Zombie beavers?! Why? That being said, I guess a movie that features zombified beavers shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to me, yet it is. Mostly, I don’t understand the choice of animal. I would think that zombie house cats would actually be more interesting. They’re certainly more common than beavers in most places, […]
Wha!? I just finished watching the trailer for Michael Bay’s latest ‘Transformers’ film, and I have to say that he’s had better trailers. This one has a particularly disjointed quality to it, and feels like random footage was thrown together with little logic. Which isn’t unusual for a trailer, though some sort of narrative cohesion […]
“Iron Man 3,” with the reveal that the character that everyone thought was the Mandarin was actually Trevor Slattery (supposedly an actor of some repute in British theater circles) was a pretty bold move. Some fans rolled with it, while others were a bit peeved. Myself, I thought it was a particularly ballsy move on […]
I really want to like this movie, but I am a little sensitive since being trade raped the last time. Marc Webb’s first Spider-Man film was such as colossal mess that the honorable thing to do would have been to take it out back and shoot it. Yes. Watching “The Amazing Spider-Man” felt exactly like […]
That title sounds like a Robert Ludlum novel. “The Falcon Quandary.” Marvel Studios, I think, has run into a minor speed bump. Since they have no right to use characters that are referred to as mutants–because of a licensing deal with Twentieth Century Fox, made when the company was flirting with bankruptcy–there are no super-powered […]
I remember watching the cartoon adventures of “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” when I was growing up. I think it was part of the “Rocky & Bullwinkle Hour.” Judging from the trailer, the filmmakers are making it a lot more wholesome than I recall it being. For instance, Mr. Peabody (the dog) and Sherman (the human) […]
I should begin by saying that I am not a huge Seth MacFarlane fan. The humor of many of his shows, like “Family Guy” and “American Dad”–I haven’t seen “The Cleveland Show” so I can’t comment upon it–is often in really bad taste. I don’t mind pushing boundaries, but it comes off more often than […]
“Take A Heaping Tablespoon Of An Actor Taking A Role Way Too Seriously, Add A Pinch Of Weirdness, And You Have A Half-Baked Vampire Tale” The ‘Argento’ in this case is Dario, the Italian giallo director best known for films like “Susperia,” “Phenomena” among many others. His latest work, “Argento’s Dracula” could have been a […]
“”That Awkward Moment” is a decent, sporadically funny dramedy about men growing up. And Zac Efron looks really good unclothed.” Which is is quite a bit, by the way. “That Awkward Moment” describes the point in a relationship where one of the partners, generally the woman, begins to expect a bit more than a lay, though […]
This turned up a week or so ago. Positive buzz is pretty high, though I am not sure why. After all, mirrors as conduits for malevolent spirits isn’t a new idea. Off the top of my head I recall “Mirrors,” its sequel as well as “The Boogey Man”– why do they call it ‘Boogeyman‘ anyway? As […]
