Clothes Make The Inhu(Man)

Over the weekend Comicbook.com posted some images from Marvel Television’s upcoming The Inhumans and while I’m glad that their teleporting dog Lockjaw will be making an appearance the costumes might be just a little bit subdued. By which I mean, here’s a picture of Black Bolt, the head of the Inhuman Royal Family. He’s a […]

The Man Who Murdered Time – Part 2

Sorry about the delay in getting this out. I had actually written this post last week, but the WordPress mobile app ate it. Luckily I wrote a rough draft (on paper!), so I didn’t start from scratch. The time machine, created by Willard Hughes in Part 1, is activated and its insidious purpose is made […]

Alien: Covenant – Trailer 2

Don’t get me wrong, the latest trailer for Alien: Covenant looks pretty good–after all, it’s directed by Ridley Scott, so it goes without saying that cinematographically-speaking it’s going to be gorgeous. What bothers me a bit though is that it doesn’t seem to be doing anything particularly new. Out the box we get colonists, shots […]

Bright – Teaser Trailer

Though what’s most interesting is that it’s being financed to the […]

Raising Hell(boy)

When I read yesterday that the kibosh had been put on Hellboy III by none other than Guillermo Del Toro himself, I have to admit that I was a bit put out. And what his account lacks in detail, it more than made up for in finality.  As I said, I was a bit bothered, […]

The All Nighter – Trailer 

The All Nighter looks pretty amusing.  The role J.K. Simmons plays–a concerned father who’s daughter has gone missing-vaguely reminds me of Liam Neeson’s character in the Taken movies, but geared toward comedy. Speaking of Simmons he’s perhaps one of the more versatile character actors working today, with an enviable ability to elevate whatever he happens […]

Namor The Sub-Mariner Rises?

I’m going to just come out and say it.  Aquaman is lame.  And sure, much effort has been invested by DC Comics to give the character just a bit of much needed edge in the past few years, though his corny past is never terribly far behind. If your preferences ran toward water-based superheroes, as […]
