Cats, the biggest disaster of a film to come out of 2019 (if not in the past decade), has become somewhat of a weird fascination of mine. Since seeing the movie with my sister last Christmas, we haven't stopped talking about the horrors of the film. Dame Judi Dench's human hand. CGI where the actor's […]

Cats was a terrible, no good film that should not exist, and now effects houses and artists across Hollywood agree. At Sunday night's Academy Awards, two of the film's stars, James Cordon and Rebel Wilson, took the stage to give out the award for Best Visual Effects. They were dressed like Cats characters, and were […]

While Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker is dominating the headlines as it posts an opening box-office number of $195 million, Cats is drawing everyone's attention and not for good reasons either. Universal is now faced with the reality of having the single greatest box-office flop of 2019 and perhaps of the last decade. Rather than back down […]

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker continued to rule the box office over the long holiday period, scoring $134.5 million over the five days. That puts it only -2% off the same pace of The Last Jedi, ensuring that it will cross $1 billion at some point in the near future. It only dropped 59% […]

By now we are all aware that Tom Hooper's Cats is bad. Our own Kaitlyn Booth panned it. If you know me, you know that I love terrible movies. I don't shy away from them. When the first Cats trailer dropped, I was aghast. The CGI, the movement, it was truly someone's fever dream. And I […]

In news that should surprise absolutely no one, Judi Dench described her Cats character as being transgender while on the press tour. Gender-flipping a character is not the definition of being transgender. It never has been and it never will be. It's one thing to cast a transgender person in a role. To describe one's […]

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker easily won the weekends box office. This will surprise no one. What is a surprise however is that is is way down from the openings of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Skywalker took in $176 million,  $374 million worldwide. That is good enough for the third highest […]

Cats is a strange beast to begin with, but the combination of strange CGI makes the translation from stage to screen even worse. [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Director: Tom Hooper Summary: A tribe of cats called the Jellicles must decide yearly which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new Jellicle life. […]

Fans of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty had been counting down the months and days until Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's animated mayhem returned to their screens once more. That wait ended early last month with season premiere "Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat" (reviewed here), where we got a crash course in "death crystals" […]

Now that HBO's wonderfully authorized pseudo-sequel to [REDACTED] and Dave Gibbons' celebrated comic book series Watchmen has been unveiled to the world – the world likes what it sees from Damon Lindelof's "remix". Even die-hard Watchmen purists appear to be slowly coming around – as they should. One group that appears to have not "come […]

The release of Cats so far been handled so poorly by Universal that it almost seems intentional. Do they realize that going up against the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is just a futile venture? The whole film seems awfully rushed (which could be because they wanted to make it in time to qualify […]

Taiyo Matsumoto is one of the more unpredictable and unusual manga creators out there. Past titles like Tikkonkinkreet and Ping Pong suggest his ideas are outliers in manga canon. They don't have the usual codified cute faces or awkward teen dramas of many series. Cats of the Louvre might be his most unexpected story yet. […]

Back in July the first trailer for the big screen adaptation of Cats dropped and there was quite the reaction to say the least. No one was really sure what to make of human/cat hybrids and despite it being Comic-Con weekend it became the talk of the town. It's been three weeks so things have […]
