I fully admit that the success of Jurassic World caught me by surprise. I didn’t necessarily think that it would fail, though if anyone had told me that it would be breaking records made by 2014’s The Avengers I would have laughed at such a ridiculous notion. That being said, what’s in its way even […]
I am genuinely psyched for movies like Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice but what I am even more interested in is something that we won’t be seeing on the big screen, and that’s Gerry Anderson’s Firestorm. Originally sold by creators Anderson and John Needham to a Japanese company, it was […]
A teaser trailer for Fear The Walking Dead, the companion series to AMC’s The Walking Dead, has turned up, and I am a bit concerned in that I have no idea what’s going to differentiate it from the series that spawned it. They appear to be going the route of using the trailers to individually introduce significant characters, […]
The story around Relativity Studios’ reboot of The Crow, which I originally wrote about here, continues albeit in a fashion that I had not anticipated. I mentioned originally that among the many issues that the remake was facing was whether or not Relativity would be able to refinance it’s debt in time. If not the studio could be […]
{youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrV-rregHIw] I was going to link to the latest trailer for The Peanuts, except that for some reason Fox isn’t allowing it. I’ve tried different sites, but the result is the same: No love. Which is a bit weird in that this is the fourth trailer from the movie, so I am not quite seeing […]
I don’t believe in literal curses, though I do believe that–for whatever reason–some productions are more troubled in others and you can’t get more ‘troubled’ than The Crow. Keep in mind that Brandon Lee was killed during production on the original film–shot at close range by a blank–and while no one has died during the remake, […]
“What Kind Of Cars Are Those? They’re So Scary.” I didn’t make up that quote, by the way, it’s an actual line from the movie, which is problematic because NO ONE talks like that, particularly when there’re being chased by a bunch of assassins. Though the thing is, the actor who uttered the line, T.J. Miller, is always […]
Recently DC revealed the latest costume for Batman, via Comicbookresources. Despite not being a huge fan of either DC Comics or the character, I really like it. The current iteration of Batman is caped, and while it sticks with tradition, these days it doesn’t quite make sense. The character was originally created in the 1940’s with a design intended […]
I was pretty impressed by Skyfall, which somehow managed to be referential to James Bond movies past, while at the same time breaking new ground. Though Spectre holds the promise of being the James Bond feature that reintroduces to fans a character that many have been waiting for for a long time, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. A […]
Katniss Everdeen, and the rebellion she helped nurture has finally borne bitter fruit, as the players aligned against President Snow seemingly make their move. Though what I find most interesting is that the world of Panem–as depicted in the Hunger Games movies, at any rate–looks remarkably similar to today’s America (in that you have entrenched elites making all […]
