I don’t mind video games from a first-person view, though since you’re actually playing, the conceit works and you’re engaged. In movies? Not so much, especially since what you can see and hear of the protagonist will look and hear nothing like a large percentage of the people who will be watching this movie. It […]
I have finally uploaded my Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice review and as I say, it’s not a terrible movie, though it’s not that good either.
I am just going to say it: I don’t believe that Zach Snyder is a real comics geek. Reason being, I have seen Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and while it isn’t terrible by any means, it’s also not the sort of movie that a true fan of the medium would make (not without […]
I kind of like the idea behind David F. Sandberg’s Lights Out, but I am not sure how it stands up to scrutiny. After all, in the trailer the phantasm doesn’t appear in pitch darkness-which the title implies–but when there’s a nearby light source. This is an important distinction because my scariest moments tend to happen […]
Netflix is bringing back Voltron, though it appears that he might have got a demotion from being the ‘Defender of the Universe’ to a ‘Legendary Defender.’ I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the robot, though for some reason when growing up I thought that it was selfish that only one of the […]
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reviews have been filtering in for the last day or two, and while they’re not all terrible–after all, someone probably even liked Hitler’s paintings–they’re pretty disastrous considering that there are literally millions, if not potentially billions, riding on its success. I intend to catch it tomorrow, and will post a review as […]
I readily admit that Tom Twyker’s A Hologram For The King isn’t the type of movie that I typically go for, though there are a few things about it that pique my interest. First off, you have Tom Hanks reciting the lyrics for The Talking Heads “Once In A Lifetime, which is awesome. Then there’s Twyker himself, […]
If I were to tell you that Keith Shaw’s Avalanche Sharks–despite the poster proclaiming ‘Snow Sharks’–wasn’t a very good movie, you’d probably say something to the effect of ‘Duh, it’s about sharks that ‘swim’ though snow, devouring skiers. What about that scenario screams Academy Award to you?’ And I get that, though the movie doesn’t […]
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why the Marvel series being produced for Netflix are so successful. After all, they’re working with characters that I wouldn’t exactly call ‘first-stringers.’ Though that’s not by any means to imply that they aren’t beloved to many people, only that they’re plenty of more popular superheroes that have […]
“Daredevil must die.” –Nabu In the final episode of Marvel’s Daredevil’s Second Season, Nobu’s (Peter Shinkoda) endgame is revealed. Every since the first he’s sought the Black Sky. Now we know that the Black Sky is to the Hand a perfect weapon, that will enable them to conquer whomever they choose. So it stands to […]
