Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 22, 2023

1. Disney remakes a classic fairytale or animated feature (live action/3D/etc)
2 ...

Dumb can be dangerous

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 15, 2023




So we love our clever villains, our smooth criminals, the conniving sly characters that use their brains to thwart the heroes and be a real menace. Like the riskiest game of chess, the hero has to match that kind of villain in strategy and smarts as well as determination, prowess ...

One of my favorite tropes (at least I think it's a trope. Not sure how common it is) is the “unknown hero”.

Banes at 12:00AM, July 6, 2023



This year is the 30th anniversary of The Fugitive - that is, the Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones movie. It's a phenomenal movie, and maybe the high bar for the…I guess, the “mature thriller”, we could call it.
