Krypton Review S01 E01 “Pilot” #Krypton

Travis

Krypton is a new television series developed by David S. Goyer with Damian Kindler for SyFy. I first heard of David S.

Some of his screenwriting works include the Blade trilogy, Christopher Nolan’s…

Star Trek Discovery review Episode 11

Travis

In Godfather 3 fashion I wanted to title this review “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.” The difference from episode 10 to episode 11 is simply night and Day. This episode breaths life back into the whole series for me and gets me so incredibly pumped up for what is to come next. It should be noted that the show seems to have an excellent writers room and this episode is no exception. This episode was written by one the co-executive producers of the…

The Future Of DC Movies

Walt

Justice League is history and according to experts will finish less than 300 million gross domestically and less than 700 million worldwide. Not good for a movie with heavy reshoots that probably put their budget over 350 million with marketing costs of well over 200 million. The 400 million plus overseas country by country will not return 400 million but far less than that, so you have to say The WB lost money on the theatrical version of the movie. Yes, we still have DVD and Blu-ray release and that…
