COMIC BOOK GUY (SEASON 31)

 

Welcome to the definitive breakdown of Hollywood’s latest attempts to cash in on our beloved comic book lore, as expertly judged by yours truly, a certified expert in caped crusades and super-powered heroics. From Ghost Rider: Damnation, where Aaron Paul’s flaming skull couldn’t burn away the generic script, to Gamera, the kaiju spectacle that dared to ask, “What if turtles were terrifying?”—and finally, Justice League War, which gave Michael Bay a Boom Tube and a blank check—this segment will enlighten you, dear reader, on how the studios keep missing the obvious genius of my personal fanfiction. Let’s get started before they greenlight a Bat-Mite movie....

GHOST RIDER: DAMNATION

Ghost Rider: Damnation roars in with Aaron Paul back as Danny Ketch for two hours of chain-whipping demons, David Duchovny sleepwalking as Mephisto, and Greta Lee’s Jezebel serving up so much chaotic energy you almost forget how painfully generic the plot is. Ancient maps, cursed towns, and a surprise ghost (rider) dad? Groundbreaking. The action is flashy, but the whole thing feels like it was written by a 14-year-old who just discovered heavy metal. At least there were no jelly beans.

GAMERA

Gamera stomps back onto the big screen with all the grace of a 200-foot turtle firing plasma balls and flying around with jet engines. It's a kaiju-smashing spectacle that’s equal parts glowing runes, family drama, and military standoffs, with David Harbour growling his way through as a grumpy marine biologist and Hiroyuki Sanada somehow being a kaiju expert. Gamera himself delivers the type of destruction we came for, complete with a polite turtle bow at the end. It’s big, loud, and unapologetically ridiculous — exactly what a Gamera movie should be.

BLACK WIDOW X HAWKEYE

Black Widow x Hawkeye is the buddy spy thriller you didn’t know you needed but got anyway, combining quippy banter, relentless action, and more covert betrayals than a soap opera on steroids. Mila Kunis steps into Natasha Romanova’s boots with a steely glare and a lot of flips, while Boyd Holbrook’s Clint Barton spends half the movie firing arrows and the other half cracking one-liners about his divorce. It feels a lot like an Avengers spin-off that wandered into the Mission: Impossible franchise. It’s a fun ride that doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but hey, sometimes you just want to see arrows explode and villains get EMP’d into submission.

JUSTICE LEAGUE WAR

Justice League War is what happens when Michael Bay gets handed $300 million, a roster of iconic heroes, and a mandate for maximum action. This film is two and a half hours of apocalyptic brawls, superhero banter, and CGI so dense it could bend light. The whole thing is a frenetic, over-the-top spectacle that somehow manages to juggle its sprawling cast and epic stakes. It’s bombastic and just self-serious enough to feel important. In other words, it’s exactly the Justice League epic we've all been expecting and desiring for decades.

CASTING GRADES (Season 31)

The Roundup with Jeff Stockton (Season 31 GRA Edition)

  

 

 

For this awards-centric edition of The Roundup, I will go through each category and tell you who I think should win the award, who I think actually will win the award, and who I think has no chance to win - followed by a brief thought on the category this season. And for this season - and possibly future seasons - I have decided to bring back my snubs for each category as well.

BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN
Who Should Win: Ocean Pawn
Who Will Win: Marvin the Martian
No Chance: Vindicators

Snub(s): N/A

Thought(s): It seems like the voters are into animated films these days, so I think Marvin the Martian could take a win here, although it should go to Ocean Pawn for its great poster featuring Marisa Abela as a mermaid warrior.

BEST SOUNDTRACK
Who Should Win: Ecstasy
Who Will Win: Scarface
No Chance: Animal Farm
Snub(s): N/A

Thought(s): Whenever possible, it seems like voters here like a good up-tempo soundtrack, and Ecstasy matches that completely.

MOST WANTED SEQUEL
Who Should Win: Friday the 13th: Blood Ties
Who Will Win: Gamera
No Chance: Ghost Rider: Damnation
Snub(s): Justice League War

Thought(s): Friday the 13th: Blood Ties completely revitalized the franchise in my opinion so it deserves the award just to make sure we get to see what comes next. 

