Because what we needed was a reboot of “Total Recall,” the original a Paul Verhoeven film that, as far as I could tell, was done pretty well the first time. The new version is being directed by Len Weisman, who’s every film looks like huge set pieces with occasional character interaction thrown in.
Netflix has done plenty of stupid things, but their latest decision isn’t among them. They have decided, in a burst of sanity, to not take on “Terra Nova” after it had been cancelled by Fox. Netflix doesn’t have the deep pockets of a Twentieth Century Fox–and “House of Cards, and the participation of David […]
Here’s the trailer for Tim Story‘s “Think Like A Man,” which I am interested in seeing–not because it looks entertaining–it does–but because it’s directed by Tim Story. Story directed “The Fantastic Four,” and “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” among others, two films that weren’t that great, but whose weakness was due more to […]
“The Wraith” is a film that’s interesting in that it not only should be remade, but almost requires it. That being said, I don’t only want to point out what makes it such a mediocre movie – it’s too easy – but offer some advice which could improve it. Mike Marvin’s film, sadly, smothers a […]
This ‘Host’ has nothing to do with the (more than likely) far superior movie by Korean director Bong Joon-ho. Instead it comes to us courtesy of Stephenie Meyer, the writer of the ‘Twilight’ books. I am assuming that these aliens work by possessing an individual, if the trailer is any indicator.
Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games,” is making box office history, with the fifth best opening ever. Worldwide receipts have reached $214 million, on a budget of $78 million. This is what happens with you take a popular book–one aimed primarily at teenage readers–with a smart (and relatively inexpensive) advertising campaign by Lionsgate. Hopefully Disney and other […]
Marvel’s Angel, is probably one of the most underrated superheroes there are (of course, I am not referring to Archangel. That guy is absolutely lethal) besides DC’s Aquaman–who’s really lame, by the way. His only ability is that of flight–which was probably obvious, considering those huge wings. Flight is a weak ability, till you consider […]
“Cosmopolis” has everything that a moviegoer could want. There’s Robert Patterson, for the ‘Twilight’ contingent, and David Cronenberg, perhaps the premiere director of the weird and bizarre. And this film definitely seems to fit that bill, seeing that it revolves around a billionaire (Patterson) who is searching for a haircut, and the twisted things that […]
Here’s the red band trailer for “Piranha 3DD,” from The Weinstein Company, which also released the Academy Award winning film, “The Artist.” And while “Piranha 3DD” will probably win few Oscars, it has assets that its more renown brethren lacks. It’s also not safe for viewing at work. That is, unless you happen to have […]
I have tickets for “Mirror, Mirror” this Saturday, though if I had a choice, I would’ve chosen “Snow White And The Huntsman.” It seems to take itself seriously, and appears somewhat dark, as opposed to the aforementioned film.
