This is a surprisingly not-that-great a trailer, especially when you take into account that it’s for a Ridley Scott movie. For a start, the song that plays in the background is not only obnoxious, but ill-fitting. Then there’s the tone, which is hard to get a feel for. If the two things I already mentioned weren’t bad […]
What’s with Sony Pictures and the heavy space exploration theme they seem to striking? Last week they released Passengers, a movie where Chris Pratt decides that being alone for 90 years sucks so much that the best thing to do is to submit someone else to the very same fate. Their latest effort is Life, […]
I published a video earlier this week on YouTube reviewing Netflix’s The OA, which I thought was a pretty remarkable bit of television. I figure that I’d expand on what I said in the video, without spoiling the experience for people who haven’t seen it yet (besides, spoilers suck). Brit Marling wrote most of eight […]
Seriously? I guess that I shouldn’t be too 😱 that Hollywood is basing an entire movie on a concept as seemingly vapid as Emoji. The trailer reminds me vaguely of Pixar’s Inside Out, which if you’re going to be compared to something, is not a bad thing. Will I go to see it? Probably […]
A teaser trailer was released for Denis Villeneuve‘s Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 original. Looking at the trailer, it–at least on the surface–seems to hold a lot in common with the original. Which is problematic in some ways because the first movie was very much lots of style with relatively little […]
For an ‘EVENT THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD’–emphasis their’s, not mine–I readily admit that I have never heard of this particular conflict in World War II, though I don’t know if that’s due to a failing of the American education system or a de-emphasis of it because it doesn’t seem to directly involve the United States. […]
The title, while not quite accurate, sums up the little spider above. It’s official name is Eriovixia gryffindori, a new species discovered in India. Its scientific name was inspired by House Gryffindor, one of the four Houses that make up Hogwarts, from the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling.
Today Paramount Pictures released a new poster for Transformers: The Last Knight and it’s sort of awesome. Though the problem is that all the Transformers movies have had pretty awesome posters, despite the movies sucking (though I’m willing to give a pass to the first movie because we disn’t know any better though as profitable […]
What kind of title is ‘The Fate Of The Furious!?’ It sounds okay if we were talking about a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western, not so much in the case of a movie about a bunch of people where cars are the main mode of transportation, not horses. F. Gary Gray (The Negotiator, The Italian Job) […]
Of the five original Planet Of The Apes movies, three–Planet Of The Apes (1968), Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970) and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) made a profound impression upon my then adolescent mind. Which is interesting because I can barely can recall either Escape from the Planet of the […]
