In the history ofcrummy superhero movie creative decisions, outright shelving a nearly finished Fantastic Four movie, originally slated for a theatrical release in 1994, has gotta be up there. It's a bold move that left all the creative participants in the project shocked to the core and turned this Roger Corman-produced motion picture into a legend overnight. 25 years later, no official release of the project has seen the light of day, it's stuck in some vault somewhere at Marvel Headquarters. While we all wait for the Disney monopoly, er, corporation, to maybe possibly release this thing once and for all, the documentary Doomed! The Untold Story of Roger Corman's Fantastic Four allows the creative participants of this fabled film to finally tell their experiences about being a part of the big blockbuster that never was.

Catch A Ride With The Thoughtful And Thrilling Cop Car
For the last two years, I've been trying to parse out exactly who director Jon Watts is. Ever since he got the gig to direct Spider-Man: Homecoming back in June 2015, I've pondered how a guy who had been flying so under my radar managed to nab one of the most coveted directing gigs in Hollywood at the time. While technically the indie horror film Clown was the first feature-length movie Jon Watts ever helmed, Cop Car was released first in a number of countries including the United States and was the motion picture that apparently caught the attention of Sony/Marvel to the point that they handed him the reins to Spidey.
