A “QUICK!” Review of “Clayface (2026)”

  Clayface is an incredibly entertaining movie! The origin story for Matt Hagen is compelling and seeing his slow descent into villainy is a fun watch. The body horror is excellent and visceral while the revenge plotline is relatively satisfying. The movie does have a very weak romance, love triangle plotline that is a bit of a drag. The film does also feel a bit too long for the story being told with many moments of slow pacing. It could really have been cut down by 10-15 minutes. Still, this is a bold movie from DC Studios and a surprisingly solid entry in the oversaturated ‘Superhero’ genre. I’m excited for what DC studios does next!

A Review of “Supergirl (2026)”

  I enjoyed Superman (2025), even though there were some definite flaws with the film. Still, I thought it was good start to the new soft-rebooted DC cinematic universe. Now, we have the next entry with Supergirl which was based on the phenomenal comic ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" by Tom King which I adore. Is this another step forward for the DCU or a sad step back? Let’s talk about the new actress to play Supergirl, Milly Alcock. I think she does a great job as she is incredibly fun and charismatic as Supergirl. She also really delivers on the more jaded, pained and the slightly quirky nature to the character.

People have been fan casting Momoa as Lobo for years, including the actor himself. I can safely say that he is absolutely terrific! He is perfect casting and steals every scene he is in by emb...

A Review of “Superman (2025)”

  It’s been 12 years since Superman’s last solo outing, and this new film not only marks his return but also launches James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe (DCU). I’ve always had a soft spot for Man of Steel (2013), though Batman v Superman (2016) left me disappointed. So the question is: does this fresh reboot soar or crash? The new cast is superb. David Corenswet had enormous shoes to fill, but he absolutely delivers. He captures Superman’s inherent kindness and warmth, while adding a layer of vulnerability that makes the character feel more grounded and human. Rachel Brosnahan is equally strong as Lois Lane, bringing intelligence and charisma to the role, and her chemistry with Corenswet is genuine and compelling. Nicholas Hoult is a standout as Lex Luthor, delivering an obsessive, petty, and sharply calculated performance. It’s exactly the kind of Lex we’ve been missing. Among the supporting cast, Nathan Fillion is a delight as the cocky Guy Gardner Green Lantern, bu...
