Will the trailer for “The Avengers” be shown during “Real Steel?” I hadn’t intended on seeing the film, which appears to me to be little more than a feature film rip-off of an episode of The Twilight Zone, but seeing the trailer, it could have some redeeming features.
According to Vulture, Harlan Ellison, famed science fiction writer, is suing the Andrew Niccol and Regency, the makers of the upcoming Justin Timberlake feature, “In Time.” Ellison claims that it rips off his short story, “Repent Harlequin!” Said The Ticktockman” I read Ellison’s story many years ago, and it was inspirational–though I thought that “I […]
I found this new piece of promo art on Collider from from “The Avengers” and thought that people would be interested in seeing it (who don’t happen to check Collider). It makes really cool wallpaper for the person that just can’t quite get enough of superhero art, besides providing a glimpse of the Avengers in […]
The trailer for Andrew Niccol’s “In Time,” starring Justin Timberlake. It sounds like a bit of “Logan’s Run” with a liberal dash of John Christopher’s “The White Mountains.”
Here’s the trailer for “Twilight: Breaking Dawn.” I don’t personally see the attraction of the series, then again, the millions of people that do more than make up for my lack of interest. That being said, what does interest me is that Bill Condon is behind the camera, because a talented director can elevate just about any project, […]
No matter what one thinks of Tyler Perry’s films and television projects–and to be honest I don’t think all that well of them–the man clearly has business acumen. He’s currently listed as Forbes’ highest paid male in entertanment, earning an estimated $130 million dollars from May 2010-2011. You would have to be pretty prolific to […]
“This “Contagion” may be hard on the system, but it’s well worth catching.” “Contagion” is a scary film, though it didn’t get that way by accident. Part of why it is so effective is because the scenario it presents is a very realistic one, as anyone who has even remotely paid attention to the scourge […]
See, this is the sort of stuff that irks me to no end. According to The Wrap, Warner Brothers is remaking “Point Break,” though I have to ask, “Why?” The film itself isn’t anything remarkable, though you do have Keanu Reeves in a role in which he’s actually engaging. Then there’s Patrick Swayze, who sells […]
Here’s the trailer for David Fincher’s English-language remake of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” I am posting this because I saw the trailer during “Contagion” (review forthcoming) and was almost deafened by the sound, which seemed intent upon pummeling me into submission. The teaser poster above is probably a bit too “breasty” for some, […]
Roland Emmerich, seemingly the inheritor of the “Master of Disaster” title from Irwin Allen, tells Collider that he isn’t going to make a film version of the video game Asteroids. This is a wise decision because, if you thought that the game Battleship was devoid of plot, Asteroids makes it seem like The Battleship Potemkin. That […]
