Anghus Houvouras chats with Dead Again in Tombstone star Danny Trejo… There was a time when the over the top action movie could find a place in theater. Where pulpy, high-excess cinema could work their way into movie theaters with some degree of regularity. At some point around the third Transporter movie fun action movies […]
The Most Disappointing: Marvel’s The Defenders
Anghus Houvouras on Marvel’s The Defenders… This one kind of smarts. Imagine after all the Marvel Phase One films you finally get to The Avengers and it ends up a poorly written dumpster fire. This was my experience with Marvel’s The Defenders. It’s absolute garbage. A poorly written piece of pure inevitability that never manages […]
Why Ed Skrein’s decision to walk away from Hellboy is a game changer
Anghus Houvouras on Ed Skrein’s decision to walk away from the Hellboy reboot following whitewashing criticism… Damn. That’s what I said out loud when I read Ed Skrein’s statement about why he was walking away from the Hellboy reboot. If you hadn’t already heard, Skrein had been cast as Ben Daimio in the Hellboy reboot […]
The Joker doesn’t need an origin story (or a solo movie)
Anghus Houvouras on the news that Warner Bros. is working on a Joker origin movie… There are few things in life that i can say are an absolute certainty. I know that 20th Century Fox will never make a good Fantastic Four movie. I know that the Universal Monsters Dark Universe might be the worst […]
Five actors who should play Obi-Wan Kenobi (who aren’t Ewan McGregor)
Anghus Houvouras with a satirical take on five actors who could replace Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi… Star Wars is back, baby! And better than ever. There’s a new Obi-Wan Kenobi movie in the works over at Disney, and I thought it was time to chime in with five actors who could easily step into […]
Why we need more Star Wars prequels
Anghus Houvouras thinks we need more Star Wars prequels… My old friend, writer Dean Lines made a post on Twitter the other day that shook the foundation of everything I hold dear, all the way down to my midichlorians. I've said it before and ill say it again. The one thing the world needs, is […]
Why was War for the Planet of the Apes a bust?
Anghus Houvouras on War for the Planet of the Apes… There are some things that defy explanation. Like how the Great Pyramids of Giza were built, what happened to the settlers at Roanoke, or why people watch The Big Bang Theory. Sometimes there are no answers. The question of why a movie succeeds or fails […]
Critical Thinking: Jordan Vogt-Roberts & The Value of Cinema Sins
Anghus Houvouras on Jordan Vogt-Roberts and the value of Cinema Sins… Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts delivered one of the most satisfying blockbusters of 2017 with Kong: Skull Island. Given the film’s popularity, it was only a matter of time before it wound up going through the gauntlet of YouTube channels that dissect pop culture like an […]
The Most Disappointing: Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Anghus Houvouras on Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets… TL;DR: Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a terrible movie & super disappointing because of how much I love Luc Besson’s earlier films. The long version: I love Luc Besson. One of his films, Leon: The Professional, I list in my […]
Why Rick and Morty is the best animated series ever
Anghus Houvouras on Rick and Morty… What are the best animated series ever produced? It’s something I’m going to explore in my next column.
