The Babadook – Review

“The terror of The Babadook starts innocently, with a children’s book, though it will grow to possess you.” Every since I saw 2009’s Triangle, I knew that Australia was and up-and-comer as far as interesting and innovative horror goes, though Jennifer Kent‘s The Babadook certifies their arrival. It’s a pretty impressive movie, because–unlike many of its brethren, domestic or otherwise–it […]

Iron Man vs. Ultron

“I’m glad you asked that because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan.” Brilliant writing.  It plays on the cliche of movie villains always monologuing, when they should be instead either killing/kicking the ass of whomever they happen to be fighting. James Bond villains are notorious for this (particularly pre-Daniel Craig). […]

Wolfcop – Review

“If you can make it through the entirely of Wolfcop, you’re a much better person than I am.” I tried, I really tried but I just couldn’t do it.

The New Ant-Man Trailer

Whomever cut this clip deserves some sort of award because it’s THAT GOOD. No longer exclusive to Marvel.com–here’s the new trailer for Marvel’s Ant-Man. And it’s glorious.  It has humor, great special effects, and manages to walk that slippery slope that respects the character, while at the same time acknowledging how silly the story actually is. […]

Sources For Daredevil’s (2015) New Suit

I have learned reading various blogs that most people love Netflix’s interpretation of Daredevil, though they aren’t too crazy about the fact that his suit isn’t closer to the one that appears in the comics. And that’s perfectly valid, though think about it for a moment:  If the Netflix series was aiming for anything, it was realism.  Sure, a heightened realism, […]

Daredevil Hallway Fight Scene

When I saw the Daredevil hallway fight scene–from the Netflix series not the 2003 movie–I was amazed at how fluid the action was, though once I got over my shock, I realized that I have seen it, in a sense, before. Here’s the fight scene from Oldboy, which also takes place in a corridor.   […]
