In terms of keeping ourselves entertained, there are a plethora of options available. From the Internet to video games, watching sports or the seemingly hundreds of other things we do to fill time, our entertainment options are so many that studios can’t afford to take moviegoers for granted. Which is why I see a studio […]
I really like this trailer a lot. First off because it initially plays like a riff on Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now–which cannot be an accident–by way of Jurassic Park. Then there’s the almighty Sam Jackson (who will probably end up devoured by something before the credits roll) who never fails to bring his A-game. […]
Some movies aren’t made for me, and I understand that though what really needs to sink in is that that doesn’t necessarily mean that a movie is doomed to failure. I learned this rough lesson most recently when I swore to the heavens that Angelina Jolie’s 2014 movie Maleficent would tank at the box office. Over […]
I have been a fan of comics since I learned to read–and in fact they contributed significantly to that happening–though eventually my love for the medium branched off into other adjacent areas fairly quickly. One of my favorite offshoots was old-time radio. I was an avid listener of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater in the […]
Now this is what I count as a spoiler. I wrote a post about Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange movie where I mentioned that Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelson) had been marked by Dormammu because of what was going on with his eyes. It was speculation–proven to be accurate–but as I wrote then, for people who knew who […]
It’s hard not to see the latest trailer for the live-action version of Ghost In The Shell, starring Scarlett Johansson, and not think about the allegations of whitewashing that plagued the production (the same thing happened when the Internet learned Tilda Swinton was cast as the Ancient One in Doctor Strange; a character that was typically not […]
If you have ever seen Gerry Anderson’s Terrahawks you’re familiar with Zelda of Gak, an android who’s numerous attempts to invade Earth were thwarted by Dr. Tiger Ninestein and his team, known as the Terrahawks. Speaking of Zelda, she recently released a video from her base on Mars denying any involvement with or connection to the Trump […]
The trailer for “Luc Besson‘s Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets dropped earlier today, and visually speaking, it’s gorgeous. Then again, Besson is the guy that directed The Fifth Element–another visually dazzling sci-fi epic–so that’s not really a surprise. The only fly in the ointment (or spanner in the works or pig in […]
I originally wasn’t going to blog today–something about the idea of Donald Trump as President-Elect made me mildly nauseous–but I’m not about to let a narcissistic, egotistical blow-hard scar my psyche or dampen my joy. So here’s the trailer for Annabelle 2 (directed by Gary Dauberman, who wrote the first movie) about a possessed doll […]
When I caught Doctor Strange last weekend one of trailers before the movie was XXX: The Return Of Xander Cage, which fascinated me because prior to that moment I had rarely seen so much stupid squeezed into a trailer that lasted no more than two or three minutes. It reminded me of the time Jason Statham said […]
