The trailer to the sequel to “21 Jump Street” is out and instead of high school, Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) go to college. I didn’t see the original film, because I thought it looked stupid, though at the time I had no idea how likable Tatum seemed to be. There’s a joke […]
Some people prefer Marvel heroes, like Spider-Man and The Avengers, while others prefer DC, and characters like Batman and Superman, though the line between the two for most is a bit blurrier than that. For instance, while I generally like Marvel, I grew up on the giant-sized adventures of Batman, which I fondly remember my […]
The teaser (I still can’t quite get over the idea that studios are actually making teasers for trailers. It wasn’t that long ago that trailers were teasers for movies, but I digress) for Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” has arrived, and it’s full of wonder. And corn. That being said, you can see Nolan is trying to […]
Let me first come out and say that I think Tom Cruise is a pretty competent actor. That being said, I don’t think he can ever be great at his craft because he can’t seem to get over himself. ‘Edge’ is Cruise-centered, as usual (which makes sense when you’re the star of a film) but […]
I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of Gareth Edwards‘ “Monsters,” mainly because there weren’t enough ‘monsters’ in it. That being said, if this teaser is any indicator, I may be eating my words because his Godzilla is looking pretty awesome (though I am not too crazy about the squared-off jaw).
“Jupiter Ascending” is the latest film from the Warchowski siblings, and appears to involve a girl named – I kid you not – Jupiter and some other stuff about other intelligent life in the universe. The effects look spectacular, though the narrative appears more than a little bit muddled. I assume that later trailers will […]
“Wesley Snipes is a bonafide action star, though “Gallowwalkers” isn’t his best turn.” Before Wesley Snipes went to prison for tax evasion, he completed a film called “Gallowwalkers.” It popped up on Netflix yesterday, and since it’s been such a while since he’s been on screen, I really wanted to like it. I hoped that […]
The trailer for Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” just popped up, and it feels – and sounds – like a Michael Bay Transformers film. So many cars flying about, so many explosions! This must be what happens when a director being given too much money is combined with rebooting a property too soon: You […]
I hate to admit it, but “Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Maximum Overload” is much, much better than 2012’s “Amazing Spider-Man.” It’s made for kids, but works really well for adults, too. And it’s particularly cool the way whenever something crashes into something else that it breaks into squares – because everything is made up of […]
We weren’t present at his conferences with his mutant charges. Who knows what he said or how he conducted himself? Though I wouldn’t put my money on this interpretation.
