Mario’s Musings (Anniversary Edition): Batman Forever
Okay, I’m going to admit it, this MIGHT be my favorite Batman movie, but I can’t honestly explain why. Is it because it’s a Jim Carrey movie that just happens to have Batman in it? Is it because it has the hottest movie soundtrack of the 90s featuring Seal, U2, and the Offspring? It is because Val Kilmer plays perhaps the dumbest Batman of all time? Or is it because it’s the movie that made Nicole Kidman my first celebrity crush? Maybe all of the above?
Mario’s Musings (Quarantine Edition): Event Horizon
You know, seeing Sam Neill go from Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park to Dr. Weir in Event Horizon was like a sharp betrayal. Dr. Grant was that guy who, despite his hatred of kids, ends up bonding with a pair while they tried to survive the horrors of Jurassic Park. Dr. Weir, on the other hand, succumbs to the horrors of his creation and brings half the crew of the Lewis and Clark down with him.
Don's Digest: The Snyder Cut Lives
“It’s Alive. It’s Alive! It’s ALIVE!!” Okay, that quote is actually from the 1931 James Whale-directed classic, Frankenstein, NOT Justice League. However, it perfectly sums up the never-ending Internet movement known as #ReleasetheSnyderCut.
Mario’s Musings (Quarantine Edition): Die Another Day
In 2002, Pierce Brosnan starred as James Bond for the final time in Die Another Day, facing off against a rogue North Korean Colonel who wants to unite the Korean Peninsula under North Korean rule. Hm, that doesn’t sound TOO ridiculous.
