Godzilla vs. Kong Is Punch-Drunk Fun: Review
The Pitch: Godzilla and Kong square off in battle to determine who will be the planet’s apex predator. Five years have passed since the events of Godzilla: King of the Monsters when Godzilla established himself as Earth’s alpha Titan. Presently, only Godzilla and Kong remain active, and both are continuously monitored by Monarch, the scientific organization that tracks and studies Titans. Kong now resides in a large dome on Skull Island, designed to look like his natural habitat before the island’s climate shifted into near-constant hurricanes, but also to protect him from Godzilla. Doctor Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall) oversees his daily life along with her adopted, deaf daughter Jia (Kaylee Hottle), who can communicate with Kong through sign language. Jia and Kong’s connection is unmistake...
Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga Steal the Screen In Passing: Sundance 2021 Review
This review is part of our Sundance 2021 coverage. The Pitch: Based on Nella Larsen’s 1929 novel of the same name, Passing follows Irene (Tessa Thompson) and Clare (Ruth Negga), two mixed-race women who can walk through life passing for white. While Clare revels in this, Irene wears it with disdain, and when the duo reunite, all hell breaks loose up in Harlem. The Standout: It’s like director Rebecca Hall knew 2021 would be the perfect time to premiere her debut film at Sundance. Her first feature tackles the issue of colorism–something that’s so pervasive and transparent now more than ever. It’s a subject that’s previously been explored in films such as Queen, Imitation of Life, School Daze, and Skin, but Passing stands out by compounding the challenges of colorism and the violence of the...
Godzilla vs. Kong Trailer Teases Monster Mayhem In Your Living Room: Watch
Godzilla vs. Kong (HBO Max) Seek shelter because the monsters are due on your local Maple street. Legendary has unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated crossover blockbuster Godzilla vs. Kong, which arrives in your living room on March 26th via HBO Max. Directed by Adam Wingard (The Guest, You’re Next), the follow-up to both 2019’s Godzilla: King of Monsters and 2017’s Kong: Skull Island pits the titular beasts against one another in what will undoubtedly be a landmark real estate disaster. Judging from the trailer below, it would appear that Kong and Godzilla aren’t the only titans to terrify humanity. No, much like the other entries in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, there are all sorts of creatures to behold (and run away from). Doing all the sprinting this time around is The St...
The Stand Reboot Is Christmas for Stephen King’s Most Constant Readers: Review
The Pitch: Based on Stephen King’s 1978 novel, The Stand is an apocalyptic epic that sees 99.4% of the world’s population decimated by a lethal strain of government-stamped influenza. What humanity remains is spiritually drawn into a climactic battle of good and evil. On one end is Mother Abagail (Whoopi Goldberg) and her ragtag team of survivors out in the Rockies. On the other is Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard), a Canadian tuxedoed force who has amassed a devoted following nearby in Sin City. Place your bets. Danse Macabre: To say the road to this reboot has been long is an understatement. Prior to landing at CBS All Access, the project had been in development hell since the latter half of Obama’s first term. This is back when Warner Bros. initially envisioned it as a theatrical even...