BEST ENSEMBLE CAST
Who Should Win: Justice League Invasion
Who Will Win: At Night All Blood is Black
No Chance: Scarface
Snub(s): Willamette

Thought(s): I think this will be the first big win of the ceremony for At Night All Blood is Black, but it never feels like an ensemble film to me so shouldn't win this award.

BEST STARRING COUPLE
Who Should Win: Johnny Depp & Eva Green - The Diplomat
Who Will Win: Damson Idris & Micheal Ward - At Night All Blood Is Black
No Chance: Ralph Fiennes & Paul Mescal - The Beauty
Snub(s): Jamie Lee Curtis & Harrison Ford - Willamette

Thought(s): The Beauty is out for me due to its lack of acting nominations. I think Depp and Green worked against each other fantastically, so I'd like to see them get the win here.

BEST VILLAIN
Who Should Win: Daniel Cudmore - Friday the 13th: Blood Ties
Who Will Win: Damson Idris - At Night All Blood Is Black
No Chance: Giancarlo Esposito - Justice League War
Snub(s): N/A

Thought(s): I don't like when main characters are nominated as villains. You can't be a protagonist and a villain at the same time. Idris seems to have momentum, but I would much prefer Cudmore get an award for his silent, physical performance as Jason Voorhees.

BEST ADAPTATION
Who Should Win: At Night All Blood is Black
Who Will Win: At Night All Blood is Black
No Chance: Animal Farm
Snub(s): Gamera

Thought(s): At Night All Blood is Black deserves this award for being a critically acclaimed novel adaptation - a rare sight these days in LRF.

BEST ORIGINAL STORY
Who Should Win: Willamette
Who Will Win: The Diplomat
No Chance: The Eye of history
Snub(s): The Life Survey

Thought(s): Willamette is original and audacious, but there is steep competition, especially from the award-friendly The Diplomat.
 
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Who Should Win: Suzanna Son - Hideaway
Who Will Win: Lily-Rose Depp - Scarface
No Chance: Nell Tiger Free - The Beauty
Snub(s): Amber Heard - Friday the 13th: Blood Ties

Thought(s): This one could go a lot of different ways as there is no clear favorite. Just going on gut instinct with my choices here.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Who Should Win: Diego Boneta - Scarface
Who Will Win: Micheal Ward - At Night All Blood is Black
No Chance: Tommy Lee Jones - The House Down the Street
Snub(s): Jay Mohr - The Diplomat

Thought(s): My guess is that this one will come down to Boneta and Ward - I don't think voters are going to bite on Jones or Walken here.

BEST ACTRESS
Who Should Win: Eva Green - The Diplomat
Who Will Win: Kirsten Dunst - The Eye of History
No Chance: Jenna Ortega - Ecstasy
Snub(s): Madison Iseman - Hideaway

Thought(s): Voters like biopics, so Dunst has to be the favorite even if her performance was not as good as Eva Green's in The Diplomat.

BEST ACTOR
Who Should Win: Johnny Depp - The Diplomat
Who Will Win: Damson Idris - At Night All Blood Is Black
No Chance: Harrison Ford - Willamette
Snub(s): Tenoch Huerta - Scarface

Thought(s): My heart says Depp, but my brain tells me that Idris has everything in his favor to win here.

BEST DIRECTOR
Who Should Win: Michael Bay - Justice League War
Who Will Win: Michael Bay - Justice League War
No Chance: Luca Guadagnino - Hideaway
Snub(s): Woody Allen - The Diplomat

Thought(s): My money is on Michael Bay - not just for this one, but the work he has put in over the seasons on the Justice League franchise.

BEST PICTURE
Who Should Win: Justice League War
Who Will Win: At Night All Blood is Black
No Chance: The Diplomat & Scarface
Snub(s): Willamette

Thought(s): Obviously this one is down to At Night All Blood is Black and Justice League War. It really could go either way depending on the mood of the voters. If they are in the mood to give it to a blockbuster, Justice League War has it. Otherwise, At Night All Blood is Black is a fairly safe choice for the serious voter.

For Your Consideration with Reuben Schwartz (Season 31)

 

Welcome back to For Your Consideration with Reuben Schwartz! In this post, I will recap the nominations for the latest Golden Reel Awards, the various storylines going into the ceremony and look back to locate its place within LRF's history.

