In one week, Warner Bros. Pictures THE FLASH, directed by Andy Muschietti (the “IT” films, “Mama”) opens in theaters on June 16.
Ezra Miller reprises their role as Barry Allen in the DC Super Hero’s first-ever standalone feature film. Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?
“The Flash” is a film that puts the fan-favorite DC Super Hero front and center in a big-screen outing filled with epic action, surprising humor and heart, along with the wish-fulfilling superpower of the ability to bend time… and change the past. Reuniting iconic and beloved DC characters across timelines– Batman, The Flash, Supergirl and another Batman!–and featuring one of the canon’s towering villains in Krypton’s own General Zod, this film distinguishes itself as a cinematic spectacle that elevates the genre through the unique lens of Andy Muschietti.
And the character of The Flash is more than deserving of such extraordinary treatment. Introduced in 1940 as “quicker than the rapidity of thought” in Flash Comics #1, he was created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert. Later, with Fox partnering with Carmine Infantino on 1961’s Flash of Two Worlds, The Flash became the first character in comics to play with a multiverse.
In creating THE FLASH, filmmakers were influenced by two seminal works within the comic book canon:
Flash of Two Worlds (Gardner Fox and Carmine Infantino, 1961), where a Silver Age Barry Allen finds that by vibrating his molecules at a certain frequency, he is transported to another version of Earth, where he meets a Golden Age Jay Garrick
Flashpoint (Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert, 2011, a five-issue miniseries), where Barry Allen wakes to discover that his world has changed, and only he is aware of the difference between his real world and this altered one.
To get you pumped for the opening of the film, WAMG brings you the Top 5 movies to catch before you head out to cinemas to see THE FLASH.
Superman and Batman are in a race against time to stop a world-killing asteroid from destroying the Earth. The mission is complicated by the fact that it is primarily made of kryptonite, so Superman will need Batmans resourcefulness and connections to stop it, all the while President Lex Luthor sees this as an excuse to demand all superheroes do his bidding. Naturally Superman and Batman decline and decide to solve this problem on their own, all the while evading all other superheroes that are out to get them. This is fifth on our list because is shows that Batman is way more than just a man in tights, way more. He is a leader and the brains behind the Justice League.
2013’s MAN OF STEEL stands right up there with 1978’s SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE as one of the best films on the famous Kryptonian. The music for Zack Snyder’s MOS from Hans Zimmer goes hand in hand with John Williams’ soaring score, Michael Shannon’s General Zod is as menacing as Terence Stamp’s in SUPERMAN 2 and, sigh, we never thought anyone could fill the red boots of Christopher Reeve’s Kal-El… and then along came Henry Cavill. Once again the familiar phrase of Truth, Justice and the American Way was an emotional mantra and as the SUPERMAN movie poster tagline said, “You’ll Believe A Man Can Fly.” Indeed we did.
The four hour version is a triumph and made us want an additional four.
An army of persuasive fans, and along with one very colorful, newly-shot scene, after four years in 2021, director Zack Snyder returned to the DCEU to complete his vision. Even before the 2017 version of the movie was released, there were rumblings from the fans. First it was quiet. Give us the Snyder Cut. After the movie hit theaters in November 2017, it only got louder. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, people demanded, circulating petitions and pleading with the studio. Once fans learned an actual Snyder Cut existed, they were overjoyed and doubled down on their efforts. It worked. The extended Justice League allowed for extended world building. Never before seen, existing-footage scenes with Deathstroke (Joe Manganiello), Calvin Swanwick/Martian Manhunter (Harry Lennix), and Ryan Choi (Zheng Kai) rounded out the mythology. We got the opportunity to watch our heroes join forces to eliminate Steppenwolf, much to the chagrin of New God Darkseid, making his first appearance. With his soaring music cues, Tom Holkenborg’s score brought the film and earth’s defenders to new heights.
Producer Deborah Snyder said in our interview: “We were planning a 2nd and 3rd Justice League movie where we would be also able to complete the arcs we had fully fleshed out. The idea was to meet Cyborg, who was set to be the heart of this movie. At the time we hadn’t come up with a Cyborg standalone, but that was our plan. So, we did the deepest dive of the movie into Cyborg’s backstory and what makes him tick.”
