I apologize for the earlier title, in which I wrote ‘Trailer’ instead of ‘Poster.’ I have posted before that Tony Stark in “Iron Man 3” is going to spend a bit of time on the Dark Side (which is an interesting turn of phrase considering Disney now owns Lucasfilm), and in the process end up […]
This is interesting news! According to Deadline, Duncan Jones, director of “Moon” and “Source Code,” will be directing a movie based upon Activision Blizzard’s MMORPG (Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game) “World of Warcraft.” I am of two minds about this: While it’s good that Jones will be working with a larger palate than his […]
Why is it that Hollywood, whenever it begins to run low on ideas, feels the need to plunder my dreams? Perhaps I shouldn’t take such things so personally, but after the upcoming (?) reboot of “Space: 1999,” and now “The Tomorrow People,” I am beginning to wonder. The original series of the “The Tomorrow People,” there was a […]
A few months ago I read that Paul Giamatti was interested in playing the Rhino, a member of Spider-Man’s rogues gallery. At the time I recall thinking that that was some of the most awesome casting that I have heard in a long while–mainly because he actually looks like the character–though I didn’t think much […]
I had never heard of this film before I saw the poster when I went to see “Mama.” It takes place during the Cold War, and is based upon a true story (whatever that means). It stars David Duchovny, Ed Harris, and William Fichtner, though what interested me more was that two of the producers […]
It’s been awhile, relatively speaking, since I last posted. That will tend to happen when I don’t feel like making a mountain out of a molehill, like with the rumor that Marvel is considering adding either Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler to the cast of “Guardians of the Galaxy” (as Rocket Raccoon). If I said […]
There’s a new trailer for the upcoming season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” the last with showrunner Glen Mazzara (who on some level I blame for Frank Darabont, the showrunner before him, leaving the show, despite the fact that I should know better). I remain a fan of the series–after all, they haven’t got rid […]
““Mama” is an auspicious debut from Andrés (Andy) Muschietti that gets much more right than wrong.” Andy Muschietti’s “Mama” is a bit of a throwback to an era when horror films aimed not to disgust, but to scare and frighten. It was a time when most of the violence was implied, yet somehow was more effective than […]
As far as I am aware, this image is from James Mangold’s upcoming “The Wolverine.” I know the image is from the back, but from what I can tell it looks remarkably faithful to the comic character.
It seems that I am not the only one with mother issues because the Guillermo Del Toro produced horror film, “Mama,” has already earned $10 million Friday, and is on track to add another $20 million by the end of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Unfortunately, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s, “The Last Stand” seems to be […]
