New ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer

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, […]

‘Why Guillermo Del Toro Is Awesome’ Or ‘There There Will Probably Be An ‘At The Mountains Of Madness’ Feature

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 […]

‘Now You See Me’ Trailer

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’ Review

“”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 […]

Hanging At ‘Hemlock Grove’

“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’ Trailer

“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 […]

New ‘Man Of Steel’ Trailer

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 […]
