Will Disney be forced to Reshoot Captain America: Brave New World after Trump's Assassination Attempt?

Image
Disney's reveal for their upcoming Captain America A Brave New World has finally dropped but that wasn't the only news that made big headlines during the weekend. Now unless you have been living under a rock or just arrived on Earth, I'm sure that you're aware of the assassination attempt made on former President Donald Trump who is once again running for the seat at the Whitehouse. So, as you can obviously tell by the thumbnail, that is from the teaser where former Army veteran and the first Super Soldier Isaiah Bradley makes an assassination attempt on President Elect Thaddeus Ross that's within contrast of the Trump shooting with both targets surviving the attempts. This begs the question, is there really such a thing as "bad timing " or more importantly, will Disney dial it back by removing Isaiah's scene considering recent headlines? The project had previously faced a few setbacks that prompted Marvel Studios to undergo extensive reshoots from Jan...

Captain America 4 Reveal Looks to be a "Red House Down?"

Image
So, I'm sure most of you out there caught that reveal teaser for Captain America Brave New World or as I would call it The Winter Soldier 2.0 which isn't a bad thing when you factor in the Tom Clancyesque intrigue. Most of you would notice right away that there's that same spinning kick move that Sam Wilson performed in the 2014 sequel and while I have had slight reservations when first hearing about this sequel slated for Valentine's Day 2025, this teaser shows promise. Well, it should after several script revisions and reshoots so I guess it makes sense that Marvel Studios should dial it down to one movie per year, as opposed to cranking out three a year, which in hindsight, did not pay off especially during the infamous MCU Phase four stage. So, now that we have finally seen a tease from this trailer, will Captain America A Brave New World help to reignite that Marvel magic from the 2010s? As someone who liked Disney Plus Falcon and the Winter Soldier except for that...

The Iron Claw will Grab You by the Heartstrings! (Review)

Image
Confession: I used to be a wrestling fan when I was a teen but went on to other interests, comics, action figures and eventually women. Learning how fake the sport was, made it much easier for me. But what wasn't fake was the mostly factual events shown during 2023's The Iron Claw, where Five brothers from Texas, entered the Wrestling circuit  under the tutelage of their stern father Fritz who began his career as a pro wrestler during the 50's  and was the patriarch of the family who came up with this pressured face grab technique he dubbed "the iron claw." This biopic featuring an Oscar worthy performance by Zac Efron, follows the trials, tribulations and tragedies of the Von Erich family as we witness life altering decisions which resulted in dire consequences for each brother. The pacing, setting and recreated vintage Wrestling footage were immersive while Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) Lily James and especially a jacked-up Zac gave exceptional portrays of their...

Kill (2024) Shanks the shit out of Bop!

Image
Bollywood movies are an acquired taste. If you like hot chicks, Bollywood movies have you covered. They blow away any Hollywood actress in the looks department. However, if you don’t like singing and dancing actresses you are fucked. Most Bollywood movies contain singing and dancing, but times seem too have changed. Akshay Kumar was considered an action star at one time and then along came Vidyut Jammwal, who took things to the next level with his Commando movies and kept the singing and dancing to a minimum. India finally had an action genre if you ask me, but people can correct me if I am wrong. Kill, however, was something I would not have checked out, if the weather wasn’t shitty and I felt lazy. and I found a review on The Action Elite, a site I highly recommend if you are looking for reviews on action movies most sites would never review. Action Elite said it was a violent movie and probably one of the best action movies of the year. He was not exaggerating. Kill blew me away. Af...

Beverly Hills Cop Axel "F" for Flop?

Image
Reviewed by Bop! The idea of a new Beverly Hills Cop movie excited me. After the abysmal part 3, I expected Murphy might want to have a redemption Beverly Hills Cop. The movie started well looking like a total 80s movie, but that ended fast. Axel Foley going around using the N-word disappointed me. I don’t remember him ever using the N-word in his other Beverly Hills Cops. Axel Foley is a gangster rapper all of a sudden? WTF? Of course, as usual in Hollywood tradition, the main character has to fuck up some black people, so that is what kinda happens. However, the Axel Foley vibe is there, so at least that is good. Axel Foley 80s style. It gets annoying when it turns out that Foley has a daughter. Why the fuck is it always that if successful movies get a sequel years and years later the main characters have children? Leave the children in fucking Disney movies instead of beloved franchises. That is their place. What is that emo parenthood bullshit that plagues movies? That emo bullshit...