The OG, Michael Keaton plays Batman/Bruce Wayne and Jack Nicholson, The Joker, go head-to-head in the ultimate BATMAN movie. Danny Elfman’s booming score, Bob Ringwood’s colorful costume design and Tim Burton’s direction instantly made the 1989 movie the ultimate superhero film by which all are measured. Anton Furst was the amazing English production designer who won an Academy Award for overseeing the design of Gotham City and the iconic Batmobile.
In an effort to change his mothers fate, the Flash causes a temporal ripple that creates a fractured reality where the Justice league has never formed, Superman does not exist and a war rages between Wonder Woman’s Amazons and Aquaman. Flash teams up with Batman and Cyborg to restore the timeline. Staring the voices of Justin Chambers, Michael Jordan, Kevin Mckidd, Dee Baker, Steve Blum, Kevin Conroy, Sam Daly, Dana Delany, Grey DeLisle, Cary Elwes, Nathan Fillion, Vanessa Marshall, Ron Perlman and, James Stuart.
This is number one on our list because it is the animated adaptation of the DC Comics story Flashpoint and THE FLASH Movie is an adaptation of both.
THE FLASH ensemble also includes rising star Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon (“Bullet Train,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”), Ron Livingston (“Loudermilk,” “The Conjuring”), Maribel Verdú (“Elite,” “Y tu mamá también”), Kiersey Clemons (“Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” “Sweetheart”), Antje Traue (“King of Ravens,” “Man of Steel”) and Michael Keaton (“Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Batman”).
THE FLASH is produced by Barbara Muschietti (the “IT” films, “Mama”) and Michael Disco (“Rampage,” “San Andreas”). The screenplay is by Christina Hodson (“Birds of Prey,” “Bumblebee”), with a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein (“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming”) and Joby Harold (“Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” “Army of the Dead”), based on characters from DC. The executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman and Marianne Jenkins.
Joining director Muschietti behind the camera are director of photography Henry Braham (“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “The Suicide Squad”), production designer Paul Denham Austerberry (“IT Chapter Two,” “The Shape of Water”), editors Jason Ballantine (the “IT” films, “The Great Gatsby”) and Paul Machliss (“The Gentlemen,” “Baby Driver”), and costume designer Alexandra Byrne (“Doctor Strange,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”); the score is by Benjamin Wallfisch (“The Invisible Man,” the “IT” films).
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film, THE FLASH. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theaters in North America on June 16, 2023 and internationally beginning 14 June 2023.

When Barry Allen, A.K.A. The Flash finds he can use his superpowers to travel back in time, he races back to save his family. But he soon learns that changing something in one timeline affects the multiverse—he’s now in a world with his younger self, a very different Batman and a Kryptonian he’s never met. With General Zod poised to destroy Earth, can Barry and this new team save the world and reset the universe? Warner Bros. Pictures presents “The Flash,” the DC Superhero’s first ever standalone movie. Only in theaters June 16.

THE BOOGEYMAN opens with a scene that will give any parent the heeby-jeebies, and sets your skin on edge right away. From there, we quickly move to the movie’s main protagonists adjusting to their new lives after a tragic death in the family of the mother. We find that the oldest daughter, 16-year old Sadie, is having the hardest time with it, going so far as to borrow a dress from her mother’s closet to wear to school, in an effort to still feel some connection to her mother. The father, Will Harper (Chris Messina), a psychiatrist, seems unable to address the new family situation, avoiding talking about his recently departed wife even with his kids. His youngest child, 10-year-old sister, Sawyer, is dealing with it in her own way, although she is too young to make much sense of it as yet. This is all of the setup you get, and all the setup you need. Director Rob Savage (DASHCAM, HOST) doesn’t waste a lot of time with unnecessary detail of their lives, and you only find out the details of the mother’s passing later in the story, as they become necessary.
