Here’s some new photos from “John Carter,” based upon Edgar Rice Burroughs’s “John Carter: Warlord of Mars” novels. I don’t know about this movie. I haven’t read the novels it’s based upon, but to me it lacks the spectacle that something that costs in the neighborhood of $250 million should. That’s a lot of cabbage […]
I admit that when I first heard about the general disdain thrown the way of the ‘Twilight’ films, I joined right in despite never having seen any of them. In my defense, can you blame me? Sparkly vampires? Reproducing (as in sexually) vampires? I DON’T THINK SO. I grew up on films like “Fright Night,” […]
I don’t tend to lean toward the wonky side of tech issues, but when I learned about HBO Go and Max Go, I felt a comment was necessary. What HBO Go and Max Go are are ways to watch both HBO and Cinemax content on mobile devices. Which is a really good idea, though the […]
And it only took somewhere in the ballpark of four hours; though people who changed their passwords as a result of the outage may encounter a few minor problems with finding the correct one.
And I don’t mean “down” in the sense of something that’s cool, or rocks. Instead, I mean it in the way that something isn’t working, that should. I am hoping that the damage is limited to me–though I doubt it–because I am not sure how much more negative publicity Netflix, and their stock price, can […]
Christopher Nolan, director of the upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises” and Tom Hardy, who plays Bane, discuss the character, his fighting style, and motivations. Thanks to Deadline for the head’s up!
In the name of full disclosure, I am not a huge fan of DC Comics, and am irritated that one of their characters that I do happen to like, Green Lantern, was in such a mediocre movie. Booster Gold, according to the Hollywood Reporter by way of Comic Book Resources, is coming to SyFy. Why […]
“Limitless” on one level is a really enjoyable tale about a guy, Edward Morra (Bradley Cooper), who discovers a drug that enables him to use the portion of his mind that in most people goes unused; though I prefer the other, more subversive, unspoken level best. That movie is the story of a man that, […]
Netflix, looking to differentiate themselves from Amazon and Hulu, have begun to develop original series, with an unspoken benefit of a (mild) lessening of the hold that content providers (such as Starz which is pulling their content from the network in 2012) currently have. The development of original series is a smart move for the […]
I just watched the trailer for “The Hunger Games,” and it looks OK, but not quite distinctive enough for me to pay to see. Lionsgate has a lot riding on this film, and looking at the trailer I am not sure that it’s money well-spent. The movie–and hopefully the sequels–are based upon a series of […]
