Imagine the best possible version of
#AvengersEndgame
and somehow the film still surpasses all expectations. I cried 5-6 times. It’s the most emotional, most epic, MCU film. A tribute to ten years of this universe and holy shit the great fan service in this movie. Soooo good.
Black Panther looks, feels and sounds unlike any Marvel film to date. A visual feast. Wakanda is amazingly realized, the antagonist actually has an arc with emotional motivations. Marvels most political movie. So good.
#BlackPanther
So Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the highest selling Blu-ray of 2018 beating out Black Panther. This seems to go against all the angry Star Wars nerd conspiracy theories. Oh and today it’s announced the Academy is honoring Kathleen Kennedy too 😛
Spider-man: Into The Spider-Verse is not only the best animated feature and best comic book movie this year, but one of the best movies of 2018 period. I don’t think another movie does a better job of bringing a comic book to life on the big screen.
What if Avengers 4 ends with Cap back in the past, reunited with Peggy and his ending is being returned to the past to live the rest of his days. It’s a way to remove him from the current era without killing him, allowing the possibility for Evans to come back down the line.
#InfinityWar
is everything you want, nothing you expect. It’s funny, surprising, dark, filled with delightful interplay between characters never seen on screen before. I know many filmmakers say they are trying to make a sequel in the vein of Empire Strikes Back, this succeeds.
Hot take: Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse deserves award buzz and nominations well beyond the Best Animated Picture category that it will probably be constrained to.

. We have an exclusive look at his short review of the Ti West film.
"Ti West's movies have a kind of energy that is so rare these days, powered by a pure, undiluted love for cinema."
#PreyMovie
star Coco had zero Hollywood dog training and was "kind of a disaster," but she was "such a delight to have around" that everyone was rooting for her.
"Lots of cheers would happen when we finally got a great take with Coco."
#CaptainMarvel
is a great origin story. Brie’s buddy cop chemistry with
@SamuelLJackson
is so much fun and her relationship with Lashana Lynch is the real heart of it. Ben Mendelsohn and the cat both steal the show.
This could be pretty HUGE. AMC Theatres is planning a $19.99/month subscription which includes premium formats (IMAX, Dolby, 3D), online ticketing, multiple movies in one day, repeat movies and more.
#Moviepass
might be in for some tough competition.
For anyone freaking out over Chris Evans saying Avengers 4 is his last marvel movie, remember that this doesn’t necessarily mean what you might think it could mean. I think marvels too crafty to allow him to spoil caps ending to the masses...

#Aquaman
is better than expected. Feels like a Marvel phase one movie, in a good way. It’s at its best when it’s having fun and not taking itself too seriously. Black Manta is great villain that comic book fans will love. Some truly spectacular one shots and good action.
Joker feels like if Scorsese made Taxi Driver as a comic book film. Amazing performance, great score, but I’m not sure it knows what it’s trying to say. Could potentially be dangerous for the wrong person to watch. Some fun twists that make me want to see it again and discuss.
Justice League is better than expected, but not a home run. The interaction between the team is a lot of fun. The film sends the DCEU in a hopeful direction in line with where the brand should be headed. Flash and Aquaman steal the show. Cyborg and villain are the weak links.
Director of Eternals Chloe Zhao is on stage. She says that she’s wanted to make a Marvel movie for so long. This film is about a group of immortals but explores what it’s like to be human.
Netflix original series: “oh this looks interesting, Netflix makes quality shows”
Netflix Original Movie: “What’s wrong with this movie that it’s direct to Netflix?”

#shazam
tonight. I’m embargoed so no reaction now. (you could however speculate why Warner Bros would want to screen a film so far in advance to critics).
#Shazam
is parts Home Alone, parts Big, a crowd pleasing family-friendly joy-filled wish-fulfillment superhero film which gets a bit over the top and cheesy at times. It’s fun and funny, and I was surprised at how much it wears it’s heart on its sleeve.
#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3
is set to drop just 51 percent in its second weekend at the box office.
It's also expected to pass $500 million worldwide, grossing more in 10 days than Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania made in its entire theatrical run.
WOW. Episodes 2 & 3 of
#TheMandalorian
are AMAZING. If you weren’t in love with chapter one, just you wait for two. People are going to lose their shits over this. It’s so much bigger than I imagined. I am so pumped. The future of Star Wars is very bright.
