The original Alien movie trilogy consisting of Ridley Scott’s Alien, James Cameron’s Aliens and David Fincher’s Alien 3 was all we had before the Alien saga was expanded upon with Resurrection and the prequels. So to see if the first three installments of the Alien franchise counts as a proper movie trilogy, I give an analysis of the original Alien timeline, from Sigourney Weaver’s journey in playing Ripley to everything involving H.R. Giger's Xenomorphs.

I admit, Readers. I haven’t really seen them for myself, but hasn’t stopped me hearing about the quote-unquote “travesties” Adam Sandler's original films he made for Netflix thanks to the deal that originally consisted of 4 films and worth 250 million.

Hubie Halloween is the 6th film from Adam Sandler’s Netflix deal. And after stating my opinion when I watched the trailer, followed by the full movie a bit later, the funny moments within it are just icing on the cake when it comes to the overall moral of the story.

The official trailer teaser for Paul W.S. Anderson’s upcoming Monster Hunter movie starring Milla Jovovich and Tony Jaa was released October 2020 after filming wrapped in 2019. But now that Capcom's fantasy adventure game adaptation has officially released footage, I can tell from the small bit of footage what the genre and plot points of the film are going to be.

Not only is Jamie Foxx Electro again in the third Spider-Man movie in the MCU, but now Doctor Strange is in Spider-Man 3 as well! And somehow, via various sources and videos presenting them as fact, these developments were being used as proof that this movie is going to be a live-action adaptation of the multiverse comic arc Spider-Verse for the 2021 movie. So I attempt to separate fact from fiction.

Aldis Hodge was recently cast as Hawkman in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s DCEU Black Adam movie. But despite Hawkman’s multiple origins, people are claiming the character is being race-swapped considering Hawkman’s history of being portrayed as a white man and Hodge being African American. But considering Hawkman’s origin, this change might be for the better.

And while people like me are stoked to see the adventures of Carter Kane and Sadie Kane, some are wondering whether or not this will link up with the Percy Jackson TV series Riordan’s developing at Disney Plus. So allow me to explain how the Kane Chronicles movies and the Percy Jackson TV show may and may not be connected.

Scream is a slasher horror franchise created by Kevin Williamson.

So along with Matt Draper, I’ll be giving a review and analysis of this film trio -- every time Ghostface was unmasked and the motives explained -- in order to reveal the storytelling hiding behind the mask.