The Storylines

Last Resort Films has seen an influx of new talent in recent years. This is seemingly reflected at the Golden Reel Awards this season. In my 19 seasons doing this column, this this feels like the longest list of first-time nominees that I have ever assembled (so much that I had to leave a few names out of the highlights below). Of the twenty nominees in the acting and directing categories, only one has won a Golden Reel Award before. But more on that later!

When we last checked in, it was clear that At Night All Blood is Black was the front-runner for this season’s GRAs. Five rounds later, that is clearly the case as the Jimmy Ellis-penned film leads the pack with nine nominations. Fun fact: this could become the first film with more than four words in its title to win Best Picture. That being said, the rest of the three Best Picture nominees all come from the second half of the season so could that work against its favor?

Its biggest competition could very well be the other MUST SEE film of the season: Justice League War. On the surface, it has an uphill climb with only five nominations total and none coming from the main acting categories. However, there is a certain narrative that could portray the film as the crowning achievement of the studio’s DC Universe and a chance to reward that with awards gold. At the very least, it feels like that could help Michael Bay in the Director category.

Elsewhere, there are some fun storylines to follow in this ceremony. Johnny Depp and daughter Lily-Rose have the chance to become the first relatives to win acting awards at the same GRA category. Not only that, but they are also competing against one another in the Best Starring Couple Category. Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis has the chance to become the oldest Best Actress winner at 66 (Patricia Clarkson is the previous holder of this record). And returning to the top award, Justice League War is vying to break the seal on a superhero film winning Best Picture.

Previous Winners

Christopher Walken - Walken is the only actor with a chance to win their second GRA at this ceremony. The Life Survey marks the second time that Walken has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor. He previously won back in Season 9 for Spark of Madness.

Previous Nominees

Michael Bay - The Justice League War helmer makes history as the first director to be nominated for a GRA in back-to-back seasons - the shooting schedule for the two-part Justice League films certainly helps here. This is his third time being nominated after he was also nominated in Season 19 for Cocaine Cowboys. He has yet to win.

Johnny Depp - This is not Depp’s first time at the GRAs but he seemingly likes to take a long break between appearances. He was one of three nominees for the first ever Best Actor award, but lost to Josh Brolin in Jonestown. He was then nominated again in Season 17 for The Sandman but lost to Tom Cruise for The King of Hearts. And now 14 seasons later, he returns to vy for his first win with The Diplomat.

Jenna Ortega - This nominee made her debut back in Season 24 with Her Dying Wish, for which she was nominated for Best Actress. With Ecstasy this season, this now means she has been nominated for 2 of her 3 roles at LRF.

Kirsten Dunst - The Eye of History marks the second time Dunst has been nominated for Best Actress after Season 9’s Black Dublin. She was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her most recent role at the studio in Season 24’s Everything Will Be Alright.

The Newcomers

Timothee Chalamet - The star made his debut all the way back in Round 5 of Season 1 in Tarsem Singh’s Paradise Lost. Since then, he has been featured in a whopping total of 20 films at Last Resort Films. Hideaway, his 21st film, marks his first individual acting nomination.

J.C. Chandor, Luca Guadagnino, & Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese - Besides Bay, all three director nominees are making their first appearance at the GRAs. Chandor and Guadagnino are being nominated for their fourth and sixth films at the studio, while Mosese is nominated for his debut.

Damson Idris - And speaking of debuts, this Best Actor nominee is already making a splash after being nominated for his first role at the studio.

Best Supporting Actress - The entire field for this category is composed of first-time nominees, although they have all been at the studio before. Nell Tiger Free is the most experienced of the group with four films on her LRF resume, while Lily Rose-Depp has had three films at the studio. Thuso Mbedu and Suzanna Son both debuted in the last few seasons and are nominated for their second films.

Harrison Ford & Jamie Lee Curtis - These screen legend have starred in a total of eight films here at LRF dating back to Season 3. Willamette marks the first time that either has been nominated for a Golden Reel Award.

Jack Brown - After making his name on horror adaptations, Willamette marks the first nomination for Brown in the Best Original Story category. Last season marked the first time a film with a horror subgenera won the award (Klitih: A Way of Life) - will the LRF horror renaissance continue with a second straight win here?
