There are some photos from Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” over at Superherohype, though they don’t show anything of any real interest–by which I mean giant robots–so I am not too interested. So, until something worthwhile from the ‘Rim’ pops up, here’s the trailer for Pascal Laugier‘s (He also did “Martyrs,” which I haven’t seen) […]
Nowherelse.fr has a teaser for Iron Man 3 which looks very, very geniune. You don’t see anything other than the ‘Iron Man 3’ logo, but coupled with the accompanying sounds it implies a darkness that the prior films didn’t have.
This is so cool. According to Hollywood Reporter Joss Whedon is developing a television based upon S.H.I.E.L.D (Supreme Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) for ABC. The best thing about this is that a S.H.I.E.L.D series can deal with more traditional threats as well as those of a super-powered nature. It’s uncertain if Whedon will […]
I am always on the lookout for entertaining movies, though I prefer science fiction, horror, thrillers, and comedies, pretty much in that order. Though I tend to watch virtually any film that isn’t too amateurish, and not drek like “The Human Centipede” (which may have some redeeming qualities, which I might actually notice if I […]
“”ParaNorman,” particularly its story, is not as innovative as its animation, though it often uses established tropes in an interesting fashion.” Chris Butler and Sam Fell‘s “ParaNorman” is an interesting film primarily for two reasons: The first is that it’s made in stop-motion, a painstaking method of animation that involves figures built upon a metal […]
It needs to be said that I have never been a huge fan of DC Comics. Despite enjoying the adventures of Green Lantern and Batman when I was younger, I always preferred Marvel overall. That being said, I don’t want their films to fail because if enough superhero films fail, it threatens all superhero films […]
Excuse me for a moment. That’s better. Now that I found a little release, I can ask the question I find myself asking way more often that I would like lately, which is: Why in (insert perferred deity here) name are they remaking David Cronenberg’s “Videodrome?” Cronenberg himself attempted, not nearly as successfully, to revisit […]
What happened to Tony Scott was tragic, though suicide generally is. Whatever one may think about the act, whether or not it’s right, wrong or whatever, concerns me less than the blatantly lurid tendencies that seem to emerge when such things happen to famous people (the non-famous don’t seem to attract as much attention, for […]
This is an interesting bit of news. According to Vulture, by way of Superherohype, there’s talk of a reboot of Dave Stevens’ ‘Rocketeer,’ which I think is a really cool idea. The original film, directed by Joe Johnston, most recently of “Captain America,” didn’t do too well at the box office, earning almost $47 million […]
I spent all last Thursday as an extra on Netflix’s upcoming series, House of Cards (an Americanized version of a British series), and had a great time. Prior to “House of Cards,” I worked as a policeman on “The Dark Knight Rises” (TDKR). You would think, since TDKR had a massive budget compared to “House of […]
