Let’s be clear: I don’t think Rob Zombie is a very good director. In fact, his movies on one level can be seem to be primarily vehicles for employing his wife, Sherri Moon Zombie; which I have nothing against because such nepotism in Hollywood–or anywhere else for that matter–isn’t exactly unusual. Judd Apatow gives his […]
“David O’ Russell’s “Silver Linings Playbook,” shows that it’s sometimes hard to separate the keepers from the inmates.” The first part of this review is more a commentary upon the behavior of the director, David O’Russell. If such things don’t interest you, please continue reading below the second Youtube clip. I saw David O’ Russell’s 2009 film,“Three […]
Deadline has an interview with Gale Anne Hurd, who is an executive producers of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” She speaks about the controversy over Glen Mazzara leaving the show, though (not surprisingly), says little that we don’t know already. I get the feeling that we haven’t heard the last about this matter.
A movie named “Big Ass Spider” probably doesn’t put one in the mind of “Remains of the Day” or “The King’s Speech;” which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. What it does do is to remind me of those Saturday afternoon matinee-type movies that came on Channel 11 (WPIX) in Manhattan when I was growing up, […]
The latest game in the ‘Dead Space’ Saga is here, and proves that space isn’t the only place where no one can hear you scream. I have played the original game on my BriPad 2, though I imagine that the version on consoles like the XBox 360 or Playstation are much more elaborate because of […]
Marvel Studios and James Gunn have found their Starlord, and he is Chris Pratt. Most recently he’s starred in “Zero Dark Thirty” as well as “Parks and Recreation” on NBC. I haven’t seen ‘Zero Dark’ and don’t watch “Parks and Recreation,” so I have no idea who this guy is, though after reading on various […]
I could have posted this yesterday, but frankly wasn’t terribly interested till I saw the poster to the left at the Silver Spring Metro station today. One thing led to another (tell me something wrong, I listened too long but then, one thing leads to another), and here I am. At first I wasn’t sure […]
When Gerry Anderson died last September, I not only was saddened, but felt somehow betrayed. I am not arrogant to believe that his health is any of my business, but knowing would have clarified for me why it is that he left the Pinewood Studios lot, and the selling of the memorabilia that he had accrued […]
Here’s the latest teaser trailer from “Iron Man 3,” from the folks at Marvel Studios.
Walter Hill’s “The Warriors” has always been a favorite film of mine. It manages to hold up pretty well, despite being made in 1979. Part of what makes it so durable is that the story is essentially a simple one, which is a gang from Coney Island comes to Manhattan for a big meeting, attended […]
