I’ll readily admit that when I learned that Warner Bros. was making a movie based on Tarzan, I seriously wondered if Kevin Tsujihara was a bit out of his mind. After all, Tarzan has turned up numerous times–which leads me to believe that the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs is in the public domain–but […]
J.J. Abrams, the director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens had a pretty serious job ahead of him. In directed the latest Star Wars movies he had to manage to invigorate the franchise, while not alienating long-time fans of the movie. I’ve discussed this point and more below in my first video review. It’s a […]
I’ve written on this topic before, though I have yet to find an answer–satisfying or otherwise.
Marvel Studios is one of the most successful movie studios today, if profitable, reasonably-budgeted movies are the metric–if you consider a $200-250 million reasonable–so much so that some within Disney were rumored to be disappointed with the earnings of Avengers: Age of Ultron, which took in $1.4 billion at the box office–so if that’s a […]
I really want to like this movie. I have had a fascination with Egypt for most of my life–and the tattoo to prove it!–and want to really like it.
Looks okay, by which I mean those of us really into Harry Potter will probably have a good time. I was never particularly a fan–I don’t hate it, though I don’t particularly love it, either. In other words I don’t care one way or the other. Though Warner Bros is betting a lot that there are enough less apathetic movie […]
I refuse to leave out the colon in Star Trek: Beyond because while I am not a grammar nazi, it feels incomplete, as if someone hasn’t quite finished the sentence. “Star Trek Beyond….” Beyond what? Beyond Jupiter? Beyond Imagination? Beyond Getting On My Last Nerve!? Anyway, the trailer looks fun, and while I know that that’s a […]
The trailer for the latest chapter in the Independence Day saga dropped a few hours ago, and to be honest I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Between Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and X-Men: Apocalypse there are some huge movies coming out relatively soon. There’s potentially millions riding on when these […]
“Not Nearly As Bad As It Could’ve–Or Even Should’ve–Been. Satire!” Harvey Keitel, Luke Wilson, Sam Buscemi, Nick Nolte, John Turturro…I don’t know how Adam Sandler did it, but his Netflix movie, The Ridiculous 6, has an insane amount of cameos by some really good actors (at this point I wouldn’t be shocked if Sam Jackson or […]
I have just watched the latest trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse, and it’s…okay. It teases Apocalypse, his Four Horsemen, his origins and so forth but there’s a problem: As far as superhero movies go, we’re in a time of wonders. From the Avengers to Superman, some of the greatest in comics have, or will soon, pop up […]
