Venom , the latest Marvel (anti) superhero film, limps into theatres this weekend with an unimpressive 30% on Rotten Tomatoes . However, I'm sure that won't prevent it from making boo koo bucks at the box office. What I'm more interested in is how Venom will fit into the annals of film history -- because it does! While this isn't my first Venom mashup video (see my The Venom Drop teaser trailer), I do think that my new mashup, All Of Venom , really speaks to what Venom  ultimately will be remembered for:  Tom Hardy 's committed physical performance and how it plays as a companion piece to the 1984 romantic fantasy comedy All of Me starring ( Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin ). In Venom , Hardy's character Eddie Brock gets possessed by an alien symbiote and must learn to share his host body with said being. In All of Me , Martin's character gets possessed by the soul of the recently deceased Edwina Cutwater (Tomlin) and -- yup, you guessed it -- must lea...

Two words: Hype kills. Although Marvel's Black Panther is already estimated to pull in gargantuan numbers at the box office this opening weekend, I'm afraid the overblown hype surrounding the film will outshine any of the film's actual achievements. It's better than Marvel's last outing, Thor: Ragnarok -- but that's not really saying much. Still, Ryan Coogler 's ( Fruitvale Station )  Black Panther offers an agreeable serving of impressive special effects, beautiful art direction and most importantly, a sense of optimism. And these days, we need that more than ever. Chadwick Boseman  reprises his role as T'Challa (a.k.a. Black Panther ), Prince of Wakanda, a fictional country in Africa as envisioned by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We first met Black Panther in 2016's Captain America: Civil War , where we also witnessed the death of his father King T'Chaka ( John Kani ) after a bombing of an international conference in Vienna. The openi...

Josh Brolin is certainly the "Marvel Man of May." On May 4, 2018 Brolin once again hits the screen as the super villain Thanos in  Avengers: Infinity War. Then, two weeks later he'll command the screen as the  X-Force hero from the future Cable in Deadpool 2 . It's crazy. Brolin should give his agent an early Christmas gift. This morning 20th Century Fox dropped the latest trailer for Deadpool 2 and it gives us our first real taste of what to expect from Brolin's Cable. Of course, because Deadpool ( Ryan Reynolds ) always has tricks and jokes up his sleeve, it's best to just stop reading this and watch the trailer below.

I'll go ahead and admit that I turned off the DVD for the first Thor film less than halfway through. So it's safe to say that I walked into this third installment with little to no excitement (and this is coming from someone who actually enjoyed 2012's The Avengers ). It'll be to the relief of many Thor fans that Thor: Ragnarok maintains a welcome playfulness that more or less keeps it buzzing along for most of its running time. There are certainly some laughs to be had, but I don't know how I feel about a Marvel superhero movie depending on the DNA of a comedy as opposed to the DNA of an exciting and involving action epic. But that's an entirely different conversation for a different time. Taking a cue from this year's far superior Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , Thor :  Ragnaro k banks on the nostalgic appeal of everything retro, from using  Led Zeppelin 's   "Immigrant Song" as its musical theme to the art direction of the planet Sa...
