This trailer looks like ‘The Dark Knight’ of the Iron Man. And I have to say, I liked it. I also liked that there was no metal suit is sight when the Mandarin (though Ben Kingsley’s accent struck me as a bit odd) showed up and that Guy Pearce, in the little bit of time […]
I have so far seen all the Presidential, as well as the Vice-Presidential, Debates aired, and I don’t intend to miss the penultimate one. What I have noticed is that if you want consistency of streaming, I would stay away from YouTube, ABC, and NBC. That’s not to say that their performance has not improved […]
I imagine it’s hard to make a horror film involving war, because war in and of itself is such a horrific experience that there’s little that you can add to make it any worse, which is probably why there aren’t too many of them. In fact, for awhile Su-chang Kong’s “R-Point” and Michael J. Bassett’s […]
Here’s the latest teaser from “Iron Man 3,” and it looks different from those that came before because it seems to hint at dangers not only for Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), but Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) as well. There’s no hint of the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) though I hope that they avoid putting […]
“Argo,” despite revolving around a fake film, is a very real, engaging movie. I recently tried to watch J.J. Abrams’ “Super 8,” but its depiction of the 1970’s for some reason felt like it was filtered through someone’s perception of what the era should have felt like, as opposed to being based upon any real metric. […]
It appears that the Netflix gods finally listened to my requests for some new horror. Just a day or so ago they started showing “Intruders,” “Hunger,” “The Devil’s Rock,” “Hidden,” “Road Kill,” “Cornered,” “Girls Gone Dead,” among others. Strangely enough, they have also included a bunch of Mario Bava films, such as “The House Of […]
Now this is interesting news. The original “Poltergeist,” directed by Tobe Hooper (or Steven Spielberg, depending upon how deeply you look into things) was not exactly in need of a remake, mainly because the original film, from 1982, holds up surprisingly well, in my opinion. That being said, with the whole found footage trend that’s […]
Scott Derrickson’s “Sinister” is an entertaining film, but a pervasive sense of illogic stops if from being truly great. Scott Derrickson’s “Sinister” is an entertaining film, though unfortunately it’s not nearly as good as it could be, and the responsibility for that has to lain at the feet of Derrickson, who wrote (with C. Robert Cargill) as well as […]

As I have mentioned before, I didn’t see Marc Webb’s Spider-man reboot, “The Amazing Spider-Man, because I had no need to see Spidey’s origin story again. Radioactive spider, bite; I get it. Let’s move on already. Shailene Woodley is going to play Mary-Jane Watson, though since I am unfamiliar with who she is, I don’t […]
