I like this trailer. It’s an added bonus that the lead in “Drug War” is Louis Koo, of “Accident.” I have been watching a bit of South Korean and Chinese films lately, mainly because they’re – for the most part – new to me. An added bonus is that, since they aren’t made for a […]
I have no idea, though neither does Margaret Lyons over at Vulture.com. She says that Christian Bale is definitely NOT returning to the Batcave. Whatever anyone thinks about Bale – or his temperament – the man is Batman in the same way that Robert Downey, Jr. is Iron Man. But seeing that Downey has not signed up […]
“Paul Feig’s “The Heat” is often amusing, though it doesn’t work as a buddy movie because Sandra Bullock’s character is so bland that Melissa McCarthy has to do all the heavy lifting.” Part of me was wondering if the reason I didn’t enjoy “The Heat” as nearly as much as I would have liked to – there […]
Why? Why? Why? Is there some vocal majority out there clamoring for a remake of “Jacob’s Ladder” that I am unaware of? It’s not like Adrian’s Lyne’s film is the best psychological drama/horror film ever made (though admittedly it not the hugest sub-genre out there) though it is competent and atmospheric (and strangely downbeat, which fit […]
“Quite possibly the best spy thriller – that isn’t exactly a spy thriller – I have seen in years.” I recall trying to watch “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” on Netflix a few months ago, and honestly I couldn’t sit through it. It’s not that it was a terrible film, it’s that it’s an incredibly predictable […]
Watching the trailer for “Planes,” the latest animated feature from Pixar, I’ve noticed a pattern of sorts, in terms of the films that they release: Namely, they don’t necessary make children’s films – despite dealing exclusively in animation of the computer generated sort – instead they make films that can be enjoyed by children, though not exclusively […]
The trailer for the CW reboot of “The Tomorrow People” has been live for a few days now, and while admittedly it isn’t enough to judge the final product by, the look doesn’t remind me of the original show at all. It looks a bit glossy, which happens when you actually have a budget to […]
Ashton Kutcher isn’t a great actor. Heck, I am not sure that’s he’s even a good one. That being said, looking at the trailer for “Jobs,” his movie about Steve Jobs and the creation of Apple, Inc., there are moments that he looks EXACTLY like Jobs. This doesn’t by any stretch means that Kutcher is […]
There’s been something about “Man Of Steel” that hasn’t quite sat right with me (beyond the way that killing seems for him seems to come dangerously close to a first-response tactic). Though I don’t have a problem with the idea that he killed, in and of itself – he has done so in the comics, […]
One of the cartoons I grew up on was “Battle Of The Planets,” which featured the adventures of G Force (which, according to Wikipedia I haven’t actually seen at all, which is a really odd feeling), five teenagers with special powers. They are, Mark, Jason (the bad-ass member of the team that seemed to defer […]
