Anyone who thinks being an actor is all glamor and copious consumption–which isn’t to say that that isn’t there, but that’s hardly the case for everyone that makes the movies many of us love–needs to spend some time with the actors that bring characters like the Predator and Pred-Alien to life. As evidence, take a […]
How limited, you might ask? I have no idea, though according to The Daily Dead the free period began on the 16th, two days ago, so if you don’t already have in your collection, I’d take advantage of it before someone comes to their senses. Besides, the last “horror” film I watched was Children Of […]
Maybe it’s just me, but I am just not seeing the logic. Computer graphics have enabled filmmakers to create the seemingly impossible, and while I think that I will always prefer practical effects, I do understand that the leaps that CGI have reached are pretty impressive and such effects can’t often cannot be done any other way. […]
When Syfy premiered Z Nation a few months ago, the only thing that I was curious about was what took them so long. The Walking Dead has been breaking ratings records for AMC for years now, so that it took so long for someone to premiere another series that revolved around the undead was a […]
According to Robert Downey, Jr. Iron Man 4 is happening and truth be told I am a little torn by the decision. It’s a good thing because Downey, for millions of people (including this writer) embodies Tony Stark. It’s not such a good thing because Marvel has to know that they’re just delaying the inevitable. Originally […]
“”Pride” Is A Prime Example Of Why The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) Has Outgrew Its Usefulness.” It’s normal, as humans, to try to define the world around us in as concise a manner as possible. And it makes sense because when we were evolving as a species there were probably many instances where […]
What has bothered me for a long time about a lot of Queer cinema is that it tends to be very white–in that it revolves around white people (generally males) with nary a person of color to be found. And Matthew Warchus‘ Pride doesn’t on the face of it seem any different. That being said, what […]
Considering how ISIS (the International Secret Intelligence Service)–not the terrorist organization currently in vogue–seemingly did everything they could undermine their own efforts, they hardly needed help from outside. Or inside, for that matter. That being said, I feel reasonably certain that there there was someone within ISIS doing just that. Perhaps they were too caught up in their […]
I understand why some fans of characters like the Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Spider-Man and The Avengers want to see all their favorite heroes on the screen at the same time. Imagine the Avengers..avenging, when Spider-Man swings by or the X-Men encountering Iron man or Captain America? It’s not impossible, though it is very unlikely because […]
I don’t quite know what to make of Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman. On one level it appears to be a superhero drama, on another it appears to be a dark comedy. I get the feeling that this Birdman only exists in the imagination of Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) whom appears to be a washed-up actor. What his […]
