And I don’t mean Hugo Drax, the villain in 1979’s James Bond adventure, “Moonraker.” Casting for Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy” have been going on since mid-2012, and recently StarLord has been cast. Now another member of his crew, the lethal alien Drax The Destroyer, may have been found. According to Collider, Jason Momoa […]
It should go without saying that “A Good Day To Die Hard” is an awful title (and for reasons other than I am not sure a day exists that’s good to die on). Every time I hear it, I feel like wincing, so awkward and ungainly it sounds. Though I never did anything with the […]
My copy of Mark Andrew Smith’s “Sullivan’s Sluggers” arrived today, and it’s gorgeous. It’s hard-bound, and included a poster, along with a protective slipcover and my picture does not do it justice. It also feels well put together, and substantial. If you haven’t taken a look at Kickstarter, either in a long time, or ever, […]
David O. Russell may sound Irish, but it isn’t written as ‘David O’ Russell.’ It was careless of me, and I’ll try to keep an eye on such things in future.
Let’s be clear: I don’t think Rob Zombie is a very good director. In fact, his movies on one level can be seem to be primarily vehicles for employing his wife, Sherri Moon Zombie; which I have nothing against because such nepotism in Hollywood–or anywhere else for that matter–isn’t exactly unusual. Judd Apatow gives his […]
“David O’ Russell’s “Silver Linings Playbook,” shows that it’s sometimes hard to separate the keepers from the inmates.” The first part of this review is more a commentary upon the behavior of the director, David O’Russell. If such things don’t interest you, please continue reading below the second Youtube clip. I saw David O’ Russell’s 2009 film,“Three […]
Deadline has an interview with Gale Anne Hurd, who is an executive producers of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” She speaks about the controversy over Glen Mazzara leaving the show, though (not surprisingly), says little that we don’t know already. I get the feeling that we haven’t heard the last about this matter.
A movie named “Big Ass Spider” probably doesn’t put one in the mind of “Remains of the Day” or “The King’s Speech;” which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. What it does do is to remind me of those Saturday afternoon matinee-type movies that came on Channel 11 (WPIX) in Manhattan when I was growing up, […]
The latest game in the ‘Dead Space’ Saga is here, and proves that space isn’t the only place where no one can hear you scream. I have played the original game on my BriPad 2, though I imagine that the version on consoles like the XBox 360 or Playstation are much more elaborate because of […]
Marvel Studios and James Gunn have found their Starlord, and he is Chris Pratt. Most recently he’s starred in “Zero Dark Thirty” as well as “Parks and Recreation” on NBC. I haven’t seen ‘Zero Dark’ and don’t watch “Parks and Recreation,” so I have no idea who this guy is, though after reading on various […]
