"Onslaught", I assume, is inspired by the nightmares of a paranoid doomsday prepper who spent too much time reading about the deep state on Reddit. But no need for tin-foil to survive this plot - just some trailer park wits, a military vet, and Carl Winslow. www.kuow.org/arts-life/20...

#TheEndofOakStreet is fun in a screaming-at-the-screen "Well, don't do that!" kind of way. It's a thrill with a few laughs, but after a strong start, it quickly leans into cliches and a story that can only progress if characters continue to do really, really stupid things.

#BrandNewDay brings the Spectacular to #SpiderMan movies. It's not only amazingly visual. I'm impressed with how well this movie evolves and matures the Spider-Man story. Definitely see this one on a big screen. Full review at KUOW.org. #SpiderManBrandNewDay #Marvel

#TheOdyssey has been adapted across books, TV, and film, but perhaps not quite like @odysseymovie.bsky.social . But what is your favorite version? "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Perhaps the 1990s "Odyssey" miniseries? "SpongeBob SquarePants Movie"? www.kuow.org/arts-life/20...
kuow.org
Is 'The Odyssey' better than 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'?
Everything about "The Odyssey" is epic: the original story, the size of the IMAX film used to created it, its cast, and the overall effort to bring this ancient story to modern audiences.

#Supergirl will make #ComicBook fans happy. But will it draw a widespread audience? Starting with 2025's #Superman, DC hit the restart button on its cinematic universe. Now, it needs to keep up momentum with audiences. Can Supergirl do it? www.kuow.org/stories/supe...
kuow.org
Can 'Supergirl' keep DC's new cinematic momentum going?
"Supergirl" lands in theaters with a road-tripping space adventure that will have comic book fans applauding, but won't likely win over movie-going audiences at large.

#DeathOfRobinHood has a bloody, violent start, but ends up being such a beautifully shot movie. Each frame is like an oil painting from long ago. This is definitely a movie to see on a big screen, as if you're in a museum, taking in works of art. www.kuow.org/stories/deat...
kuow.org
Is that a classic oil painting or 'The Death of Robin Hood'?
"The Death of Robin Hood" is a film filled with contrasting ideas. It is historical and a bold new take on the legendary character. It is violent and peacefully beautiful. It's a bit of a bummer, and ...

If you want to get an idea of the hollow, fluorescent-lit voids that stir such an uneasy feeling in #Backrooms, imagine a dead mall, or what #Seattle's office market currently looks like. This is a #movie you'll want to see in a theater. www.kuow.org/stories/back...
kuow.org
The '90s are scary now: 'Backrooms' terror is as deep as its never-ending liminal space
With minimal promotion, "Backrooms" will come as a surprise to many audiences, and that was by design. But don't miss this highly original scary movie about liminal spaces.

With apologies to my fellow bookworms, the Project Hail Mary movie was better than the book 😬 But not all film adaptations are crowdpleasers (*cough cough* Eragon). I talked to my @kuow.org Meet Me Here co-host @dyeroxley.bsky.social about the good, the bad and the ugly of movies based on books.

'Starfleet Academy' isn't for everybody, but 'Star Trek' still is (Did 'Star Trek' jump the targ?)
"Star Trek," a fan frontier, with voyages spanning multiple series. Its 60-year mission has explored humanity's potential and a hopeful future. But with the newest string of shows, has "Star Trek" boldly gone off the rails? Even if it has, the ideals that hold up "Star Trek" require longtime fans to make room for the newest series.
