This is so cool. According to Hollywood Reporter Joss Whedon is developing a television based upon S.H.I.E.L.D (Supreme Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) for ABC. The best thing about this is that a S.H.I.E.L.D series can deal with more traditional threats as well as those of a super-powered nature. It’s uncertain if Whedon will […]
I am always on the lookout for entertaining movies, though I prefer science fiction, horror, thrillers, and comedies, pretty much in that order. Though I tend to watch virtually any film that isn’t too amateurish, and not drek like “The Human Centipede” (which may have some redeeming qualities, which I might actually notice if I […]
“”ParaNorman,” particularly its story, is not as innovative as its animation, though it often uses established tropes in an interesting fashion.” Chris Butler and Sam Fell‘s “ParaNorman” is an interesting film primarily for two reasons: The first is that it’s made in stop-motion, a painstaking method of animation that involves figures built upon a metal […]
It needs to be said that I have never been a huge fan of DC Comics. Despite enjoying the adventures of Green Lantern and Batman when I was younger, I always preferred Marvel overall. That being said, I don’t want their films to fail because if enough superhero films fail, it threatens all superhero films […]
Excuse me for a moment. That’s better. Now that I found a little release, I can ask the question I find myself asking way more often that I would like lately, which is: Why in (insert perferred deity here) name are they remaking David Cronenberg’s “Videodrome?” Cronenberg himself attempted, not nearly as successfully, to revisit […]
What happened to Tony Scott was tragic, though suicide generally is. Whatever one may think about the act, whether or not it’s right, wrong or whatever, concerns me less than the blatantly lurid tendencies that seem to emerge when such things happen to famous people (the non-famous don’t seem to attract as much attention, for […]
This is an interesting bit of news. According to Vulture, by way of Superherohype, there’s talk of a reboot of Dave Stevens’ ‘Rocketeer,’ which I think is a really cool idea. The original film, directed by Joe Johnston, most recently of “Captain America,” didn’t do too well at the box office, earning almost $47 million […]
I spent all last Thursday as an extra on Netflix’s upcoming series, House of Cards (an Americanized version of a British series), and had a great time. Prior to “House of Cards,” I worked as a policeman on “The Dark Knight Rises” (TDKR). You would think, since TDKR had a massive budget compared to “House of […]
I know it’s a bit early, but mark in your calendars that the sequel to Marvel’s “The Avengers”–currently known as The Avengers 2–will be released May 1, 2015. And in other Marvel-related news, according to Superherohype James Gunn is the front runner to direct “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” I am not quite sure that I […]
I am not the hugest gamer out there, but those that involve elements of fear and paranoia have always been of interest to me. So, it goes without saying, that I have “Dead Space” on both of my iOS devices. I like the look and feel of the game, though I have not worked out […]
