Netflix is currently airing Seasons One through Five of AMC’s monster hit drama, “Breaking Bad,” which is awesome. What’s not so awesome is that they have yet to get the remaining episodes of the Fifth, and last, season. This means that there are all sort of spoilers floating about, which I and anyone else that […]
“James Wan’s “Insidious, Chapter 2” is a worthy successor to the original film.” “Insidious 2,” James Wan’s sequel to his 2010 film, is a very effective sequel. Like it also revolves around Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) and his family, which continued to be plagued by some very malicious ghosts. This time the star of the […]
I have to admit that while I enjoyed the first Captain America feature, I didn’t love it. Sure, it had all the elements for an awesome adventure: direction by Joe Johnston, director of the underrated “The Rocketeer”; a Marvel character steeped in Americana and history, and the Tesseract (known as The Cosmic Cube in Marvelese). […]
Truth be told, I am less interested in “Escape From Tomorrow” as a movie than Disney’s non-response response to its production. The makers of the indie film not only made their film at Disneyland, but appropriated many iconic ‘Disney’ elements in its advertising, such as the font that the film’s title is in, as well […]
I should mention that I have said the same thing about “Tron: Legacy,” and while there appears to be minimal movement on that front, all signs seem to indicate that it is happening. Guillmero Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim,” which cost somewhere between $180-200 million to produce, and earned just over $407 million worldwide – most […]
This trailer is a bit of a prequel to “Riddick,” currently in theaters. It’s a cool way of getting a little more background before seeing the film.
““Riddick” rocks, and a R-rating ensures that there are curses and gore aplenty.” Mild spoilers below. A lot of reviews I have read of David Twohy’s “Riddick” take issue with the idea that it resembles the film that introduced the character Richard B. Riddick, “Pitch Black.” Using this logic, John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot […]
I have never been too fond of boxing films. Their goal is generally an inspirational one, but truth be told I don’t tend to find two guy pounding each other into incoherence all that inspiring. Peter Segal’s “Grudge Match” looks to be more geared toward the the comedic than the inspirational, which is good. Plus, […]
“Darkness Falls” is the twentieth episode of the first season of The X-Flies, and despite its ‘monster of the week’ nature, is a favorite of mine. The story takes place in Olympic National Forest, in Northwest Washington State (though I am reasonably sure that it really doesn’t). A logging crew vanishes without a trace, though […]
Hmm…I had no idea that Jonathan Glazer’s “Under The Skin” was a sci-fi film. I’ve heard of it, but for some reason I thought that it was in the same ballpark as the Meg Ryan film “In The Cut” – which, despite never having seen it – isn’t. Watching the trailer – and Scarlett Johansson’s […]
