Wow… Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is the most movie I think I’ve ever seen. It’s a wildly over-stimulated, hyperactive, visually stunning, hyper-kinetic, full-tilt boogie, dazzling, chaotic pieces of pop art sensory overload. And it somehow works perfectly. It could have … Continue reading
I saw this one pop up at my local theater for an early Thursday showing so I went in blind… only to be kind of baffled. It was only during the closing credits that I realized it was based on … Continue reading
