If the synopsis of the film is any indicator, “The Raven” will have little to do with the poem by Edgar Allen Poe. This is the third film from James McTeigue, who worked with the Warchowskis’ before directing on his own. The trailer looks interesting (then again, they always do), though from what I have […]
It’s Not Human. Yet. The prequel to John Carpenter’s eponymously-named film (with potentially the coolest tagline in years) is coming out October 14th; though if you can’t wait 6 days, I may have found something to hold you over till then. Dark Horse Comics has issued a free three-issue digital comic based upon the mythology of […]
When I first heard about Shawn Levy‘s “Real Steel,” I assumed that it was a case of Hollywood stealing a great idea and remaking it into a sub-par feature. Richard Matheson’s story was brilliant, and I couldn’t imagine that anyone, especially Levy, bringing anything positive to the story. So, when I wasn’t implying that Matheson’s […]
From what little I know about the latest production from Steven Spielberg “War Horse”, doesn’t sound like my cup of tea, though that’s less an issue with the film itself–Spielberg has proven himself adept at reading and interpreting the public mood–than anything else.
Rumor has it that the trailer for “The Avengers” will be released next Wednesday, five days (excluding the weekend) from today. While an interesting rumor, I would take it with a grain of salt.

Steve Jobs, the iconic chairman and public face of Apple, Inc., died of pancreatic cancer today. He was 56.
Here’s the trailer for “Paranormal Activity 3,” which I would like to think is going to concentrate on being scary and atmospheric, unlike the prior entry.
I don’t quite know why the fact that “Tron: Legacy” is streaming on Netflix so amazes me–though what I really should be concerned about is why I am watching it, since I have already purchased the movie via iTunes, and saw it in the theater twice–but I have to admit that it looks gorgeous. In […]
The Coen Brothers, makers of “True Grit,” “Fargo,” “The Hudsucker Proxy,” “Raising Arizona, “Miller’s Crossing,” among others, will be producing an hour-long comedy series at Fox, the news of which confuses me a tad. It will their first foray into television, though I am not sure that TV is big enough to contain their unique […]
According to “The Daily Beast,” the current season of”The Simpsons” may be the last. The series, about a family that excel at dysfunction, has been on the air for 23 seasons. There are some valid reasons that the series should end, one of which is that it’s just a bit long in the tooth. Another […]
