The original “Battlestar Galactica” was created by Glen Larson in 1979 and began life, essentially, as a knock-off of “Star Wars.” Despite that fact, the original series has always held a fond place in my heart because, while it started from somewhat humble origins, it began very quickly began to diverge from its source, becoming it’s own […]
At 2314 President Obama’s campaign won Ohio, sending him over the 270 mark (274, to be exact), and returning him to the Presidency of the United States.
I normally don’t write about politics, and have no intention of changing that trend. That’s not the same thing as saying that I don’t care, or have a point of view, which is why I am watching the election results on NBC, via Rawstory.com. Currently President Obama is just under six hundred votes behind Mitt […]
Why would anyone pay for Hulu Plus? I don’t necessarily mean that in a disparaging way–because, while Netflix may have more films, they lag in the amount of television series available for viewing–but it’s less a question of content, than commercials. You see, if you were to get Hulu Plus–which is supposedly somehow better than […]
If tears don’t threaten at any point during “Paperman” (the Disney short that airs before the feature) or “Wreck-It Ralph” you’re made of stone. A few minutes ago I was trying to explain Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” to my sister, who has three children, two of them younger than five. Despite enjoying the movie myself, I would not recommend it to […]
Now this is interesting news! According to Collider, Jamie Foxx is rumored to be interested in the part of Electro in the sequel of “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Now keep in mind that his skin color isn’t integral AT ALL to the character. Despite this being the case, and if it’s confirmed, wait to see all […]
High concept movies can be difficult to market. If the film itself, or the campaign to sell it to audiences doesn’t resonate, then no one is going to see it. In fact, sometimes the higher the concept, the weaker the performance, and as of late, there’s virtually nothing higher concept than “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” […]
In case you haven’t yet heard, Disney now owns Lucasfilm, as well as the rights to make future Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. As I posted elsewhere, how Twentieth-Century Fox let this one go (could this have something to do with Tom Rothman leaving) is almost beyond comprehension, though their loss is Disney’s gain. […]
I like quite a few of the films that John Coscarelli has done, particularly “Phantasm,” but that’s almost a given. That being said, I really do want to see his version of James Wong’s novel. In fact I have been wanting to see this movie for at least five or six months, every since I […]
According to Deadline, Shonda Rimes is producing a scifi television series, a move that’s just a bit outside her comfort zone of relationship dramas, and interesting in and of itself. That being said, what’s even more interesting is that David DiGilio is writing it. DiGilio is the guy that was chosen by Disney to write […]
