I assume that this footage for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” is from the last Comic-con. It shows the most detail of the robots yet, as well as a bit of character development. And I can’t see why Michael Bay would ever be worried by ‘Rim,’ after all, if the trailers are to be believed, […]
Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind.
Sorry about the odd spacing issues. I have been working with an app that publishes to WordPress called Metropolis, which seems to be doing funky things with my spacing. There has been much in the news recently about Zach Braff financing his latest film, “Wish I Was Here” through Kickstarter. This is an issue that’s […]
Guillermo Del Toro rocks. Why, you ask? Sure, it has more than a little to do with him being the director of “Hellboy,” “Hellboy 2,” “Blade 2,” The Devil’s Backbone,” Pan’s Labyrinth, among others. It also has to do with tenaciousness, and following your dreams, no matter how bleak things may seem (it also never […]
I like Louis Leterrier as a director. His reboot of “The Incredible Hulk” captured the essence of the character without being as angsty as Ang Lee’s somewhat torutured version. He also seems to approach his projects with genuine passion for the subject matter. Then again, he also directed the reboot of “Clash Of The Titans,” […]
“”Oblivion” Is A Beautiful Film, Though Muddled Storytelling Almost Scuttle It.” When critics criticized Joseph Kosinski’s “Oblivion” for the ideas it borrows from other (often better) films, they weren’t kidding. Some instances fall more in the area of homage than outright theft, though there are moments, particularly the last half hour or so, that are so blatantly […]
“Hemlock Grove” is an oddly captivating series, less for its content – it lacks the blatant sexuality of “American Horror Story” as well as its hit-or-miss shock value – than the fact that Netflix is releasing it the same fashion as they did in the case of “House of Cards,” which is the entire series […]
“R.I.P.D,” or ‘Rest In Peace Department’ stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, though why does it feel as if this film is sneaking in under the radar? The trailer plays like “Men In Black,” except with – I assume – a much, much smaller budget and various varieties of the undead, instead of aliens. It’s […]
I don’t want to like this movie. I am a Marvel fanboy and think that Superman is rather lame. Even lamer is David Goyer, who I will forever remember as the many who killed ‘Blade,” and was too arrogant to say “I’m sorry. I f%cked up.” Christopher Nolan produced the movie, whom I also don’t […]
