MARVEL TELEVISION: THE CONUNDRUM OF THE MCU

Sometime between the release of 2018's "THE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR" and 2019's "THE AVENGERS: ENDGAME", Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige made an announcement that stunned a good number of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans. He claimed that the ABC series, "MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D." was never part of the franchise. Not only did this news stun a good number of fans, but me as well. ( Collapse )

"COWBOYS & ALIENS" (2011) Review

Ever since its release during the summer of 2011, many have been contemplating on the box office failure of "COWBOYS & ALIENS". I could go over the many theories spouted about its failure over the years, but I would find that boring. I am simply aware that the movie had only earned $34 million dollars short of its budget. And all I can say is . . . what a damn pity. ( Collapse )

Below are images from the 2011 science-fiction/western movie called "COWBOYS & ALIENS". Based upon Scott Mitchell Rosenberg's 2006 graphic novel and directed by Jon Farveau, the movie starred Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford: ( Collapse )

"FROST/NIXON" (2008) Review

Beginning on March 23, 1977, British journalist David Frost conducted a series of twelve (12) interviews with former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon, in which the former commander-in-chief gave his only public apology for the scandals of his administration. Some 29 years later, Peter Morgan’s play – based upon the interviews – reached the London stage and later, Broadway, with rave reviews. Eight years ago, Ron Howard directed the film adaptation of the play, starring Frank Langella as Nixon and Michael Sheen as Frost. ( Collapse )
