It’s kind of incredible to believe, but Marvel’s Avengers: The Age of Ultron is well on the way to breaking even! This is because, while it won’t open domestically till May 1 (though there were showings for critics), its already premiered overseas in 11 foreign markets, where its estimated to earn over $160 million over the coming […]
Based on a deal between Valiant Entertainment and DMG Entertainment, characters like Bloodshot, Harbinger and Archer & Armstrong will be coming to your local cinema, though there’s an important question which I don’t see being asked, which is if there’s an audience for them. Currently, there’s a Big Two as far as movies based on comic books go, […]
Recently Zach Snyder released a teaser trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and it’s a whole lot of…(wait for it) “Meh.” It consists of a few pans from the Batman to Superman costumes, with bombastic music reminiscent of that from the Transformers movies. It’s the epitome of a teaser in that it reveals–literally–absolutely […]
“I’m glad you asked that because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan.” Brilliant writing. It plays on the cliche of movie villains always monologuing, when they should be instead either killing/kicking the ass of whomever they happen to be fighting. James Bond villains are notorious for this (particularly pre-Daniel Craig). […]
Heck, at least it’s not Daredevil;)
I have learned reading various blogs that most people love Netflix’s interpretation of Daredevil, though they aren’t too crazy about the fact that his suit isn’t closer to the one that appears in the comics. And that’s perfectly valid, though think about it for a moment: If the Netflix series was aiming for anything, it was realism. Sure, a heightened realism, […]
Red costume, red costume, red costume. Did I mention that I REALLY want to see the red costume? Curse you, DeKnight! Curse you! And the worse thing is, I have already partially seen it–Curse you, Internet! Curse you to Hell!–but I can tell that they don’t do it justice. I thought that I should mention […]
Last episode, Melvin Potter went to work designing a costume for the Devil, because he told him that he would save whoever Fisk was threatening to keep him in thrall. And speaking of Fisk, he’s getting shit from all sides. Vanessa is poisoned in an attempt to get to him, and Karen Page ends up […]
In an attempt by an unseen enemy to get to Fisk, Vanessa Marianna (Ayelet Zurer) is injured. And it’s finally sinking into Murdock’s thick skull that he needs armor. This is the second episode that mentions it, so–considering that there are only two remaining in the first season–it’s highly likely that he’s either getting it in episode 12 or […]
This episode we meet Stick (Scott Glenn) in flashback–he’s the man who taught Matt Murdock/Daredevil his formidable fighting skills–and in the modern day. He’s in New York to attempt to enlist Matt’s aid in stopping Nobu (Peter Shinkoda), the right hand of Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) from bringing a mysterious shipment, known only as Black Sky, into […]
