Star Trek is a mess. There, I’ve said it. It’s a Gordian knot of tangled timelines–Is it Prime? Is it Kelvin? Do you care any longer?–managed by people who apparently care more about monetizing it than actually building a living, viable world within its boundaries. I lean more into Gerry Anderson than Gene Roddenberry (I […]
The teaser for Terminator: Dark Fate dropped today and it looks better than the bulk of the past movies (beyond the first two) but even the return of Linda Hamilton can’t seem to elicit a pulse this time around. And since I’m in the mood for speculation, I suspect that the problem is that standards […]
The final trailer for Brightburn dropped yesterday, and I’m genuinely curious about the movie because I get the feeling that Zach Snyder really wished he could have treated his version of Superman in a similar fashion. Though that’s not quite fair because hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is and that was the Snyder’s […]
The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) is adapting the trilogy known as His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass/His Dark Materials, The Subtle Knife & The Amber Spyglass) as a miniseries, which is a really good idea because if the 2007 movie has shown us anything it’s that the material requires room to breathe. And few mediums […]
“Superheroes” will be at the National Museum of American History till September 2 and if you’re into either comics or superhero-based movies you might want to catch it. The exhibition hosts various memorabilia and props from the Tim Burton Batman movies and other characters like Wonder Woman, Captain America and Wolverine. It’s not as extensive […]
The full trailer for The CW’s Batwoman dropped earlier today and it bothers me. To be honest I feel that way about quite a few things about the trailer but one thing immediately went to the top of the list. And that’s the appearance of a young Lucius Fox (played by Morgan Freeman in the […]
I’ve always enjoyed British sci-fi. Reason being, it tends to be particularly dry and focus more on things like technology and hardware than it does on human emotions (they’re there but usually aren’t a priority). And sure, that can make for some particularly wooden television at times–check out the first season of Space: 1999. It’s […]
And if there were a definition of the term “teaser trailer” in a text book I wouldn’t be shocked if it referred to the Batwoman teaser because this thing literally tells you nothing at all beyond the obvious. Which is fine since I don’t particularly care about any of the CW shows that I have […]
I’ll be the first to admit that 2014’s Maleficent wasn’t the movie for me, which is why I expect it’s sequel will also not be to my liking. And that’s perfectly okay because the first movie earned just over $758 million dollars worldwide. In other words, they’re doing just fine without my two cents.
I love this movie. That being said, that’s not the same as it being a very good movie–because it isn’t. Not necessarily. It’s fascinating to watch though because the production was such a tumultuous one you can often see what the director intended to do, which is always interesting. And the warp effect is probably […]
