Universal Pictures attempts to launch a shared “Dark Universe” for its iconic monster properties with writer/director Roberto Orci’s adventure-horror franchise reboot of The Mummy; a movie at war with itself in terms of tone and pacing & which stumbles in its effort to deliver a coherent plot and storyline.

Director Patty Jenkins brings DC Comics’ famed Amazonian warrior princess Wonder Woman to the big screen in her first solo adventure and the DC Expanded Universe’s first truly great film.
It’s the summer movie season and Cult Following is here with an all-new episode where we talk in depth about ALIEN COVENANT, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES and Victor shares some of his thoughts on WONDER WOMAN. Plus, we talk about retro toys, MAD MONSTER ARIZONA and The Pinhead Experience, the Phoenix Comicon, HOUSE OF CARDS Season 5 and much much more!
I need to start this off by saying that I love Guy Ritchie films. Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels, in my opinion, is a Cinematic masterpiece that I could watch over and aver again and never get tired of. It’s edgy cut scenes, flashbacks, colorful characters and witty dialogue make it a staple in my movie collection. Unfortunately, all of the things that usually make a Guy Ritchie movie great are all the things that didn’t work in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
