Apparently Erik Estrada (who played Officer Frank Poncherello in the 1977 series CHiPs, which stands for California Highway Patrol) is none too happy about Dax Shepard‘s reinterpretation of the show he co-headlined with Larry Wilcox. The truth of it is that I have no idea if Estrada has even seen the movie–though he mentioned about […]
I admit to being influenced by reviews a bit more than perhaps should in that if someome has a terrible time watching this or that, while it by no means guarantees that I won’t see it, though it does make it much more likely. For instance. I was genuinely curious about The Bye Bye Man, […]
While it’s good news that M. Night Shyamalan is finally getting around to producing a sequel to his Bruce Willis/Sam Jackson-led Unbreakable, three problems in particular come to mind. 1. The original Unbreakable came out 17 years ago. The point being that a lot of people aren’t going to get fired up for a sequel to a […]
Twentieth Century Fox’s Logan is indicative of their problems managing their X-Men franchise. Supposedly it’s going to be R-rated, not because Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is a mutant who’s primarily features are a healing factor, Adamantium-coated claws and a bestial nature to match, but because Deadpool had an R- rating, and it gave Fox almost […]
I’ve seen Nacho Vigalondo‘s Timecrimes and Open Windows, both very idiosyncratic movies, so let’s just say I find very little surprise when his latest–Colossal–features a kaiju that’s seemingly the personification of a stressed woman’s ego not all that surprising. Though what concerns me is that hopefully the movie winds up being more than a clever […]
Currently King_Arthur’s Modular Eagle Transporter project over at LEGO Ideas has 2373 supporters–which is awesome and shows not only support for the great work he has done but much love for one of the most iconic spacecraft in science fiction. Above is a photo of the Eagle Transporter from Space: 1999 And here’re King_Arthur’s […]
Netflix is hitting it out of the park as far as their work producing superhero-based action series is concerned (their pact wirh Marvel Television will soon introduce Iron Fist, The Punisher and The Defenders–though as far as Frank Castle goes, perhaps ‘reintroduce’ would be a better choice of words since he played a prominent role […]
These days as a mover goer I know full well that practical effects combined with CGI can create virtually any type of effect imaginable. Though what I find infinitely more interesting is when a movie’s special effects are so seamless that I don’t know that what I happen to be looking at is a special […]
XX, not to be confused with XXX: The Return of Zander Cage, is likely named after the female sex chromosome, an indicator this anthology (in this instance a movie composed of a series of shorts) will be directed by entirely by women. Though what I am most concerned about is if the movie will […]
While Marvel Studios is doing some amazing things in the movie space, we sometimes forget that Marvel Television is making waves of their own on the small screen. And while they have been doing solid work with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter arguably their strongest work so far has been the series that have have […]
