After suffering his first defeat, Superman (David Corenswet) finds that the battle for the hearts and minds of the people can be a lot harder than simply saving them. But while he attempts to be a beacon of hope, a maniacal Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) does everything he can to stop him, manipulating events from the shadows. In rebooting the DC  universe, James Gunn found himself a mammoth task. Thankfully - and rather unsurprisingly - it is one he has more than risen to. The other thing that won't surprise you is the soundtrack. It's very cool, very eclectic. In other words, very James Gunn. Now, it might say " Superman " on the poster, but in many ways this is so much more than a movie about the man of steel. There's no dipping your toe into the water with this one. Instead of coming up with a simple origin story to introduce us to this new world, Gunn has decided to throw us head first into the deep end of his DCU , and I'm very glad he did. Not only does he...

A young group of workers trapped on a Weyland-Yutani mining colony, locked into almost inescapable work contracts, look to escape their torment by salvaging the necessary equipment from a derelict ship caught in their planet's orbit. They just need Rain (Cailee Spaeny) and her brother, Andy (David Jonsson) to gain access. Unfortunately, what looks to be a quick and easy job proves to be anything but when the ship's true purpose is revealed, and the scavengers discover they are not alone. There is something odd about Fede Alvarez's entry into the Alien  franchise, and that is how beautiful he and his team have been able to make this miserable looking future. If nothing else does - and that is entirely possible - the visuals will blow your mind. This of course extends to the Xenomorphs and their Facehugger friends. The latter of which get to be even more terrifying this time around. Even the sunless 'Jackson's Star' mining colony is a sight to behold in its grimy,...

Sony ’s attempts to create a live action Spider-Verse without Spider-Man continue with  Madame Web . This latest endeavour follows Cassie Web (Dakota Johnson), a paramedic in New York who is about to discover she has some incredible psychic abilities that allow her to see many things, including the future. But without a wall-crawler for her to help, Cassie is faced with the unenviable task of protecting three teenage girls (Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced) from a not Spider-Man  spider/man villain. Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim) wants to kill these girls before they get a chance to kill him at some point in the future, just like his vision said they would. But unknown to everybody, Ezekiel also has a connection to Cassie. Wow! At this point, is anybody not surprised that Sony is still churning out these movies? Seriously, with the exception of Venom  - and I know I'm on an island here - does anyone actually enjoy this  live action Web-Head-light  S...
