The Little Mermaid (2023), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1965) Movie Review and Deep Dives

I Watch More Movies Than You

Disney's live-action The Little Mermaid is in theaters now, and we cover it here in a spoiler free movie review for you! Does the new Little Mermaid live up to the hype, or drown with the fishes?! (fish can't drown I suppose, point remains) Is Halle Bailey next up and knock your socks off as Ariel!? Not to mention Javier Bardem as King Daddy, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, and so many more in the colorful cast of characters that makes up the live-action The Little Mermaid! We cover it and let you know if this movie is worth your hard earned time and money!
Spiderman, Spiderman, does whate.... GLITCH* Welcome to the Spider-Verse. In 2018 NOBODY was ready for what was coming. At first glance, geez yet another Spider-man movie, but you would be right and wrong in that line of thinking. Insert Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! Animation is cinema, and this movie is S-Tier and an Oscar winner! We take a deep dive into and through Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in which we cover what makes this movie so special, the incredible cast of characters (to name a few: Jake Johnson as the show-stealer, Nicholas Cage, Chris Pine singing a Spider-Man Christmas special, Shameik Moore, John Mulaney, Mahershala Ali, and so many more!) , and the most beautiful and out-of-this-world next evolution of animation you have EVER SEEN! Plus, an incredible story to boot, thanks to Bob Perischetti, Phil Lord, and co! Journey with us through what we argue may not only be the best Spider-Man movie ever, but animated, and even close to the top just as a movie in general. This movie is super special, take the ride with us in prep for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse which comes to theaters THIS THURSDAY! (6/1/23)!
Miles Morales dons the mask cooler than any spidey to come before him, don't miss his incredible story and a movie that truly encapsulates a comic book coming to life with state-of-the-art animation, unmatched creativity, and a story with unending heart! You will see visuals in this film you haven't seen before, we promise.
Up next, HORROR CLASSIC corner! Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)! That's right, the OG Body Snatchers. Directed by Don Siegel and starring Kevin McCarthy (ironic surname for this film), Dana Wynter, and Larry Gates, Invasion of the Body Snatchers invaded audiences over a half-century ago and yet our fascination with this pop sci-fi horror story has never wavered. This movie has been made 4 times, but you have to go to the beginning to see why and what's so special and unnerving about this incredibly creepy novel turned film. Beautiful black and white, 1950s Americana, oh, and you can't trust your neighbor. From the Hollywood Blacklist to McCarthyism and commies, this movie has been dissected and studied for years all the while the director says it is only surface deep. Regardless of the meaning you take from it, which is the beautiful thing about art, this is an awesome movie and we'd love to have you join us as we dive right into the 1950s, pods, and aliens and get into the headspace of the turn-of-the-century Atomic Age audience that would've sat down to enjoy this ride of a movie! Horror is where the heart is, and this movie absolutely lives up to its accolades.
Please consider leaving a 5-star review, we hope we earned it, and staying tuned to what we have coming next for all of you beautiful cinephiles! Until then, remember, we watch WAY more movies than you!
