Horror has been pretty good to AMC. In 2010 they premiered The Walking Dead, one of he biggest shows on television, cable or otherwise (despite how atrociously they apparently treated Frank Darabont). Later came the spin-off, Fear The Walking Dead, which hasn’t been a laggard in the ratings department, either. That they’re sticking with the genre that […]
Star Wars: The Force Awakens–I’m starting to warm up to that subtitle, at last–is approaching the box office of Avatar and I don’t understand it. What’s confused me is that I don’t understand how it is that Avatar was able to reach such box office heights in the first place. Let’s be honest, it’s not a […]
I really like the Zootopia trailer. It’s Pixar, which means that it’s going to look great, but unlike other of their movies it looks like it might do less moralizing, and more entertaining.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Resurrection, along with David Fincher’s Alien 3, are considered among many to be the worse movies in the Alien franchise.

(It’s worth mentioning that I’ve seen Fox’s version, and its biggest shortcoming was that the producers tried to make […]
Being a huge comic geek can at times be a double-edged sword despite the fact that with Marvel Studios, DC Entertainment and others producing record amounts of superhero-based content. Part of the trepidation is due to the fact that studios aren’t catering exclusively to comic book readers, so they have produce movies with the non-comic reader […]
I’m not particularly fond of how Fox has treated the Marvel properties (X-Men, Fantastic Four) that they have under their control. Though my feelings–and the clusterfuck that was the recent Fantastic Four movie notwithstanding–if box office receipts are any indication, most people approve of what they’re doing with the X-Men. Which brings me to the latest […]
When we first meet Will Bowman (Josh Halloway) he’s preparing breakfast–or at least attempting to–for his family, that consists of his wife Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies, most recently of The Walking Dead) and three children, before he heads out to work. Though one of his sons is missing, and Will is doing all he can […]
