I was looking for a movie to catch tomorrow, when I found this new ‘Avengers’ trailer via Fandango. It shows all sort of interesting stuff–most of which I haven’t yet seen–and as far as I am aware it’s not available anywhere yet. It’s not embeddable yet, so I am posting a link to it.
“Wrath of the Titans,” officially premiered today, and I have to say that I have not seen it–nor intend to–for a few reasons: One of which is that I still remember “Clash of the Titans.” Then there’s the participation of Greg Berlanti, who’s I think was a huge contributor to the mess that was “Green […]
I have been re-reading H.P. Lovecraft’s “At The Mountains Of Madness,” and–as much as I hate to say it–I am somewhat glad that the powers-that-be at Universal pulled the plug (Sure, for all the wrong reasons, but whatever). Don’t take that to mean that Guillermo Del Toro couldn’t have made an engrossing and terrifying film; […]
I like this trailer because Guillermo Del Toro is credited as an executive producer, and as far as I know he isn’t one of those ‘executive producer in name only‘ types. Besides, anything with his name on it instantly gets bonus points, redeemable toward thought-provoking, kick-arse cinema (in my humble opinion). We’re introduced to Santa […]
Because what we needed was a reboot of “Total Recall,” the original a Paul Verhoeven film that, as far as I could tell, was done pretty well the first time. The new version is being directed by Len Weisman, who’s every film looks like huge set pieces with occasional character interaction thrown in.
Netflix has done plenty of stupid things, but their latest decision isn’t among them. They have decided, in a burst of sanity, to not take on “Terra Nova” after it had been cancelled by Fox. Netflix doesn’t have the deep pockets of a Twentieth Century Fox–and “House of Cards, and the participation of David […]
Here’s the trailer for Tim Story‘s “Think Like A Man,” which I am interested in seeing–not because it looks entertaining–it does–but because it’s directed by Tim Story. Story directed “The Fantastic Four,” and “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” among others, two films that weren’t that great, but whose weakness was due more to […]
“The Wraith” is a film that’s interesting in that it not only should be remade, but almost requires it. That being said, I don’t only want to point out what makes it such a mediocre movie – it’s too easy – but offer some advice which could improve it. Mike Marvin’s film, sadly, smothers a […]
This ‘Host’ has nothing to do with the (more than likely) far superior movie by Korean director Bong Joon-ho. Instead it comes to us courtesy of Stephenie Meyer, the writer of the ‘Twilight’ books. I am assuming that these aliens work by possessing an individual, if the trailer is any indicator.
Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games,” is making box office history, with the fifth best opening ever. Worldwide receipts have reached $214 million, on a budget of $78 million. This is what happens with you take a popular book–one aimed primarily at teenage readers–with a smart (and relatively inexpensive) advertising campaign by Lionsgate. Hopefully Disney and other […]
