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.        So we start off the movi

         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 .            The movie opens with several U.S. Department of

          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 Top 15 Most Anticipated Movies of 2021 .         #15.  Death on 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 Ogima  to mount an invasion of some sort, which cau
