Few things lend themselves to comedy and coming of age dramas as Adolph Hitler–or so Taika Watiti seems to think seeing that he’s written and directed a drama+comedy=dramedy that’s centered around a little boy who when times get tough leans on an imaginary hero, the aforementioned Hitler. Though if you’re thinking Hitler is too fraught […]
I honestly expected to like Netflix’s reboot of The Dark Crystal, but what I didn’t expect was one of the best series of the year. I’ve always been a fan of puppetry as an art form but typically it’s hard to get beyond that particular aspect (as in you’re always conscious that you’re watching puppets) […]
The second trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate dropped a few hours ago, and it’s…underwhelming. The visuals look good, but are by no means exceptional. And there’s also way too much CGI, which was not the case with the first two movies, coincidentally the only two movies in the series that were accepted by both critics […]
The more I see of DC Films’ upcoming Joker, the more irritated I get. The film apparently exists outside current continuity, which wouldn’t be a problem if they would do their damn jobs and just take the time to build a universe for these characters. But that would imply that they have some idea of […]
While I enjoyed the teaser trailer for To Your Last Death I don’t quite understand the point of it in that–in the teaser at least–it looks like a lot of live action movies we’ve seen before, like Saw or The Collector. The strongest thing about it is the animation, which is a more traditional 2D […]
I love horror, conversely, I can’t stand American Horror Story, which even has “Horror” in the damn title! You’d think it’d be a no-brainer because…well, horror. But–at for the first season at any rate–American Horror Story was trashy. And icky (and not in a “good” way). I mean, if I’m not watching horror geared at […]
Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why wasn’t what I’d call an easy watch–though by no means a slog–but variety is the spice of life and without it things become really, really boring. So every once in awhile I take a break from horror and sci-fi to watch something a bit more reality-based. And as I said. it’s […]
Let’s be clear: I think Disney+ is a terrible idea from a business perspective. They’re literally paying billions to establish a streaming service–keep in mind they already own Hulu–when sans the streaming network, they could be selling their content to whomever was willing to pay for it. And EVERYONE would be willing to pay for […]
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, MGM releases a trailer–a teaser, but still–for the TITLE of the upcoming James Bond movie. And that title is, No Time To Die and I don’t think it’s a particularly great one though what interests me more than the title is the font. It’s an interesting font […]
Underwater looks awfully like Deep Star Six and Leviathan in terms of subject matter. If you’re a fan of underwater horror–and who isn’t–then it’s probably going to be a good time. (unlike the two aforementioned movies, which worked only intermittently). There’s one thing that makes me optimistic. Namely Underwater is directed by William Eubank, who […]
