I think Marvel Studios “The Avengers” is – so far – the best superhero film ever made. It takes itself seriously enough that it doesn’t come off as silly, yet remembers that this stuff is based on comic books, which were originally geared toward children (though in places like Japan – and to an extent […]
HTC isn’t doing too well in the smartphone wars. All that I have read says that their premium smart phone, the HTC One is a gorgeous, well-thought out device. That being said, with Apple and Samsung sucking up all the oxygen it’s hard for other smartphone makers to find some air to breathe. HTC seems […]
How does Conan O’ Brien get these scoops? I’d be careful if I were him because from what I hear the Sony legal department is just waiting to catch infringers in its legal web. Heck, Conan has money, so he’ll be OK. Me, I am not too sure. Despite my doubts, I have to believe […]
If I were that only person that said that “Pacific Rim” is a great time at the theater, then I could perhaps understand some hesitation. But if “Half In The Bag” says it’s good, you know they’re right. Their review is bit late (which Jay acknowledges) but better late than never.
The original “Robocop,” directed by Paul Verhoeven, was a science fiction film that was not only a satire of corporate culture and consumerism but was ideally representative of the 1980’s, a period of time when ‘Greed was good,’ and blatant excess was the order of the day. Coupled with Verhoeven’s own filmic excesses (Why shoot […]
I have been watching a lot of Netflix since I have been working getting over my cold. I finished watching “Firefly” – as a result I think I better understand the fixation the fans known as Browncoats have with the show; as an added bonus I appreciate Joss Whedon’s “Serentity” even more. I am also […]
I like Louis Leterrier as a director. His reboot of “The Incredible Hulk” captured the essence of the character without being as angsty as Ang Lee’s somewhat torutured version. He also seems to approach his projects with genuine passion for the subject matter. Then again, he also directed the reboot of “Clash Of The Titans,” […]
Success should be rewarded. If you’re good at what you do, you should be paid for it. Sometimes, handsomely. But when such things grow out of proportion, it borders on insanity. For instance, the head of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, recently announced that there would be layoffs to cut costs, which is an […]
I get that I am not exactly the target audience for this movie, but the trailer struck me as cloyingly cute. So cute in fact that if I were a diabetic I would keep my insulin at the ready, just in case. Gru, the villainous, though he was more misunderstood than evil, main character of […]
The answer to my question is probably still prison, but finding a link to this film got my hopes up, albeit momentarily. It’s a western, and sounds essentially like “Blade,” but with zombies instead of vampires. Unfortunately, it had been sitting on the shelf since 2007, so Snipes had to have made it prior to […]
