Peanuts, based on the beloved cartoons by Charles Schulz, has been beautifully rendered in CGI, though looking at the trailer, I honestly can’t see a pressing reason why (other than virtually all American animation has gone the way of the computer). The characters themselves were never terribly distinctive–visually speaking–as cartoons, so it’s no surprise their CGI […]
What I referring to is in interviews how Ridley Scott often says that he feels as if he’s taken the Aliens as far as he’s able–keeping in mind that Prometheus as originally written was firmly entrenched in the Alien universe, till Damon Lindelof joined the project and excised most of those elements from Jon Spaiths’ screenplay–yet he keeps […]
I know that this is going to sound odd, but I have a pressing need for Adrián García Bogliano‘s Late Phases to be a entertaining, well-done horror film, of the werewolf sub-genre. For a start, I have seen Bogliano’s Here Comes The Devil, and it’s pretty mediocre. I haven’t yet seen Cold Sweat–it’s currently on #Netflix, though […]
I’ve played the original Dragon Age, if I recall, for less than a half hour before I lost interest. That’s more a commentary on me being really fickle more than anything else. In other words, it doesn’t take much for me to lose interest in something. For instance, if the control scheme is a bit unusual and […]
Demand I am still reasonably sure that there will be a sequel to the 2010 Joseph Kosinski film, Tron: Legacy. The original earned over $400 million worldwide, on a budget of $170 million. When you take into account promotional costs–which I don’t have access to, but I’ll add on another $100 million, which sounds […]
What’s going on with #Netflix and movie titles? I’ve just finished watching one of the most recent horror movies to turn up on the streaming service, Víctor García‘s The Damned (a decent horror film, though the story treats some pretty outlandish material in a very reverential fashion, when perhaps a more “comedic” approach, in the vein of […]
Maybe it’s just me, but I am getting the feeling that Johnny Depp is coasting just a little bit. I laughed when I saw the trailer the the upcoming Mortdecai–he’s pretty amusing–but you’ve also seen variations of this schtick from him before (particularly in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) and I just wish he’d do […]
“”Comforting Skin” is a decent movie, yet why do I feel gyped?” Derek Franson‘s Comforting Skin is actually a pretty decent thriller, though its biggest problem is that it advertises itself as one thing, when in actuality it’s something else. If you look at the trailer, it feels to me like a horror movie in the vein of Psycho […]
Blizzard Entertainment, creator of games like StarCraft and WarCraft has recently introduced Overwatch, a new game with an interesting storyline revolving around a time in the future when wars have been ended by superpower operatives, ofne of which happens to be a talking, armored gorilla. It the cinematic-style trailer is to beloved, it’s going to be amazing. Though what’s more […]
No, DeepStar Six, isn’t the latest Ultramarionation feature from Jamie Anderson, but a undersea horror movie from Sean Cunningham (Friday the 13th) that was followed in quick succession by George P. Cosmatos’ Leviathan, and culminated five months later in James Cameron’s far superior The Abyss. DeepStar Six revolves around a US Navy mission to place an undersea […]
