10 Things – SHANG-CHI and the Legend of the 10 Rings
I enjoyed the Kaiju and "Fantastic Beast" aspects (except maybe the thing with no face, Morris, was pandering a little too hard to the younger demographic). What Marvel does best is simmer down a large concept into the small and personal. Remove the criminal immortality of the Mandarin and the power of the 10 Rings, and basically the crux of the plot...

Movie Blog Post: LOGAN
Tinsel & Tine Focus: EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT LOGAN BEST WOLVERINE MOVIE By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor After the early press screening of LOGAN, I once again joined some of The Black Tribbles in an episode of “SPOILED TRIBBLES” where for a change, everyone was in agreement, Logan, directed by James Mangold, works on every level and in terms of X-men movies, for me, comes in 3rd behind X-men: Days of Future Past and X-Men:First Class, don’t know why I never did a post on First Class, but here’s a link to my 2013 The Wolverine.

I was rather hoping this could be a…

Podcast Movie Blog Post: GHOSTBUSTERS 2016
I'm sorry to say it, but this new version isn't very good. All the elements were there, good casting, Paul Feig director of Bridesmaids & Spy, fun CGI, but the beats, timing, laughs, are all a no go on this much anticipated vehicle, written by Katie Dippold & Paul Feig. It has its moments, and of course you're happy for each cameo; still, most of the humor lands like a wet noodle and it dawdles...
