. The Flash ..read more

When the Transformers franchise started, it was exciting and showed that the classic toy line/cartoon could succeed on the big screen – and succeed on a high level. However, something happened along the way. After the first movie told the story about a “boy and his car,” the second movie made things more about an all-out war, and by the third movie, the humans didn’t matter anymore. While the movies kept making money, the quality dropped, and what was once critic-proof became something that no one really talked about liking anymore. After Transformers: Age of Extinction broke $1 billion, The L ..read more

Cocaine Bear was based on a true story. That may seem hard to believe, but it is true – kind of. In September 1985, convicted drug smuggler Andrew Thornton died after a parachuting accident. The word is that he was traveling with 880 pounds of cocaine and threw a bunch out of the plane before parachuting out and falling to his death. He was found dead in a driveway with $15 million worth of cocaine on him. However, more cocaine was missing. In December 1985, a 175-pound black bear died of an overdose of cocaine after discovering a batch of the drug in Chattahoochee National Forest in Tennessee ..read more

Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania faced an uphill battle for things that were out of its control. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown to a massive size. It has some fans thinking they need to connect every movie to understand each one. Honestly, this is a non-factor. Fans can watch almost every movie in the MCU on their own, with little knowledge. They won’t miss anything other than Easter eggs and things that really don’t matter to the story. If no one ever saw Loki, it wouldn’t hurt Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania at all. Kang made his first appearance on that Disney+ show. However, no ..read more

I never knew I needed Nicolas Cage as Dracula until I watched the new Renfield trailer. The movie, hitting theaters on April 14, stars Nicholas Hoult (Beast from the X-Men movies) as Renfield, the classic minion of Dracula. In the trailer, he clearly wants out, even going to a support group and pleading his case. However, that is when Nic Cage shows up as Dracula the movie instantly becomes must see. Awkwafina also stars as a security cop who Renfield saves in an armed robbery. Based on the trailer, it appears the two of them will find a way to get Renfield out from under Dracula’s control. It ..read more
