Marvel’s Daredevil S2:E1 – Bang – Review

“Everytime I think we’ve seen it all, Hell’s Kitchen manages to sneak up and kick me right in the balls.”   It’s apt that the first episode of Marvel’s Daredevil Second season is called ‘Bang’ because it almost literally begins with one.  New York is experiencing record high temperatures and tempers are flaring along with the heat. […]

The Second Annual Daredevil-A-Thon Starts Tomorrow!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is going up later this month, though before that we have the Second season of Marvel’s Daredevil, premiering tomorrow on Netflix. This time Daredevil faces not only The assassins known in the comics as The Hand (we saw hints of them in the first season) but the lethal vigilante known as the […]

X-Men: Age Of Apocalypse – Official Trailer

While it’s great that Bryan Singer finally understands that he’s making movies based on comic books, the bulletin might have come just a bit too late. Reason being, we’ve got Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice premiering March 28–by the time its competition appears on the horizon hopefully it will have profitability in its sights.  If it doesn’t […]

Sausage Party – Red Band Trailer

When a movie comes from Seth Rogen you typically don’t expect it to be terribly  sophisticated–though considering that he, along with producing partner Evan Goldberg, have developed a series based on Vertigo’s Preacher (which is getting rave reviews) it’s not any longer a terribly accurate interpretation–and if that movie were called ‘Sausage Party’ you probably […]

Science, Sorcery and Movies

Typically, when we’re talking about science, it’s in reference to something that can be proven (such as global warming, which despite what naysayers may say, is quantifiable) by a combination of observation, experimentation and tried and true trial and error. Now sorcery doesn’t have as nearly as rigorous a system of validation, because we’re talking about something […]

Captain America: Civil War Trailer 3

Oh.  My.  God. Where to begin…first off, what the hell is this? Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) latest indulgence? A S.H.I.E.L.D. base of operations replacing the destroyed Triskelion from Captain America: The Winter Soldier? I have no idea. Then there’s this:  Yes, that’s the Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) outrunning  a speeding Audi. The reason being, the car was […]

The Punisher Finds His Skull

I was speculating a few weeks ago about about how happy I would be if in the upcoming second season of Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix–coming in ten days, but who’s counting!–the Punisher (Jon Bernthal) wore his iconic skull like in the comics. Though I foresaw a problem, namely that the reality-based nature of the Marvel Television/Netflix […]

Zoombies – Trailer

You might thing that I was intending to wright ‘Zombies,’ but if you did you probably weren’t aware that this is from The Asylum. Zoombies is not about the typical–zombies have become so mainstream that I can write that without a bit of irony–undead but instead zombified animals at a safari park that begin to […]
