In one important sense, filmmaker Chloé Zhao's cinematic adaptation of comics creator Jack Kirby's "Eternals" is incredibly faithful, in that both tried to establish a semi-independent universe-in-microcosm within a broader Marvel universe, and neither one quite managed to stick that particular landing. While "Eternals" has been review-bombed online, it matters why it doesn't work, which is far different from the reasons motivating a number of internet trolls with grudges. Zhao is to be commende...
They finally got it right. As a nearly lifelong fan of Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel “Dune,” I can’t pretend to be coming to director Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 movie adaptation of “Dune” — or, more accurately, of the first half of the novel — as an impartial or disinterested viewer. However, I hope I can persuade my fellow “Dune” fans, and those who might otherwise be intimidated by the story’s length or complexity, that it is very much worth your time.

Long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe grew into a multiverse through “Loki” and “What If …?” on Disney+, fans of the “Halloween” horror films were already well-acquainted with the concept of branching timelines.

Before 2018's "Bumblebee" rebooted the franchise, Michael Bay had directed all five of the preceding live-action "Transformers" films, but none of them could compare to the original animated film, 1986's "The Transformers: The Movie."

While Cody Morris isn’t a newcomer to the Western Washington brewing industry, he picked — by his own admission — one heck of a time to start a business in Mason County. After opening Epic Ales in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood more than a decade ago, Morris and his wife moved to Hoodsport with an eye toward starting a brewery in the area. Aside from Bent Bine Brew Co. in Belfair, they didn’t see many other options for breweries at that time. “We thought Mason County would offer a nice change of p...
