What is it with Matt Damon and comments and/or activities of a racially-dubious nature? First there were the comments made during his and Ben Affleck’s HBO series–now cancelled–Project Greenlight, where Damon finds diversity okay, as long as it’s in its place. If I recall, that happened sometime last year (or earlier this year). Now Damon […]
I honestly don’t understand the point of an “Ultimate Edition” of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice because I don’t know what’s it’s supposed to do. Make a confusing narrative a bit less so? Offer some sort of information why it is characters that in some instances have existed for 80 years have suddenly been […]
No one likes it when movies they support don’t do well at the box office. Though few fans are as passionate–or as vocal–as those of Marvel Studios and DC Films. All you have to do is to read the forums for sites that focus on superhero content–like Comicbookmovie.com and Superherohype.com, to name two–to realize […]
I like this trailer. Sure, it looks like a car crash between The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games movies with a liberal dollop of The Running Man but in its defense it revolves around actual adults, as opposed young adults, and stars Danny Glover and Alec Baldwin. Which is almost worth the cost of admission.
I’ve said it before, but with movies like Captain America: Civil War and the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse it’s hard for other movies to get any oxygen, particularly big-budget tentpoles like Warcraft and Independence Day: Resurgence Mixed reviews certainly don’t help, like in the case of Warcraft though I honestly think that people are getting tired […]
If you haven’t seen the trailer for Gavin O’Connor’s (Warrior) The Accountant, it revolves around Christian Wolfe (Ben Affleck) who’s a savant that if the flashbacks are any indication, and ranks relatively high on the autism scale. And it looks like an interesting idea for a movie, that is if you haven’t seen 2014’s The […]
How is it that Jimmy Kimmel manages to get the trailers for the biggest movies of summer before anyone else? From Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange and many others, Kimmel’s show is where they first appeared. The latest is for Assassin’s Creed, which is based on a […]
I think I want to see this movie. While the The Nice Guys looks like a typical Shane Black movie–The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight–that’s not necessarily a bad thing because those movies were a lot of fun. After all, it’s not like he’s is directing movies left and right (his last was Iron Man […]
And Yes, it’s as good as you hear it is. And there are ways to program against the box-office behemoth that is Captain America: Civil War, though pitting it against another superhero movie is probably not it. In other words, I’m saying Warner Bros moving Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice from the same release date was, […]
While I’m cobbling together a review for Captain America: Civil War–which won’t probably be ready before Saturday–I figured that I might as well write up something for Zoombies, which turned recently up on Netflix. Despite the title they’re no zombies present–of either the human or animal variety (though you probably noticed the extra ‘o’ in the title, which isn’t […]
