Chuck's Movie Breakdown

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, you guys have seen me review both DC and Marvel movies in the past, not to mention last February, during 90's Throwback Month , I reviewed The Matrix . Now, I'd like to talk about a Marvel movie from 2003 that I would describe as being Spider-Man  meets The Matrix . I am, of course, talking about the Mark Steven Johnson directed superhero action film Daredevil . Based on the Marvel superhero created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, Daredevil  centers on Matt Murdock, a lawyer from the Hell's Kitchen part of New York City, who was blinded as a child, but the accident sharpened his other four senses to superhuman sharpness. While the movie was pretty much smeared by the general public in its theatrical release, does it deserve such a level of hatred even today? Let's find out as we take a look at Daredevil . Please note that I'll be discussing the R-rated director's cut, not the PG-13 theatrical cut.       ...

         Hey guys, Chuck here. I will be the first to admit that I'm not a fan of found-footage cinema. I'm aware of the popularity of found-footage movies, but I find it to be a lazy style of filmmaking done as a cheap, lazy gimmick to make more money at the box office by spending less money on production cost. However, there is one exception I will make to not liking found-footage movies, and that is with the 2008 monster movie: Cloverfield . Produced by J.J. Abrams, director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens  and the 2009 reboot of Star Trek , and directed by Matt Reeves, director of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes  and the upcoming DC Comics film The Batman , Cloverfield  depicts the events of a giant monster attack and is shot in the found-footage style to increase the tension and fear, making it a much scarier experience. But does a cheap gimmick make it a great movie? Let's find out as we look into Cloverfield .        ...

          Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, it's a new year, which hopefully means new movies arriving in movie theaters. I only say hopefully right now due to the fact that my local theater is still closed due to COVID-19. However, I'm a bit of an optimist, so I am confident that things will get better, and we'll get to go back to movie theaters again soon. So, since I couldn't give you guys a Top 10 favorite movies of 2020, I'm giving you guys my Top 15 Most Anticipated Movies of 2021 . Here we go.         Before we get to the main list, here are a few honorable mentions:  Venom: Let There Be Carnage  starring Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson; Spiral  starring Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson; Halloween Kills  starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Judy Greer; Space Jam: A New Legacy  starring Lebron James and the Looney Tunes;  A Quiet Place Part II  starring Emily Blunt. Okay, now onto the list of films that are my T...

         Hey Guys, Chuck here. Hope you all enjoyed the holidays, and are having a great start to the New Year. As promised, I'm  kicking off the new year with one of the last new releases of 2020 that I watched: We Can Be Heroes . Released on Netflix back on Christmas Day 2020, this family-friendly superhero action movie was directed by Robert Rodriguez, and while initially announced as a spiritual follow-up to his earlier film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl , the film is set in a completely different world from that earlier film. So, don't expect to see many references to The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl . But, let's dive right into We Can Be Heroes , which has been blowing up Netflix over the past week since its Christmas Day debut on the platform.          The movie establishes that the Earth is protected by a team of superheroes called the Heroics. One day, a fleet of alien ships arrive from the planet Ogim...
