Poltergeist (2015) – Official Trailer 2

Okay, the first thing that I’ll admit is that the ending of the new Poltergeist trailer creeped me out just a bit.  That being said, it revolves around a clown–similar to  the original film–and everyone knows that clowns by their very nature are a tad creepy (without even trying). I don’t fear them, though they do […]

Trailer Park- Deadpool Edition

Deadpool was never one of my favorite characters.  Something about him being created by Rob Liefeld–who somehow managed to do very well for himself as a comic book artist despite having a really, really bad understanding of human anatomy. And that’s not hyperbole because it feels to me like he’s never seen a bodily structure […]

Netflix’s Daredevil Reviews Are Coming In…

..and the first I have read is from SuperHeroHype–and it’s pretty positive (effusively so, truth be told). In fact, I suspect that it’s perhaps too rosy seeing that it appears that the reviewer has only seen the first of a 13-episode series. Enthusiasm aside–after all, the site isn’t called SuperHeroHype for nothing–it’s a good sign that the opener […]

Reinterpreting Disney’s The Black Hole

A lot of critics attack Disney’s 1979 sci-fi blockbuster The Black Hole on the basis of science.  And while one level that’s understandable, it’s not terribly fair.  For instance one critic called foul on the black hole being visible. And while it’s true that according to science they cannot be seen–you don’t see the black […]

Spectre – Teaser Trailer

I didn’t particularly care for Quantum of Solace–which despite potentially being one of the worse titles ever is of particular interest due to the plot revolving around controlling access to water, which will probably be seen particularly relevant as corporate interests continue their effort to privatize water sources–and barely recall Casino Royale though Skyfall really got […]

My Thoughts On Idris Elba As James Bond

This is the type of crap I absolutely hate, and Roger Moore should know better.  What I am referring to is an interview he did with Paris Match when he said that Idris Elba wasn’t “English-English” enough to play James Bond. And he could be saying a lot of things–though we all know what he […]

Spring – Trailer

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead‘s Spring is an apt trailer to post since just earlier this week I was writing about H.P. Lovecraft. The movie revolves around (Lou Taylor Pucci) who meets Louise (Nadia Hilker) in Italy, and falls madly in love.  Sure, it’s weird that Evan can only see her at night, but what relationship […]

Is Jesse Eisenberg Miscast as Lex Luthor?

A picture has turned up of Jesse Eisenberg, who’s going to be playing Lex Luthor in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and he looks pretty “meh.” The main problem is that Luthor has traditionally been cast by actors like Gene Hackman (who played the character in 1978’s Superman) and Kevin Spacey (who played him in 2006’s […]
