WonderCon 2019: Justice League vs. The Fatal Five – Review
DC Entertainment premiered the animated feature over the weekend. How does it stack up?
PG-13 | Animation, Fantasy, Sci-Fi 1hr 17 min 30 March 2019 (USA) WB Animation and DC Entertainment have delivered approximately 34 feature-length films since their inaugural release, “Superman/Doomsday,” landed on DVD in 2007. While exponentially better than any of Marvel’s animated fare, the WB/DC animation department output is about as inconsistent as Clayton Kershaw in…
WonderCon 2019: “Stone Star”
ComiXology surprises by dropping new original mini-series just in time for WonderCon 2019
Anaheim – Just in time for WonderCon 2019 (March 29th-31st), ComiXology had a surprise up their sleeve by announcing and immediately dropping a 5-part sci-fi, action-adventure comic series by Jim Zub (Champions, Avengers: No Road Home) and Max Dunbar (Champions, Dungeons & Dragons). “Stone Star” is part of the ComiXology Originals line of exclusive digital…
Buttered and Salty: Us
In his second outing, Jordan Peele attempts to show audiences that there is a bit more below the surface.
R, 1h 56m – Horror, Thriller Opens Today On the way to the press screening for director Jordan Peele’s new film “Us,” I experienced a rare (for me) nose bleed. An appropriate foreshadowing for a horror movie! Like a nose bleed, a scary film can be surprising, uncomfortable, horrific (depending on how you got it)…
BUTTERED AND SALTY – GLORIA BELL
More great performances from one of America's finest
R, 1h 42m – Drama, Romance Now Playing (Opens wide march 22nd) Julianne Moore is one of the best actors working today, bar none, so it’s of little surprise that she delivers a tremendous performance in Sebastian Lelio’s “Gloria Bell,” which I can only assume will deliver the actress more nominations if the performance is…
Buttered and Salty: Captain Marvel
Find out if the future Avenger's first movie is marvelous
PG-13, 2h 4m – Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi Opens Today Starting with the Marvel Studios logo projecting images of the recently departed comic legend Stan Lee at the audience, “Captain Marvel” begins its journey with several winks and nods to the genre, essentially being a greatest hits package of the last ten plus years of the…
Buttered and Salty – Happy Death Day 2 U
The “Scream” meets “Back To the Future” meets “Groundhog Day” sequel doesn't quite save the day
PG-13, 1h 40m – Horror, Mystery, Thriller Now Playing “Happy Death Day 2 U,” the sequel to 2017’s “Happy Death Day,” is a “Scream” meets “Back To the Future” meets “Groundhog Day” attempt at the slasher-genre, only not nearly as good as any of those films. In this film our heroine from the first movie,…
Buttered And Salty: What Men Want – Review
The gender-flipping remake of the 2000 original doesn't quite know what audiences want
R, 1h 57m – Comedy, Fantasy, Romance Now Playing “What Men Want” has the same problem as its gender-flipped counterpart, “What Women Want,” in that neither of them really answer the question. I’m not completely sure they know what audiences want, either. In this new version, same as the old version, Ali Davis (Taraji P.…

BUTTERED AND SALTY – STAN & OLLIE – REVIEW
The legendary comedic duo finally gets a biopic they deserve
PG, 1h 37m – Biography, Comedy, Drama Opens Today Watching “Stan and Ollie,” a film that details the final few years of the iconic Hollywood pair, it took me about 45 minutes to finally accept what the movie was striving for. Call me cynical if you want, but I kept waiting for some villainous character…
Buttered and Salty – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – Review

SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE PG, 1h 57min – Animation, Action, Adventure Now Playing Belated Christmas gifts can be nice surprises, especially when it’s something unexpected and fantastic. Sometimes they make you feel like a kid again. What I unwrapped while watching “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse” took me back to the days where I would…

Buttered And Salty: If Beale Street Could Talk – Review
Director Barry Jenkins ends 2018 on a high note in this quiet and poignant drama
R, 1h 59min – Crime, Drama, Romance Now Playing After winning best picture for his first feature length film “Moonlight,” director Barry Jenkins has not suffered from the “sophomore slump,” delivering a nuanced and beautiful piece of cinema with “If Beale Street Could Talk.” Based on James Baldwin’s 1974 novel of the same name, Jenkins’…

BUTTERED AND SALTY: AQUAMAN
The King of the Seven Seas is all washed up on arrival in DC’s newest offering
PG-13, 2h 23m – Action, Adventure, Fantasy Expectations are a funny thing. The best thing to do when preparing to view or listen to a piece of art – theater, music, film – is to leave expectations at the door and let the creation wash over you. Unfortunately that didn’t happen while I watched DC’s…
