Movie Review: ANT-MAN and THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA. The MCU opens Phase V as it ended Phase IV: formulaic, underwhelming product that replaces the human element with CGI and uninteresting characters

  So begins “Phase V” of the MCU, after Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Fiege said – in a way – that phase IV didn’t hit the target. If this newest entry is anything to go by, the MCU isn’t getting back on track for a long time, if at all. For me it continued ..read more

Movie Review: JAKOB’S WIFE: Crampton and Fassenden are a believable couple in quiet crisis mode, but this vampire movie doesn’t know what it wants to be.

  When it comes to vampires, I’m more or less a purist. There are vampire movies I love, vampire movies I hate. It all comes down to my own personal take on vampires, and what media aligns closest with that take. So a big yes for Martin and The Addiction, and a big hell no ..read more

Movie Review: SKINAMARINK: Don’t go into this movie looking a new Paranormal Activity, this is anything but a traditional moviegoing experience.

  I don’t think I’ve ever been so conflicted about writing a movie review as I am with Kyle Edward Ball’s debut, Skinamarink. I think I’d only heard the name a couple of weeks ago, and then I heard it was playing an extremely limited engagement here in the Twin Cities metro region of Minnesota ..read more

Movie Review: A MAN CALLED OTTO – predictable to a fault, with one-dimensional, annoying characters, but survives on Tom Hanks’s touching performance.

Our generation’s Jimmy Stewart is back. Tom Hanks doesn’t seem like he’s going to throw in the towel any time soon, and most people wouldn’t complain too much about that. I guess I’m one o them – though I wouldn’t say I’m an ardent fan, I’ve liked most movies of his that I’ve seen, and ..read more

Movie Review: MEGAN – If you can get past the obvious Chucky parallel and a familiar storyline, you might enjoy this as much as I did.

With no fanfare whatsoever, I’m happy to say the At The Foothills of Madness movie review website is back open for business. It’s been over three years since the last entry, and here we are again. COVID put a dent in my movie watching, but it’s not like I wasn’t watching movies during or since ..read more

COMIC BOOK REVIEW – FANTASTIC FOUR 232 – JULY 1981.
AT THE FOOTHILLS OF MADNESS
by ANDREW HOPE
4y ago
In 1981, years before the internet was a thing, I wandered into my local newsagent in Springburn, a neighbourhood in Glasgow, Scotland, looking to see if John Byrne had resumed the art on The X-Men.  Byrne was my favourite comic book artist, and had been for a few years by then, from his work on ..read more

THE WORLD’S GREATEST COMIC MAGAZINE – my thoughts on John Byrne’s run on Marvel’s first family
AT THE FOOTHILLS OF MADNESS

4y ago
In 1981, fresh off a defining run on the X-Men with writer Chris Claremont, Canadian comic book creator John Byrne turned his attention on The Fantastic Four. Once Marvel Comics’ flagship title, The Fantastic Four had become a middling comic book in the 70s, its position usurped by the X-Men due to engaging, tight plotting ..read more

Movie Review: CHARLIE’S ANGELS – a female empowerment movie so brutally awful you’d think a man wrote it.

I’ll confess to being a boring moviewatcher.  I am not one of those types who can get into bad movies, nor can I ever describe a bad movie that is somehow so bad it becomes good.  I just don’t have that capacity.  Bad is bad.  I suppose I also have a grudge against bad movies ..read more

Movie Review: TERMINATOR: DARK FATE – Cameron and Co fumble a genuine chance to reboot the franchise, in this “same shit different day” sequel.

The biggest thing that surprised me about this movie was not James Cameron’s much-heralded return to the franchise that made him a household name, it was the fact that it’s already been four years since the poor Terminator: Genisys.  4 years?  I think I’m suffering my own time-travel headache.  And really, the fact that this ..read more

Might as well get it out of the way early: I’m not a huge fan of the John Wick franchise.  As much as I love how they’ve thrust Keanu Reeves back into the spotlight and made him relevant again, they don’t do much for me, which is kind of weird, because I like generally like ..read more
