Had The Adventures of Tintin been a live motion picture rather than a motion capture-driven animated endeavor, it would have been compared to Raiders of the Lost Ark and Pirates of the Caribbean. As it is, however, with the cartoonish characters se...

Ant-Man, as obscure a superhero title as has been released since the inception of the so-called "MCU" (Marvel Cinematic Universe), may test the perception that Marvel can do no wrong. The general public knows Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain A...

If, going in to Bring Her Back, one wasn’t aware that the directors were the Australian brother team of Danny and Michael Philippou, it wouldn’t be a hard thing to guess. In term of style, aesthetics, and tone, this movie is strongly reminisce...
