I did not like Christoper McQuarrie’s Mission Impossible: Fallout (virtually) at all. It’s a well-directed movie, though I can’t separate it from Tom Cruise and his Scientology cult. It’s worth mentioning that literally every religion began as a cult, essentially a belief system with relatively few believers, so if I were to have an issue […]
The trailer of Godzilla: King Of The Monster dropped a week or so ago, and I can at least see the monsters–something you can’t necessarily say about the 2014 movie. It should go without saying but I. Want. To. See. The. Monsters. Why would I be remotely interested in these movies if not to see […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ang Lee’s Gemini Man is, on the face of it, problematic. First off, on the face of it the plot of the movie seems AWFULLY similar plot-wise to 2012’s Looper. But that’s likely just a coincidence. After all, there’s relatively little that’s new under the sun. Though what’s potentially an bigger issue is that the […]
I’ll readily admit that movies like Hobbs & Shaw aren’t typically the types of movies I tend to see. Too many cars defying the laws of physics, too much exposition about people being “family” as opposed to people just acting as such. That being said I enjoyed the trailer because it rises or falls on […]
Chad Stahelski’s John Wick: Chapter 2 is a fairly odd duck. It has all the stuff a regular movie has–actors, sets, production design, lighting design–but it’s really, really strange. And most of that strangeness is due to Keanu Reeves, who’s less a bad actor than a tabula rasa; a void embodied in human form. Though […]
