We’re Just Making This Movie So That We Don’t Get Fined: On Zack Snyder’s DC Comics Film Adaptions – Part 1

March 21, 2018 By Mark Stack 2 Comments

[This is the launch of a three-part series chronicling the creation and release of director Zack Snyder’s DC Comics film adaptations starting with 2013’s Man of Steel. Our focus will lie on the forces at play in developing these films and the arc of Zack Snyder’s overtures towards asserting creative control in the realm of a blockbuster […]

Go North is Less a Film Than an Empty Recreation of Better Works

January 13, 2017 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

Go North

It is not enough to merely be influenced by a work of art; an artist must find a way to incorporate this work and its impact on themselves into their own artistic statement. Without that, an audience is left with someone’s regurgitation of an 8th grade English assignment. The press release for the new film […]

Counter Clockwise’s Ending Takes it From Mediocre to Hateful Garbage

November 25, 2016 By Mark Stack 1 Comment

Counter Clockwise movie

The worst thing a movie can do is leave you unmoved. If you’re not going to be good, you can at least be memorable. For the majority of its runtime, George Moïse’s directorial debut Counter Clockwise is little else than a forgettable thriller with a sci-fi twist. That is until the last five or so minutes […]

Last Girl Standing Fails to Deliver on Its Promising Premise

November 4, 2016 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

Last Girl Standing

What happens when the credits roll on a horror movie? What happens to the “final girl” after she’s spent a night in the woods being chased by a serial killer who murdered all of her friends? These are the questions asked by writer-director Benjamin R. Moody in Last Girl Standing. Unfortunately, Moody’s answer to what […]

On Cody, Joyce Manor Get More Epic but Still Have Room to Grow

October 12, 2016 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

Joyce Manor Cody

I don’t know why Joyce Manor’s songs are generally short. Maybe it’s an economic thing; if your songs generally aren’t more than two minutes long then maybe you can fit more of them into an opening act or spend less time in a studio recording an EP/LP. It doesn’t matter. What I do know is […]

DC REBIRTH: Judge A Cover Not, Lest Ye Be Judged

May 28, 2016 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

For Rebirth (a relaunch that Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics, describes as an attempt to “give back [a] sense of hope and optimism” to their output), DC Comics plans to release a series of one-shot specials for most of their ongoing books that begin launching this June. The edict for the covers of these […]

What Are Thooose on the Set of Batman v. Superman?

October 22, 2015 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

The sequel to a film that received a middling response from critics and took in a modest (by blockbuster standards) box office, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was in a precarious position before reports of its ballooning budget started to make the news. After a string of expensive failures including Jupiter Ascending, The Man from […]

Anatomy of a Prologue Pt. 1: Sub-Diego Embraces the Sounds of Silence

October 7, 2015 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

The city of San Diego sunk into the ocean with issue #15 of the Aquaman series that ran from 2003 to 2006 after what one would assume was a rather demoralizing SDCC for series editor Peter J. Tomasi and series writer Will Pfeifer. The convention center along with the Gaslamp Quarter and even the zoo […]
