Cars 3 – Official Trailer #1

The teaser trailer for Pixar’s Cars 3 was pretty harrowing–it somehow managed to be more emotionally demanding than the entirety of ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story–which is saying something.   In fact, the official trailer opens with the teaser, so you’ll see what I mean.   We also see that the whole talking cars thing […]

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story – Review

“What’s surprising is not that ROGUE ON: A STAR WARS Story has earned almost $850 million worldwide, but how astoundingly mediocre the movie actually is.” The biggest problem with Gareth Edwards’ ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story is that it’s two movies. For the bulk of it’s time it’s a war movie, and a not […]

Cars 3 – Teaser Trailer

The first time I had seen the Cars 3 teaser trailer was during Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and someone seated nearby remarked: “That’s pretty dark for a Pixar movie.” Whoever this astute moviegoer was, he took the words right out of my mouth because not only is this trailer–tonally speaking–dark but it makes […]

The Moon (Knight) Rises?

The idea that James Gunn (Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy) is particularly fond of Moon Knight is really great news because I can think of nothing better than seeing the Fist of Khonshu on the big screen. But the hurdles for that happening are two-fold.  First Gunn is occupied working on Guardians of the Galaxy, […]

Rogue One Review Capsule

I’m in the process of editing my review of ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story so check back for the full version! Though I have to say that I really did not like this movie.  Say what you will about the prequels, at least they felt like Star Wars movies. Rogue One?  Maybe the last […]

A Cure For Wellness – Trailer

Having watched The OA on Netflix a few weeks ago–check it out, it’s really intriguing and pretty clever at times–I’ve come to notice that Jason Issacs in the latter part of his career seems to be specializing in criminally-inclined medical professionals.   And I think it was his turn as a trauma surgeon in 1997’s Event […]

‘S’ Is For Seer

As self-driving cars become more ubiquitous, the rate of them being involved in accidents will likely increase. Though driverless cars, while closer to becoming reality than ever before–were foretold pretty accurately about sixty years earlier in the British adventure series Department S (I assume that the ‘S’ stands for the first letter of the last […]

Monster Trucks – Trailers # 1 & 2

Seriously!?  Is there some pent-up demand for a movie that puts the ‘monster’ literally into ‘monster trucks?’  And to be sure, no one knew for certain that the Transformers movies would be the massive hits (reasons to this day, for the most part, beyond my comprehension) they ended up being prior to them being released.  […]
