The Car: Road To Revenge let’s be clear, is a bad movie. I don’t say that to dismiss the hundreds of people who likely worked hard to make this movie possible but because it steals liberally from both Robocop and The Crow (both remarkably better movies) yet manages not to do that very well. The […]
This is amazing news! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sam Raimi is in talks to take over Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness from Scott Derrickson, who stepped down earlier this year due to ‘creative differences.’ Now, I don’t think that Derrickson got to show what he could bring to the franchise with the […]
This is an odd one because when I learned the title of the latest Saw movie was Spiral: From The Book Of Saw I got vaguely biblical vibes (that’s why in my reaction I kept saying ‘Saul’ instead of ‘Saw’), which considering the subject matter is virtually sacrilegious. Spiral is a reboot of a franchise […]
2019’s Uncut Gems was for me a pleasant surprise–though the movie, due to it’s particularly dark subject matter–was not ‘pleasant’ in the typical sense of the word. That’s not to say that it isn’t worth seeing, but it’s very much adult in terms of its language, themes and sensibilities. The movie is a treatise on […]
Russell Davies created Queer As Folk (starring Aidan Gillan, Craig Kelly and a very young Charlie Hunnam) that ran from 1999-2000. Later, in 2005 he was an executive producer/writer on Doctor Who. Interestingly, if watch the first episode of the original Queer As Folk, there’s a scene where Vince Tyler (Craig Kelly) is watching Doctor […]
Fast & Furious 9 as a title just feels awkward to me. Maybe it’s the combination of an ampersand with a number. Though the trailer itself? It’s fucking bonkers. I’ve never been a fan of the Fast & Furious movies but it feels like it’s part of the MCU’s multiverse because the cars and their […]
This is interesting. The video below shows (supposedly) an animatronic version of Spider-Man that’s going to appear in the Avengers Campus exhibition coming to Disney California Adventure Park that I learned of via Superherohype. And it looks pretty interesting, but if you look closer it resides firmly in the uncanny valley because it’s missing one […]
Pledge is a fascinating movie that works on numerous levels though what I didn’t mention in my video review was that the movie acts as a commentary on the meanness, the brutality of capitalism too as people literally kill each other to jockey for an economic position over the other person. Pledge was directed by […]
Vivarium was directed by Lorcan Finnegan, and he happens to be a director I’m familiar with, having seen his 2016 movie, Without Name. Speaking of Without Name, it was okay though the concept when all is said and done was more interesting than the execution. Now Vivarium…this looks interesting! It reminds me vaguely of The […]
Trick has put me in a awkward place because it’s not only a not very good movie, it has very little to redeem it (it stars Omar Epps and the great Tom Atkins–The Fog, Escape From New York, Night of the Creeps, etc–though they’re mostly wasted) In fact, what’s worse is that the central concept […]