It’s at this point that a mysterious new patient, Lester Billings (David Dastmalchian), unexpectedly shows up at their home desperate to unload his grief over the deaths of his children and leaves behind an evil presence that dwells in the shadows and feeds on the suffering of its victims.
If you caught the photograph of him as the father of the child in the opening scene, you’ll know that this can’t be good, but he starts talking, you find out that it is way worse than you even saw at the beginning of the movie. From this point on in the movie, the pace picks up to a sprint, and continues until the very end.
“The Boogeyman” was first published in Cavalier Magazine in 1973. It was then included in Stephen King’s book of short stories, Night Shift, which was published in 1978. His interpretation of the creature hiding in the closet became a template for the genre moving forward. Screenwriters Scott Beck, along with his childhood friend and writing partner, Bryan Woods, came up with the idea for the movie, and co-wrote the initial screenplay. The duo also wrote A QUIET PLACE and the sci-fi thriller 65.
The movie is dark most of the time, setting up the ambience and mood, but is never so dark that you can’t tell what’s going on, and it really plays up that feeling of seeing things just out of the corner of your eye, hearing things, and the heart-pounding score by composer Patrick Johnson is absolutely flawless for putting you on the edge of your seat. The talented team behind the camera helping Savage’s vision come to life includes director of photography Eli Born (“Hellraiser”), production designer Jeremy Woodward (“Antebellum”), film editor Peter Gvozdas (“The Purge”) and costume designer Kari Perkins (“Boyhood”).
Savage lets the audience decide if it’s a monster story or an allegory for confronting grief by creating just the right atmosphere. Robert Redford’s 1980 masterpiece, ORDINARY PEOPLE, expertly captures the heart-wrenching disintegration of an American family, whose inability to talk about their grief rends them apart. It’s almost the same of the Harper family and Savage’s terrific film says if the Boogeyman never showed up, this family might have completely dissolved, but because it did, they have to work together and they have to address what’s going on.
The true star of the movie is Sophie Thatcher, who carries most of the movie as Sadie, and does a great job of portraying a daughter disappointed with her father for shutting her out of his feelings, all the while caring for her baby sister (Vivian Lyra Blair) who begins to see the manifestations of the boogeyman shortly after the visit by grieving father Lester Billings.
It’s here where we discover The Boogeyman is an ancient, predatorial entity that’s been around since the dawn of time, it’s attracted to pain, and it preys on fear. It literally sees fear. That is what feeds the Boogeyman. It finds people in distress and cultivates dread, growing it until it’s ready to harvest, and then it moves in for the kill.
The film has its fair share of jump scares, most of which are completely enjoyable, and keeps viewers on the edge of their seat, especially for the entire second half. It’s also fair to say that while all of the actors here pull their weight and give great performances, Marin Ireland as the widow of Lester brings the real heat of showing a woman who has lost everything and is now consumed with vengeance.
In the end it’s a tale of dealing with grief and acceptance, and all of the emotions that can haunt a person who suffered a great loss, while putting maximum scare into the viewer. Anyone thinking you can’t get a really good horror film with a PG-13 rating will be delighted to find out how much so if they go to see this. THE BOOGEYMAN is that unique scary movie that does give us the monster in the closet. This is why we go to the movies… for that thrill, that scare… that thing that makes our heart race and maybe gets a scream out of us.
In her review of the film, Cate Marquis wrote of ABOUT MY FATHER, “Maniscalco and De Niro together are the major highlight and reason to see this light little comedy. As stubborn father and wheedling son, they are a delight together and sometimes even hilarious.”
The hottest comic in America, Sebastian Maniscalco joins forces with legendary Italian-American and two-time Oscar® winner, Robert De Niro (Best Actor, Raging Bull, 1980), in the new comedy ABOUT MY FATHER. The film centers around Sebastian (Maniscalco) who is encouraged by his fiancée (Leslie Bibb) to bring his immigrant, hairdresser father, Salvo (De Niro), to a weekend get-together with her super-rich and exceedingly eccentric family (Kim Cattrall, Anders Holm, Brett Dier, David Rasche). The weekend develops into what can only be described as a culture clash, leaving Sebastian and Salvo to discover that the great thing about family is everything about family.
