I’m so excited for the new Supergirl movie! It’s coming to theaters and IMAX this summer, and Craig Gillespie is directing. I loved seeing Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El in the last few seconds of James Gunn’s Superman movie, and I’m thrilled she’s coming back to play the lead! James Gunn is also producing, which makes me even more confident this movie will be amazing.
The line “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse” in The Godfather was always meant as a veiled threat – a warning that refusing a request would lead to violence or death. Whether spoken by Michael to Kay or Vito in his office, the message was clear: comply with the Don’s demands, or face severe consequences. However, the phrase has become so widely used that its original, intimidating meaning is often lost in its more figurative applications.
Lilla and Nora Zuckerman are working on the next installment of the series through Spyglass. While their recent Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot was canceled by Hulu, they previously showran the popular (but also canceled after two seasons) Peacock series Poker Face. They’ve also written for and co-executive produced several well-known shows, including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Suits, Fringe, and Prodigal Son.
Some fans believe that Weir simply stated a harsh but truthful opinion about the current state of Star Trek, a sentiment many within the fanbase already felt. Interestingly, a recent adaptation of Weir’s own work has been quite popular, while Star Trek has had difficulty keeping viewers interested under Kurtzman’s direction.
Okay, so the new Supergirl movie seems to be diving deep into a much grimmer backstory for Kara Zor-El. James Gunn has hinted that we’re going to see a very different origin story than Superman’s. While Superman had loving parents from the start, Kara apparently spent her first fourteen years on a fragment of Krypton, watching everything and everyone around her perish. It’s a much darker, more traumatic upbringing, and interestingly, this version of the story leans more into her original 1959 comic book roots, portraying her as a survivor of Argo City rather than Krypton itself. It’s a fascinating shift that promises a more complex and emotionally resonant character.
The new Super Mario Galaxy Movie has the same strengths and weaknesses as the first film. It includes a huge number of beloved characters from the Mario universe and Nintendo games, but often feels overcrowded and doesn’t develop them very deeply. The movie moves quickly through important story details and interesting relationships to make room for jokes and introduce more characters. However, fans who liked the original movie and simply want to see more of the Mario world will likely enjoy it and hope for another sequel.
For over forty years, Nintendo’s Mario has expanded beyond video games into books, comics, movies, and cartoons. The 2023 film, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, made by Illumination and Universal, was popular despite receiving mixed reviews. The new film, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, appears to be following a similar pattern, launching with even more negative initial reactions.
Things are about to get much bigger! Princess Rosalina is captured by Bowser Jr., and it’s up to Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach to save her. This new adventure introduces a host of characters not seen in the first movie, including Rosalina, Yoshi, and Fox McCloud, creating a lively mix within Mario’s universe. While the results are mixed, the sequel expands the world with these fresh faces.
We were initially confused when we first heard about Eli Roth’s new movie. So many older horror films are being remade these days, we naturally assumed his project was a reimagining of the 1995 film Ice Cream Man. However, it turns out this Ice Cream Man will be a completely original story, and it’s scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 7th.
