Correction
Yesterday, in the post “Patty Jenkins Has Left Thor 2” I attributed the news to Vulture, when I actually meant to give credit to Deadline. My apologies, and I will endeavor to be more careful in future.

I live in the District of Columbia, and currently on hiatus from university. I enjoy various types of film, though that enjoyment tends to increase exponentially if there is a spaceship or an alien thereabout.
Patty Jenkins Has Left Thor 2!
According to Deadline, Patty Jenkins has left as director of the sequel to 2011’s “Thor.” This is remarkable because she just got the assignment a month or two ago. Marvel Studios can be notoriously difficult to work with, and more than a little bit tight with the purse strings, though I don’t want to assume […]
The Cabin in the Woods Trailer
Here’s a link to the trailer for “The Cabin in the Woods,” written and produced by Joss Whedon. It’s a cool trailer, and reminds me of the “Buffy, The Vampire Slayer,” “The Initiative” storyline mixed liberally with Stephen King’s “Under The Dome.”
Marathon Saga
Before Bungie became part of Microsoft, they produced games like 1994’s Marathon. It revolves around a spaceship, the Marathon, that’s invaded by aliens. You’re part of the crew, tasked with the job of defending the ship so that the AI’s (artificial intelligences) that control it can marshal the ship’s defenses. I assumed that the game […]
Starship Troopers Being Remade
Help me understand something: On one hand you have Paul Verhoeven, the director of “Robocop,” “Hollow Man,” “Total Recall,” “Starship Troopers,” and others. Each of those films, filled to the brim with gory, sexy, subversive goodness that not too many current films even attempt to approach, never mind equal. So, considering all the really bad […]
Latest John Carter Trailer
Here’s the latest trailer for Disney’s “John Carter.” I have also included a link to some commentary from Vulture, where they ask the same question that I asked early today, which essentially is: How is Disney going to make this film profitable when they aren’t all that sure how to market it in the first […]
The Lizard And The Spider
According to the folks and Spiderman.ru and Collider.com, the image to your left is The Lizard, from the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man.” I tend to believe that it’s accurate because of this. I am not too sure how I feel about it, mainly because he looks too ‘human,’ though it’s hard to tell his size […]
New John Carter Photos
Here’s some new photos from “John Carter,” based upon Edgar Rice Burroughs’s “John Carter: Warlord of Mars” novels. I don’t know about this movie. I haven’t read the novels it’s based upon, but to me it lacks the spectacle that something that costs in the neighborhood of $250 million should. That’s a lot of cabbage […]
My Secret Twilight Shame
I admit that when I first heard about the general disdain thrown the way of the ‘Twilight’ films, I joined right in despite never having seen any of them. In my defense, can you blame me? Sparkly vampires? Reproducing (as in sexually) vampires? I DON’T THINK SO. I grew up on films like “Fright Night,” […]
Revenue Enhancers For Content Providers
I don’t tend to lean toward the wonky side of tech issues, but when I learned about HBO Go and Max Go, I felt a comment was necessary. What HBO Go and Max Go are are ways to watch both HBO and Cinemax content on mobile devices. Which is a really good idea, though the […]
