I have no idea what Dawn of War III is like as a game–the first thing that popped into my head was that it looked an awful lot like StarCraft–though the trailer is pretty impressive. Apparently, armored humans are fighting orcs, while Evangelion-like warriors, who hang out in adobe niches, look out over the carnage. […]
Sometimes I find myself sympathizing with sharks. Imagine that one day you’re swimming about, doing whatever it is that you do–which for a shark consists primarily of swimming, eating and every once in awhile mating–when an unknown animal suddenly starts making a ruckus nearby. You have very keen eyesight and can smell blood in the […]
Take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but according to Superherohype Karl Urban is talking to venues like Netflix to continue the story of Judge Dredd in the television space. I have no idea if this is true, but it’s a great idea because Dredd, while underwhelming in theaters in 2012–financially speaking, because […]
Overall, Takashi Shimizu’s (The Grudge, The Grudge 2, Ju-on: The Grudge–see a trend here?) Flight 1750 is a pretty decent horror movie that’s interested more in the slow-burn approach to film making, as opposed to how much blood (CGI or otherwise) can be splashed about. And that’s not a bad thing because Shimizu knows his […]
If you haven’t heard, Netflix last week announced that a spinoff from Marvel’s Daredevil, featuring The Punisher, starring Jon Bernthal, is going straight to series. This is interesting, especially considering the denials from Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb early on. I enjoyed Frank Castle but I am left with a few questions.
I really like this trailer. When it begins, you could be excused for thinking that’s it’s a European remake of The Martian, but as the trailer goes on it seems to become something larger, and evokes a sense of the mystical more in common with 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Fountain more than it […]
Take note, Bryan Singer, this is how you do it! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: No body brings the destruction like Roland Emmerich (and I’m not suggesting for a moment that it has anything to do with him being German, though it can’t hurt). The sequel to 1996’s Independence Day […]
This isn’t typically the sort of thing I write about, though as someone who’s been in more that his share of Twitter fights, I find this video fascinating. And that’s because it shows a very mean-spirited behavior in real time, though it also shows the role of etiquette, which I define as the often culturally-determined, […]
The most recent trailer for X-men: Apocalypse dropped yesterday, so I gave it a look. If you check out my last trailer review–posted below–you’ll see what I think about about X:Men: Apocalypse – Trailer 2 below. Looking at the third trailer, it feels like director Bryan Singer is playing in Roland Emmerich’s sandbox, and I am not […]
Paul Greenglass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum and Matt Damon are back with the further adventures of super spy Jason Bourne with Jason Bourne. Though what I find most interesting is if Greenglass and Damon can make Jason Bourne relevant in these days where characters like Captain America play […]
