In Whedon We Trust. Somewhat sacrilegious, I must admit, but I had no choice. I was looking for a half-decent rendition of what a costume for someone that could run at super speeds would look like, and found the designs for the upcoming television series “The Flash” somewhat lackluster. Though even worse were the designs […]
As far as remakes go, there are few films that would benefit from it as much as Disney’s 1979 sci-fi epic, “The Black Hole.” The good news is that, while Disney is working on a remake, they have been doing so since 2009. The first draft was written by Travis Beecham (“Pacific Rim”) then rewritten […]
It seems that every studio is trying to produce the next “Hunger Games” or “Twilight,” no wonder considering that the two films so far released have earned close to a billion dollars while the five films that make up The Twilight Saga have earned significantly more. The thing is, for every “Hunger Games” or “Twilight” […]
So far I am remarkably unimpressed by the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” trailer so far released. The thing is, they haven’t really shown us anything, and what they have shown us is–to me at any rate–underwhelming. Director Bryan Singer seems to be treating the movie as if it were some sort of Wagnerian epic, […]
It seems that in comedies lately it’s good to be “bad.” By my reckoning, this trend began with Richard Linklater’s classic “Bad News Bears,” in 1995 which was soon followed by the sequel, “The Bad News Bears In Breaking Training” and “The Bad News Bears Go To Japan.” “Bad News Bears” was rebooted in 2005, […]
And as you can see from this picture, “Meh” was being generous. This image is from Screen Crush, and as you can tell, it’s a picture of the new Flash costume, and it. Looks. Pretty. Bad. It also looks confining, when it should allow movement (I assume that the show’s producers will say that it’s […]
This is going to sound like sacrilege, but I have to say it: I never liked Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby.” There, my secret is out. It’s treated like some sort of classic of slow-burn horror by most people who have seen it, but from what I could tell, it’s just slow. In some ways the […]
Here’s a photo from “Slates From Sarah” Facebook page, where she has a picture of John Constantine from NBC’s upcoming series “Constantine,” based upon the DC Comics character. I think it goes without saying that he has the look right (it’s so good that it almost looks like a parody of the character) though only […]
“”Bad Words” Starts Out Amusingly, Before Becoming Uncomfortably Mean-Spirited And Icky.” “Bad Words,” the is the debut of Jason Bateman as a feature film director. He also stars as Guy Trilby in a curious film that at first glance appears to be about an adult whom decides to compete in a children’s spelling bee. And […]
Can this movie look any cooler? This time the trailer seems to feature the Falcon, who we see going against the Winter Soldier. We also get to see the Black Widow in action, administering the Widow’s Bite to an unfortunate victim. I understand that I am not exactly the audience that these trailers are being […]
