MILES MORALES IS CONFIRMED TO BE SPIDER-MAN IN 2018 ANIMATED MOVIE!!


The debut of Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in last year’s Captain America: Civil War received a lot of attention (helped greatly by the fact that Spider-Man: Homecoming comes out in six months, on July 7, 2017). 

 However, when Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios made their deal in early 2015 to collaborate on Spider-Man movies, these live action movies were not the only films included. Sony also immediately started development on an animated movie to be written and produced by the team of Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the guys responsible for such movies as The LEGO Movie, 21 Jump Street, and the Han Solo spinoff prequel.

 Over the last two years, there has been speculation about what Sony Animation planned to do with this second “version” of Spider-Man, but until this week, there had been no official confirmation. Well, it’s official now: when the animated Spider-Man movie is released on December 21, 2018, the young hero under the mask will be Miles Morales. 

 Miles Morales got his start in Marvel’s “Ultimate Universe,” after that version of Peter Parker was killed and Morales, a teenager of Black Hispanic descent, took his place. Since then, Miles Morales has also joined (the older) Peter Parker in the main Earth-616 universe (along with Spider-Gwen, but that’s another story). As Lord and Miller put it, “what inspired us the most is that anyone can wear the mask. You can be any race, creed or color.” It’s not yet known which villains Miles Morales will face when he makes his feature film debut next Christmas, or who will be cast to voice him. The animated film will be codirected by Peter Ramsey (Rise of the Guardians) and Bob Persichetti, an animator who worked on DreamWorks movies like Shrek 2, Monsters vs Aliens, and Puss in Boots.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
