No film feels more ready for autumn than Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Turning leaves and characters that leave, take each other to school, fall back, and fall in love are what it brings (or bRings).

Strongly checkommended.

In a theater and after Wonder Woman’s credits, I heard a man say “That sucks” (since he realized that her movie did not have a post-credits scene).

Posted on June 11, 2017 by zfthrimej

Yet the absence of that type of scene works well for the film. Post-credits scenes are to the Wonder Woman movie what men are to the Amazons (and also what the “Godkiller” sword is to Diana). She, the Amazons, and … Continue reading →

A TV series is a ride that opens more than one eyelid. That program and/or craft is steered by a pilot.

Posted on October 4, 2016 by zfthrimej

Each character on that ride could represent an episode. People (who follow a pilot) make a show or a ship float.

The possibility of Terrence Howard’s James Rhodes joining Captain America’s side (instead of Iron Man’s)

Posted on August 16, 2015 by zfthrimej

could make the conflict in Captain America:Civil War more interesting and more realistic (since Terrence Howard’s James Rhodes was replaced by Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes and James Rhodes is supposed to be Iron Man’s close ally).

Any sequel or movie that features a weird team of underdog characters may have a considerable challenge to match or improve upon the quality and depth of the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” film

(which could be the Inception of dystopian historical fiction movies). Bonus points for its soundtrack, its thoughtful use of Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle”, and its subject matter matching its Memorial Day weekend release.
