Do we really need–or more importantly, want–another Terminator movie? Especially since the last movie in the saga, Terminator Salvation, performed relatively mediocre? Well, according to Paramount and Skydance, we do. Enter: Terminator: Genisys. The trailer looks okay, but is it really doing something that we have already seen? Or is it bringing something new to […]
I might have to turn in my African-American membership card after I admit this, but I have never been a huge fan of Spike Lee’s films. I often admire what I assume are his goals when making them, but in my eyes the final execution always left something to be desired because (it felt to […]
“Entertaining for children, and (probably) mildly interesting for adults.” Antboy, a film by Danish director Ask Hasselbalch, is a decent enough movie about a little boy named Pelie (Oscar Dietz) who’s bitten by an scientifically-enhanced ant, and gains certain insect-like abilities, like climbing walls, enhanced strength and acidic urine (?). The synopsis above probably sounds a bit familiar–except […]
Honestly, I don’t get the Trailer Park Boys. Their eponymously titled series is on #Netflix, and I’ve given it a try, but it just doesn’t work for me. That being said, I caught them on Getting Doug With High–a Youtube series revolving around comedian Doug Benson getting high while interacting with his guests, whom he also […]
I admit it, I shat the bed, figuratively speaking. When I saw the trailer below, I assumed that it was for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Star Wars sequel, The Force Awakens, and should have known better. Why? Because a huge clue was staring me right in the face the entire time, which I have posted just below. […]
Let me being by saying that I am not a huge fan of J.J. Abrams (and I still think the subtitle, The Force Awakens. is pretty weak). He’s talented, but feels relatively passionless to me. He also efficient–he finished Star Wars: The Force Awakens almost disconcertingly quick–but I am not sure I am feeling the love. […]
I liked most of I Am Legend, based on the story by Richard Matheson, though my admiration stopped at the computer-generated effects, which tended toward the cartoony. What makes matters even worse was that StudioADI was actually working on practical special effects on the movie for a time (which actually effected the way that I looked […]
The full trailer for Jurassic World was released a few hours ago, and the first thing I noticed was that it’s produced with Legendary Pictures, which was unexpected. What was also a bit unusual was that lots of people being literally eaten by exhibits in the last two films didn’t seem to faze the backers this […]
The halcyon days when trailers simply existed to inform viewers about a particularly movie, as opposed to being events in and of themselves, is pretty much a thing of the past. If I had any doubts, then the email I received from The Hollywood Reporter removed them. It explains that the trailer for the J.J. Abrams-directed Star […]
James Gunn, the director of Guardians Of The Galaxy, has some interesting words for studios that create cinematic universes based on weak properties, and it’s worth reading. I mention it because Jurassic Park has spawned two sequels, Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Jurassic Park III so perhaps the time has arrived for a relaunch […]
