Horror movies often get a bad rap because like anything else the more sensational examples of the genre (Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) suck up all the oxygen, leading people to believe that if they’re not into copious amounts of gore, violence and/nudity there’s no place for them. And sure there’re a […]
The trailer for Altered Carbon: Resleeved dropped yesterday–continuing the adventures of Takeshi Kovacs–and it looked pretty good though if I were to have a criticism it would have to be the animation. It’s almost what I’d call an in-house style at Netflix–most of their anime is done in this fashion–and it’s great as far as […]
The trailer dropped for Disney’s Jungle Cruise earlier today and like most movies based on theme park rides I could care less (I’m serious. I don’t think I’ve even sat though any of The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies in their entirety). That is, till I saw the cast. Emily Blunt, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Giamatti, […]
The final trailer for Marvel Studios’ Black Widow dropped today and we get to see more of Taskmaster, who we learned is behind The Red Room (which if I recall was mentioned in Avengers (2012) and fleshed out in Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015)). It’s a great looking movie, though what bothers me–and I’m among […]
I going to just put this out there, but I don’t tend to like inspirational-type movies that wear their inspiration on their sleeves. Antebellum–at least based upon the trailer–is such a movie. Janelle Monáe plays Veronica, a powerful, progressive woman who’s chosen to go back to Slavery times to (likely) write some sort of wrong. […]
The Spierig Brothers’ Winchester is a fascinating movie that somehow manages to take the genuinely uncanny life of Sarah Winchester (the wife of William Winchester and heir to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company) and make it boring. It’s surprising because even a cursory examination of her life shows how fascinating it is. As I mentioned, […]
A few hours ago Matt Reeves, director of the upcoming The Batman, dropped some images of the Batmobile. So, let’s take a closer look… The silhouette is pretty interesting though those massive fender flares aren’t doing it any favors. As you can likely tell, it’s probably based on a Dodge Challenger. That being said, the […]
I went into Richard Stanley’s (Dust Devil, Hardware) Color Out Of Space excited but cautious because as someone who’s read the work of H.P. Lovecraft since his early teens my expectations were (perhaps unreasonably) high. Then again, if you’re at all familiar with Stanley’s firing from The Island Of Doctor Moreau–to be replaced by John […]
The trailer for Disney’s Artemis Fowl–based on the Young Adult novels by Eoin Colfer–dropped a few hours hours ago…and it’s a mess. For a start, it’s nothing that we haven’t seen before. Now, there’s little new under the sun, so it’s in the way that you arrange those familiar elements that matter most and this […]
The second season of Netflix’s Altered Carbon dropped Friday of last week and had quite a hurdle to clear. First, it had to make the replacement of Joel Kinneman seem natural (which is hard to do when you take into account that his replacement is Anthony Mackie, an African-American) then they had to make the […]
