For 2022, they have projects releasing in March, May, June, July, August, October, November, and December – that’s a lot of new material.

Everyone knows Spider-Man’s origin story. Lab created super spider, radiation, chomp, Peter Parker gets his powers. That’s why it was such a refreshing change to introduce the MCU Spider-Man of Tom Holland six months into his superhero career. The past formula was fully sidestepped. No spider bite scene, no awkward manifestation of the abilities, no showing up the bully. Just a (mostly) fully formed hero ready to avenge. Stark hits on his aunt and buys him a plane ticket to the battleground....

The Vietnam War did not end for thousands of soldiers who came back to the States and had difficulty fitting in due to PTSD, nightmares, and a hostile society, many of which were strongly against the war and saw them as murderers, not just kids themselves thrown into deadly battle scenarios. As a result, the transition was incredibly difficult and led to a whole group of people living as outcasts in their own country for being forced to do their patriotic duty....

Seijun Suzuki’s oddball artistic style is an acquired taste, as the director mischievously admits that in his films, time and space are nonsense. Filmed in Ether describes it for Suzuki-novices: “Take Quentin Tarantino’s pop-art stylings, Baz Luhrmann’s unhinged bravado, Nicolas Winding Refn’s neon fever dreams, and Wong Kar-wai’s liberal use of time and space, and throw all those elements onto a single canvas.” Those and many more directors (John Woo, Takeshi Kitano, Jim Jarmusch, and Damien Chazelle, to name a few) have admitted to being avid fans....

Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe need to take a break from the bromance. The director and his actor-muse have a mammoth failure in their latest collaboration, Robin Hood. It is by far their worst film together. Yes, it’s actually more horrendous than their wine romance, A Good Year. I didn’t think that was possible, but ego and laziness is a recipe for failure; no matter how talented you are. This version of Robin Hood is a prequel of sorts to the story we are all familiar with....

Following the immensely successful films The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, director M. Night Shyamalan released Signs in 2002. There have been numerous opinions about the film over the past two decades — some call it overrated, some may call it underrated. However, to many, Signs is Shyamalan’s undisputed masterpiece. Out of his diverse and controversial filmography, Signs is a film that’s actually aided by nostalgia and improves with hindsight. Signs stands apart from Shyamalan’s other films that rely on a major narrative shift, such as his near perfect The Sixth Sense, where the famous twist has become so well known it does not have the same impact on the viewing experience all these years later....
