“If more attention were given to character development, “Storage 24” could have been a genre classic, instead of a mildly interesting diversion.” Horror is a house with many doors, all opening onto the stuff of nightmares. Whatever your interest, be it torture porn, poltergeists, vampires, zombies, and just about everything in-between, you’ll find a place just […]
Let’s see…for fans of genre there isn’t all that much to pick from. Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit,” came out today, but it’s getting somewhat mediocre reviews. That being said, I am most curious about the version that’s filmed at the faster frame rate of 48fps (frames per second), despite reading that it has caused some […]
The trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” has finally arrived, and it’s too cool for school. It reminds me a bit of Michael Bay’s ‘Transformers’ films, except that it doesn’t suck, you care about the characters–which I can even tell from the trailer, amazingly enough–and has some awesome robots. I like two things in […]
I have been dealing with a cold since Monday, and I just finished providing tech support to my Mom, so I am a little bit tired at the moment. Whining aside, I saw the new “Man Of Steel” trailer and noticed that it’s a step up from the teaser, which looked like a fabric softener […]
I am not sure how I feel about the second trailer for Gore Verbinski’s “The Lone Ranger.” I dig the trippy visuals in the opening, though the height of the platform (how did Johnny Depp get him up there any way, with a crane?) looks like it was done just to put our hero (Arnie […]
I have heard some people complain that the Smith children–Jaden and Willow in particular–are (so far) largely beneficiaries of their parents’ success. I say: So what. Hell, if my dad were, let’s say Stephen R. Donaldson (the creator of “The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant,” The Gap Saga, among many others) and he offered me the […]
Gossip Cop has a trailer for Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming “Oblivion,” and I am not sure how I feel about it from a design standpoint, which is interesting, because Kosinski’s has a pretty strong esthetic sense, if “Tron: Legacy” was any indication. Thanks to Gossip Cop for the foreign language trailer that I linked to above, […]
Here’s the movie poster for Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming “Oblivion.” I like the whole post-apocalyptic vibe, though what I assume to be a spacecraft in the lower right side of the poster looks way too over-designed. Then again, that could be because I am accustomed to space craft that look like he USS Cygnus from Disney’s […]
While I have to admit that I liked this trailer, what bothered me a bit was that it–the trailer–felt somehow familiar, as if I had seen it before. Seeing that I am too broke to have any connect to either Bad Robot (J.J. Abrams’ production company) or Paramount Pictures, I have no idea why. Then […]
I have been saying for the longest time that the sequel to Joseph Kosinski’s 2010 film “Tron: Legacy” was going to happen, and it appears that we are closer than ever. According to Superherohype, a new writer is on the project, and Disney wants to move forward sooner rather than later. Choosing a new writer isn’t […]
